I have noticed the same problem that you have. After I upgraded to the latest version (v2.11.636) every time that I run it , it wipes out all of my saved preferences and login info for websites. All of the cookies to keep are still saved like they were before. It is like the program is totally ignoring the command to keep those cookies and throwing everything away. I wish somebody would look into this because it is really annoying to have to login and save your preferences at multiple websites all of the time. Other than that I think CCleaner is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
What browser are you using?
I notice that you are using Full screen because I spy with my little eye the two overlapped squares in your pic you posted.
I haven't used Full screen since DOS days.
I learned that in Windows there are things like Tile Windows Horizontally, Tile Windows Vertically and size a Window by dragging the edge to as wide or tall as you want leaving the Windows overlapping so that I can change to a background Window really quickly.
Once you start using Windows the way it was designed you will be amazed at how many things you can do at once without having to remember where you left that last Full screen Window.

I am using Maxthon for a browser. That is really irrelevant though as opening CCleaner doesn't happen inside of the browser, you can size the window of it however you like. I opened it up and used Photoscape to capture a screenshot.
I prefer to use most programs utilizing the whole screen if possible. The only thing that I find window tiling useful for is working with spreadsheets. I run the taskbar on auto-hide and keep on top of other windows, this makes it really easy to access any of your open programs and still be able to see everything in them. You have to do entirely too much scrolling when using sized windows to see all of the info in them. Just my opinion though, everybody does what works best for them.
I also don't like to keep a lot of shortcuts on my desktop, I put them in my Quick Launch bar instead accessible through the taskbar. I don't like a lot of clutter.

Please be informed that I use Vista Home Edition 64-bit French (living in Switzerland). Since I installed IE8 Beta 2, all my saved cookies are ignored and wiped out when I restart my very standard 6GB test PC.
Read about Ibuprofen dangers! Especially if you're taking any prescription medications, but still even if you don't you need to know the risks. That's one pain killer I'll never take again.

I have the same problem on XP Pro that I run on an old PIII because IE8 is faster than IE7.
I reported it the Microsoft IE8 beta area of their forum and I am now following the discussion there:

I'm not on any other medication.
I read the directions carefully and dole out the maximum dosage each day in a separate container and I take nowhere near the maximum dosage.
I take them because I have a constant toothache in a lower left molar that I had root canal a few months ago that I have to make an appointment to go get extracted.
I also have lower back and hip pain due to an old car rear-ender crash that caused a pinched Sciatic nerve. A heating pad and Massage with Acupuncture therapy really help as well.

You may have figured it out. I thought that it was CCleaner that was causing it so I reverted back to the last version. I had installed IE8 Beta 2 recently myself and last night had a security update that required an automatic restart in the middle of the night. This morning I had to log back in to websites and set preferences again, so apparently IE8 Beta 2 is the culprit not CCleaner.
Leave it to Microsoft to screw something up, they seem to be really good at that considering how bad they messed up with Vista.
Sorry that I pointed the finger at CCleaner becasue it doesn't look like it was their fault. Keep up the good work.

I have conducted extensive tests on the 32-bit and on the 64-bit environment. CCleaner works fine with IE7 and IE8 Beta2 in the 32-bit environment. But I regret to say that in the 64-bit environment with IE8, CCleaner does not work properly. IE7 works fine in the 64-bit environment.
Besides I wish to quote CCleaner itself when it says in its FAQ that "It's currently partially compatible with 64bit XP and Vista, there are a few non-critical issues which are still being worked on."
Now I've been using CCleaner for a couple of years without any problems with any version. Now I normally do a clean once a week and a couple of weeks ago I did a clean and shut the computer down. The next day all these 40 forum sites that I use all needed to be logged in again. Now before I logged in I opened CC and checked what was in my cookies to keep listbox and they were all listed as normal. So I logged back in to all my 40 forums and check CC again and no new ones were showing up in cookies to delete listbox.
I start back to work today after my 5 weeks holiday and when I start to use my 40 forums on WinXP I have to loggin on everyone again. Now I don't know if this is a quirk or what but it appears strange I have to loggin everything again and this as never happened before.
Anyone else had this problem?
Hello,
well,I'm glad I'm not the only one ! Because that is very precisely what happened to me.I upgraded two days ago from the last 1.xxx to the latest 2.xxx and bingo,my cookies are not memorized by cc.This is only IF I REBOOT (rolled back to the last 1.xxx and it does the same now !!!)

I have xpSP3/32,IE7
Any ideas ? Thanks.
I thought I couldn't be the only one to see this problem. Reboot as never been a problem because I always turn off my computer at night there is no point in using Standby Mode.
Any ideas ? Thanks.
Not yet we are still trying to find how many user have experienced this problem. And we've had no reply from Admin on this problem. We generally get a note problem noted will be fixed on next issue.
Ah,Keith,really can't figure out what has gone wrong....I've just realised that this pb didn't affect the second account I have on my computer !
Is there a crucial setting that I modified without noticing it ?
Not really Lou it all depends who has logged in the computer so it uses their own cookies. So in Options\Cookies that will show a list of all cookies in My Documents and Settings\&username&\Cookies folder. So you just select one you want to keep and click the -> button to transfer it to the Cookies to Keep listbox.
So the next person that logs in will have to do the same procress for their cookies. I'm not sure about admin rights for other users, do they have admin rights?
This thread caught my attention. Im running IE8 B2 on Vista 32bit. I wasnt able to reproduce the problem regarding cookies and logins. The cookies I specified to keep always remained while all others were removed. No problems.
So I was determined to reproduce the problem. I noticed from the screenshots that the difference for me was not deleting the index.dat files. So like a moron, I checked the box and deleted the index.dat files. Rebooted and all logins for 20+ forums were lost.
3 index.dat files were removed:
5.85 MB's ...\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\Index.dat
80 KB ...\Cookies\Index.dat
10 KB ...\Cookies\Low\Index.dat
I realized the problem was CC removed the index.dat files from the cookies folders. So I added the following exclusions:
Ran CC after logging back into several forums. Checked 'Delete Index.dat Files' and performed the cleaning. This time the 2 index files for cookies were excluded. I rebooted and my logins were just fine.
So should CC exclude the cookie index files so users wont have this sort of problem? Or display a message box prior to cleaning? Maybe those files should be listed as a separate checkbox?
[ ] Delete Index.dat File
[ ] Delete Cookies Index.dat Files
The userguide mentions cookies in relation to the index.dat but dosent explain 'what to expect' when cleaning these files.

I am going to try your suggestion when I fire up the old PIII

Currently when you check the box 'Delete Index.dat Files' it includes the index.dat's located in the 2 cookie folders. Thats why its plural. I was suggesting to have
Delete Index.dat (for the file located in Content.IE5) and a separate Delete Index.dat (for the 2 cookie folders). The cookies checkbox deletes the actual cookies and not the index.dat files located in the cookies folder.
Edit: Basically if your going to keep/exclude cookies you have to either make the file exclusions for the index files in the cookies folder or uncheck delete index.dat files altogether.

Hello guys,
Disk4mat, from my experience with WinXP Pro SP3, I think it either a Vista/CCleaner thing or a Vista/CCleaner/IE8 thing because I am never shown the index.dat for the "Cookies" file to be deleted nor is it deleted as far as I can determine. My "Cookies to keep" are always left in my "Cookies" file along with the index.dat file and a desktop.ini file. I always have Delete index.dat under Internet Explorer ticked.
Just some more info to be used by all. P.S. I always have "Cookies" ticked also.

P.S. Looks like you have a definite work-around for now though, until they come up with a fix.
I just broke out a drive image when I had IE7 (from a clean OS install) and both cookie folders and files are present. So its not limited to IE8 but it so far seems limited to Vista.
