  1. I have been using Firefox since long before the cows came home! I admit I am a little bit fed up with it and I have been vaguely thinking about changing. The launch of the CCleaner browser just happens to be opportune and I have had an hour or so playing around, trying to get my head under the hood (not a good idea for me!). On the whole, there is a lot to like about it compared with FF version 90-odd and increasing almost daily. However, among half a dozen minor issues, there is a major one which I have not been able to resolve but is very important for me. Please note that I am not saying that the CC browser is faulty – what I am saying is that I haven't been able to get it to work as I want, which is to have a list of several tens of bookmarks down the side. As far as I can make out, the list that your browser generates is on the line under the address and I don't seem to be able to move it to the side. If I'm doing something wrong, please say so!
  2. Okay, guys, Thank you all for your input, which has been most helpful. I have eliminated about 90% of the space taken by Windows.old, a relic from version 7, for the most part. At the same time it has also eliminated a handful of other files, some of which were of totally unknown origin – again, a relic! For the record, I used the Disk Cleanup method. This went quite well, while I was out of the house for four hours. I will do a de-frag the next time I have to be out of the house for any length of time. I am impressed at receiving the answer to my problem in less than 24 hours and that the answer worked first time! I am a happy bunny as well as being a happy devil! Thanks again. Devil
  3. Have just installed the pro version, having used the free version for several years. You can therefore consider that I am a newbie. One of my first actions was to explore how to handle duplicate files and note that the recommendation is to delete only "homegrown" files. It appears that I have literally thousands of files named Windows.old\ that are individually small but add up into the gigabyte range (see attachment). There may be 2 to over 100 similar files in any one directory (24 and two, in the attachment). My instinct is to delete everything with C:\Windows.old\WINDOWS\… But I do not have a clue as to whether this would be safe or not. And should I leave the last version which is not checked in the attached list? Can some kind person shed some light on this matter, please?
