Even though I have 'Tray Notifications Cache ' ticked it doesn't remove the Tray Notifications. After running the cleaner, rebooting, and even ended explorer.exe task and restorting it the notifications are stil there. I opened the registry to see, and 'IconStreams' and 'PastIconsStream' are both still there.
I've unchecked all other except 'Tray Notifications cache' and run 'Analyze' and it still doesn't seem to notice that the registry values are still there... it finds 0 bytes to clean.
Is there something I'm missing?
One more thing. How the heck does one edit the post subject??? I clicked Edit but was unable to do so.
You can't edit the title. A moderator must do it for you.
Tray Notifications Cache only clears the notification icons for programs that no longer present themselves if I understand correctly. Have you tried updating CCleaner to 3.21?
Registry Entries are not displayed when cleaning or analyzing (unless, of course, you're in the Registry section.)
But, was just curious why it doesn't seem to clean this when I clean everything and I have it checked.
You don't say what Windows version you're using!
Because after using it you have to:
1. End task Explorer.exe manually yourself.
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up Windows Task Manager, and in the Windows Task Manager either Log Off/Log On, or Restart.
In Windows XP it's fine to just Log Off/Log On, you don't have to reboot.
Of course it would be nice if CCleaner would end task Explorer.exe itself and then give a dialog depending upon the Windows version to either Log Off or Restart with a clickable button to do either. That's wishful thinking though.
