Autostart entry CCleaner

Hi,

at first, my english is not so good, but i hope you can understand me... :rolleyes:

I have a problem with the autostart entry of CCleaner:

in the settings you can choose "Run CCleaner when the computer starts". I have made this choice and now i want to cancel it, but it?s not possible.

Every time when i cancel the entry and i go back to the settings, the choice is activated again automatically.

What can i do to cancel the entry permanent?

Thank you for your answers.

Hi Baron, and welcome to the forum.

Have a look in CCleaner\Tools\Startup, and disable or delete the CCleaner entry. That should do the trick, and I think it kinda neat it's cancelling itself.

If you have the "Save Settings To an INI File" box checked, this should carry through to the INI file. If you still have a problem afterwards, post back.

And your English is fine.

:)

Hi,

i still have the problem like before. Disabling or deleting of the CCleaner entry in CCleaner\Tool\Startup was not successful, the check box "Save settings to an INI file" was activated but the entry for autostart appears again and again.

I the meantime i have uninstall the CCleaner completely and install a fresh version (v2.17.853) again, but the setting "Run CCleaner when the computer starts" was activated automatically.

Have you any ideas?

Hmm, I'll have to try this myself and see what happens, unless one of the other guys already knows of a way to stop it re-activating all the time.

I'm assuming that you uncheck the relevant checkbox ie "Run CCleaner When The Computer Starts", and then after re-booting, CCleaner runs again, and the box is checked again.

This is what I assumed originally, but I just thought I'd confirm that.

I've learned something. That setting isn't saved in the CCleaner INI file. However, I checked the "Run CC On Startup" box, rebooted, and CCleaner ran as expected. I then unchecked the box, closed CCleaner down, rebooted and CCleaner didn't run and the box remained unchecked.

If your checkbox is reactivated after rebooting, and even after reinstalling, it may be a corrupt reg entry. I'm not sure, but it's worth a look.

The registry entry for CCleaner Auto-Starting on boot is found here: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"

Try this: Check the "Run On Startup" box, and close CCleaner down, go to Start\Run\enter "regedit" (without the quotes), press OK, and navigate to the above registry address.

There should be an entry for CCleaner as follows:

Leave Registry Editor open, go back to CCleaner and uncheck the box, and close CCleaner down. Now go back to Registry Editor and in the "View" drop down menu, refresh the page.

The CCleaner entry should now be gone, which means when you reboot the setting should remain unchecked. If that entry is still there, then I think that must be your problem. You'll need to delete that manually.

Just highlight the start of the CCleaner line, right click and delete. Exit Registry Editor and re-boot. Hopefully CCleaner will not start up again, and the box will remain unchecked.

Hello,

thank you in advance for your helping but your solution doesn?t works, i have done everything that way as you have described it.

After deleting of the entry in the regestry and refresh the view, the entry appears again automatically although the entry in CCleaner is unchecked. In CCleaner appears the entry after unchecking again as well.

Interesting problem, isn?t it?

Interesting problem alright.

We gonna have to reel in some more heads to figure this one out. Everything I've tried has gotten rid of the check mark, without it returning on reboot.

I was just about sure deleting the reg key would fix it.

So after deleting the registry key, and refreshing the page, the CCleaner entry appears again immediately?

Hi,

yes, after deleting the registry key and refreshing the page, the CCleaner entry appears again immediately.

I don?t know what?s the reason, because when i uninstall the CCleaner and install the actual version again, then i have an automatical entry in the checkbox "Run CCleaner when the computer starts"... Like a cookie... :blink: :blink:
