CCleaner and Cookies

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
41
My cookies are in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Cookies\index.dat which I will Exclude and try a reboot.

Yippee! Success!

I added the cookies index.dat file into the Exclude area and I did not have to log back in here after a CCleaner run and a reboot.

I'll be watching for the symptom to occur after a Power off then Power on cycle.

Why the fancy fenaglin in IE8 beta2?

Ok then my settings ticked boxes or what ever are exactly the same at home Win98SE and work WinXP SP2 apart from I don't delete recent documents at work. I delete Index.dat everytime but when it deletes at home it creates a file Wininit.bak in the Windows folder that says

[rename]

NUL=C:\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\CONTENT.IE5\INDEX.DAT

NUL=C:\WINDOWS\COOKIES\INDEX.DAT

NUL=C:\WINDOWS\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\INDEX.DAT

NUL=C:\WINDOWS\HISTORY\HISTORY.IE5\DESKTOP.INI

Now this problem as only occured once at home and once at work and I've never had the problem again. So is it just a one off glitch? ;)

This Cookies index.dat file stuff is all new info to me. Nothing ever affects my "Cookies" folder index.dat file.

This WinXP Pro SP3. I am using IE7 and not having the IE8 Beta 2 problem that YoKenny and the others are having. I have a feeling IE8 Beta2 is changing something that causes CCleaner to wipe the "Cookies" iindex.dat file or in other words "clean" the whole "Cookie" folder.

Keith, as far as I can tell, the one off glitch is that one day you ran CCleaner on both machines without a CCleaner.ini file in the CCleaner folder. It would also have been a day that you uninstalled the prior version. That is the only way I can recreate it.

First of Davey I don't use the ini option. Sorry I used it once to see what was in the file. Saved it to a floppy then remove the ini option. Secondly I've never uninstalled any CCleaner version before I put the newer version in. If you do you loose all you registry settings and cookie list. ;)

Hi,

I'm using Windows XP SP3, IE7, and CCleaner 2.11.636. I upgraded CCleaner, and it doesn't appear to keep any of the cookies I ask it to keep. For instance, I ask it to keep my Yahoo, my Verizon, and a few other cookies that I keep on a regular basis. While it's not the end of the world, it's definitely frustrating. Where should I look to fix this, and what other information might someone need to help me?

Thanks!

Hello Chip Stroll,

Welcome to the Forums. :D

Are you looking into your "Cookies" folder, immediately after running the Clean.

Any other browsers or add-ons that may have options set to clean these areas ?

Do you actually see these cookies to be deleted in the Analysis listing ?

Resurrecting this old topic as I was having a problem of having to log in again after reboot.

IE8 cookies are in C:\Documents and Settings\{User ID}\Cookies\index.dat and needs to be excluded.

Is there a way to add the exclude index.dat in cookies folder into the FAQ or for the programmers to remove it from index.dats check mark?

I mean if YoKenny got caught up, what hope is there for n00bs?

That's why we all help here.

By the way, I can not do the same procedure on my Vista system as I can not get the authority to Documents and Settings Folder thus presenting another challenge. :unsure:
