[version 2.30.1130 not working correctly!]

FYI

I see in Windows 7 the regular recycle bin does not have the $ anywhere in site.

BUT

The post recycle does. It's called: $RECYCLE.BIN

It is not openable in W7

But ... Like I had mentioned, I 'think' XP has the same thing as

I was having this problem before I switched!

Can someone using XP sp2 check this out too plz ...

[version 2.30.1130 not working correctly!]

Oops, I didn't expect to get a reply so soon. (I rewrote post #3). To me, the heart of the matter is that file starting with a ""$"".

 

 

I will recheck it again in the AM when I have something to delete.

Thanks LOT!

Mistress,

 

I don't use Windows 7 but perhaps I can offer some help. When I look at the picture it suggests CC v2.31 is stuck when wiping the recycle bin. And I know CC fails to wipe/overlooks files which names start with the character ""$"".

 

So, I would suggest that you un-tick/un-select all CC options except for ""Empty recycle bin"" and try again. Or tick a number of boxes and untick ""Empty recycle bin"" and try again. How does CC behave now ?

 

Just a quicky reply ...

This also happened with XP. I JUST switched to W7.

As soon as the recycle bin re-loads I will un-check it, BUT that seems SO counterproductive!!

That's is why I have CCleaner!

Hi!

I am a long time user of CCleaner, and for the 1st time I am having troubles with it!

I am using v.2.30.1130. On aprox. 21% the program stalls. The 'wheels' are spinning but nothing happens.

I have un-clicked wipe MFT free space (C drive only) and it didn't help.

I am using windows 7 home 32 bit. Running as admin.

I use Firefox and IE. And I am still getting use to them, and I am not sure where the temp

internet files for each browser are ... yet.

I also notice that that the cookies are not being cleared out.

It will show like 6 files in the analysis where there are really 20+

so I tried to clear them and nothing happens.

Thanks!

I just downloaded the new version of CCleaner 2.3.1.1153 and it still stalls and goes VERY slowly at 21%!!!

It has been at the 21% mark for almost 1/2 hour now.

 

Can someone PLEASE acknowledge my post?

Thanks!

[CCleaner Registry cleaning question]

/FileExts/ registry entries that CCleaner finds are left by files you dealing with, that aren't associated with any programs (open with...). once you choose to that file program to open with,it's no longer unnessesary registry key. example, open .bak with notepad and so on...

 

so those /FileExts/ entries that CCleaner or some other reg. cleaner finds,are SAFE to delete.

 

 

Thank you all!

[Registry Backup - BEFORE CCleaner runs]

I second the ERUNT suggestion!

 

WOW! ERUNT must be popular! I got the same answer in 2 posts, so all my questions were answered

I just wish there was a product out there that did everything. Even the registry product that I purchased doesnt do everything.

 

Thanks to all who posted answers! This is my last post so toodles to all!

[CCleaner Registry cleaning question]

I found some info on the SysmonLogManager.Snapin here. The last entry by Samlar offers a solution to fixing the issue. I'm guessing it would also be OK just to let Ccleaner remove it since it doesn't appear to be needed but using the fix in the post may be the safest way to go just in case.

 

In general Ccleaner is very conservative with the entries it flags for removal and they are almost always safe to remove. As hazelnut said if you have doubts you can allow Ccleaner to create a backup before cleaning when it asks. You could also create a System Restore Point if you wish.

 

A lot of forum members create registry backups with ERUNT which is an excellent [and fast] registry backup utility. It can also be set to create a backup whenever the computer boots and it doesn't use a lot of memory and resources like System Restore does.

 

Thank you! I will look up the info on SysmonLogManager.Snapin as soon as I am done posting.

This is funny that you posed about the ERUNT product as I just got it, and, in my other post, hazelnut posted the same product LOL! Must be good!

Thanks again!!!

Hello Mistress,

Don't forget that with the issues scan you are prompted to make a back up which you can restore at any time you choose.

 

 

Hi!

I tried to delete a few of the strange entries: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.]

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.\OpenWithList]

"a"="DVDx.exe"

"MRUList"="a"

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.1]

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.1\OpenWithList]

"a"="NOTEPAD.EXE"

"MRUList"="a"

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.68/adultpleasureseekers/]

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.68/adultpleasureseekers/\OpenWithList]

"a"="iexplore.exe"

"MRUList"="a"

 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.DSG]

 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SysmonLogManager.Snapin]

=============

I wish I knew what they all meant. I know some are website URLs and URL directories, but things like the .DSG and the SysmonLogManager.Snapin I have NO idea what they are!

[Registry Backup - BEFORE CCleaner runs]

Hi Mistress,

Welcome to the forum.

 

CCleaner does offer you this option. Click "Issues" > scan for issues. If anything is found it will offer you the

option to fix selected issues. If you click ok CCleaner will ask you if you would like to backup/ save your settings to "my documents" before it runs.

 

Btw, the registry tool in CCleaner is not very aggressive. It very rarely causes any problems.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Woody.

 

Hiya Woody,

I just ran a registry scan and unchecked everything except for 2 entries, just to see what would happen,

and it only showed what was slated to be deleted...

I was talking about a regular, straight backup, a FULL registry backup!

Not just backing up the files that are going to be deleted.

[CCleaner Registry cleaning question]

Hi!

I am a new user of ccleaner. I love it! Ilike the way it finds bad registry files, that my other registry cleaner does not.

This is my delema... I surf tons of websites and do a bit of website design. I have hundreds of entries similar to the ones below.

Is it safe to delete ALL of the entries that are listed? When I say hundreds I mean hundreds! LOL

Thank you for your feedback!

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/FileExts/.htpasswd-bak/

OpenWithList

 

or

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/FileExts/.com/pub/pc/winxp/netutil/

OpenWithList

 

or a little different

[Registry Backup - BEFORE CCleaner runs]

Hi all!

I am a new user to CCleaner. Nice little program!

I would like to address 1 portion of CCleaner, the registry cleaning part.

I would LOVE to see a registry cleaning program that will have a backup

registry option BEFORE it runs. I've looked at a few programs, and I own 2,

and NOT 1 that I looked at has the option of backing anything up before deletion.

 

Just a suggestion
