  1. You could add another 512MB RAM easily. Also, I doubt you would even have to move around the RAM. Just try putting the 512MB in the secondary slot, if PC doesn't boot up then move around the RAM. It's real easy to do and you shouldn't have any problems adding a 512 stick.

  2. If installing over an old version doesnt remove the settings then that is sure that some file(s) are preserved. Ask CCleaner support or ask in forums about the file.

     

     

    All files are overwritten, it just doesn't change the registry settings for it.

  3. They all have their ups and downs.

     

    I have...

     

    Adware SE Personal

    Spyware Doctor (Regged)

    Spybot - S&D

     

    I don't use any real-time protection. I just don't see any need in it. I do have a modified HOST file though, that's always a good idea.

     

    The only one I have ever used is Spybot - S&D, but only once. Common sense is a good thing to use, so I never really get to use any of them. But, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

  4. CCleaner works with FF 2 and IE 7.

     

    CCleaner will save cookies for both. Just uncheck Delete Index.dat files if you save IE 7 cookies.

     

    CCleaner is the only program that cleans the most programs I know of. Check out winapp2.ini in my sig.

     

    Add /AUTO to the command-line parameter and it will clean in stealth mode.

  5. Hey arizonabay,

     

    I don't mean to sound rude or anything. At the time we really didn't know what to suggest, I have been around for a while now, and we have had only a small number (around 4 or 5) with this problem. We didn't know what caused the problem or how to recreate it. There are so many different PC configurations and settings, almost everyone's is different.

     

    I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to PC's and Windows, but I never would have guessed the environment variables (it's one of them things, no one ever touches, or even really knows about). I'm just glad the problem was found and how to fix it.

     

    I know what it's like to get stuff deleted. I have crashed XP a few times (didn't know how) I had to reformat, I had important work related material on it.

     

    Like, I always tell myself. "You can only learn from your mistakes and move on."

     

    I am sorry for the trouble you went through and no one could help you.

     

    We do care, it's just we didn't know what to do.

  6. You can have it clean all the files with an extension in a folder, but that is. It won't scan your hard drive for certain file extensions. Which is why I like CCleaner, you can run into problems just wanting to clean certain file extensions.

     

    That's one of the reason's why CCleaner is so safe.

  7. I can confirm this.

     

    Details

    --------

     

    Environment Variables

     

    User variables for (YOUR ACCOUNT)

     

    TEMP %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp

    TMP %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp

     

    Not having these will not affect CCleaner and the cleaning of your PC in anyway.

     

    System variables

     

    TEMP %SystemRoot%\TEMP

    TMP %SystemRoot%\TEMP

     

    Not having these will affect CCleaner and the cleaning of your PC.

     

    It will delete the following:

     

    Everything in Application Data Folder

    Everything in Local Settings

    Desktop Icons

    Favorites

    My Documents

    NTUSER files (.bak, .ini, .tmp.LOG)

    Everything in SendTo

    Everything in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories (Shortcuts)

    Everything in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Accessibility (Shortcuts)

    Everything in Start Menu\Programs\

    Everything in Templates folder

    Everything in User Data

     

    This is all for the User Account and will not affect other Accounts or stuff that is set to All User Profiles.

  8. CCleaner cleans the basic/harmless registry entries. It's good to use a registry cleaner, but you always want to look over every entry before you delete it.

     

    For the average user, the CCleaner registry cleaner, will do just fine.

  9. No, I got it off of fileforum earlier today. They were offering IE 7 Yahoo! optimized (only version at the time). It had the Yahoo toolbar, Yahoo set as home page, and Windows Internet Explorer provided by Yahoo! as the title. So, I just uninstalled the Yahoo! toolbar and changed the main title. :D
