[ZoneMaps in XP registry and password]

Thank you for the information and sharing your knowledge. When I ran across some of the entries I was wondering what is this?

Glad I didn't do something stupid.

Appreciated very much.

[ZoneMaps in XP registry and password]

I am just a regular home user, not associated with a business or anything.

There are a couple of feature requests I have for CCleaner.

1.

Is it possible for CCleaner to have a registry setting which would check and delete the keys within the

ZoneMap\Domains

and

ZoneMap\EscDomains

Within Windows XP registry, a listing of all sites the computer has visited is located within some of these registry keys.

Such as

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\EscDomains

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\EscDomains

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\EscDomains

Also under the individual users, such as

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\EscDomains

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\EscDomains

And all the other HKEY_USERS under S-1-5, that may be on the individual computer, -20-, -21, -22, etc....

To totally clean a computer of any previous activity, these Domain Listings should be deleted.

 

The examples above were for a Win XP system.

On a Win7 machine, some of these locations may be under the registry of TypedURLs or DOMStorage, etc..

 

2. Is it possible to have a password option within the Options/Advanced Tab.

Something along the lines of having the Option, to password protect the Registry tab and or the Cleaner tab, or no passwords at all.

Plus make it sticky so you dont have to enter the PW multiple times during a single session.

 

2a. If password protection is possible, can the password be encrypted within the registry?

Such as how it is being done at:

Thanks for maintaining such a fine product.

[CCleaner and chrome frame issue]

Hello,

 

Not a bug per-se, but just a quick courtesy note & a FYI concerning something I ran into with CCleaner and "Google Chrome Frame"

 

I am trying out a program called Plex. Part of the installation recommends to install "Google Chrome Frame".

http://www.plexapp.c...ownload-new.php

This portion recommends the chrome frame install:

For optimal performance and compatibility with Plex Media Manager, we recommend Google Chrome, Safari, FireFox, or IE9 with Google Chrome Frame.

http://code.google.c...me/chromeframe/

 

When I ran CCleaner today I got a pop-up saying I needed to close Google Chrome.

I did not have any web browsers open, so I looked at my running processes.

I noticed ("chrome_frame_helper.exe" --startup") was running.

After killing the process I was able to run CCleaner as normal.

 

The "Chrome_Frame_Helper" is listed within a few start-up location within my system

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run ChromeFrameHelper chrome_frame_helper.exe

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\Protocols\Handler gcf npchrome_frame.dll

 

So this "chrome_frame_helper" is always going to run at startup, if I leave this helper installed

As mentioned, I did not have any web browsers open.

 

Thank you for having and maintaining such a fine set of tools.
