Welcome to 2010! At Piriform, we've been working on new products and new releases (even through the holiday season). CCleaner v2.28 is the first release for the year, and it's packed with new Windows 7 features, more application support, better performance, and more customization for power users.
Full change log:

I have Google Chrome installed as Chromium in a custom directory and until now I had to delete the history and so manually, how can it be configured so that CCleaner recognizes it? I haven't seen any place where to select custom locations and don't really know what to enter for Chromium.
Also, Corel released PaintShop Photo Pro X3 (v13.00) recently; is it a mistake where it says Paint Shop Pro 12?
I have just updated to Windows 7 and CC Cleaner was the first program that I installed (you can guess that I like it). So far I only have one annoying thing that I can't fix. Every time I turn on the computer it puts up a text box to the effect that - User account control asks "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes . . . "
I'm trying to find a way to make Windows 7 recognize CCleaner and let it run without this interruption. Any suggestions?
That's UAC - if you went from XP to 7, it's been there forever - you'll have to disable UAC in the Control Panel - unless there's something I'm not aware of.

Thanks for the suggestion. I moved from 2000 straight to 7. I was trying to find a way to do this without disabling UAC as I would like to retain the benefits.
I notice on FileHippo is says langauges en-US, es-ES, ja-JP, pl-PL which presume that means English, Spanish, Japanese and Polish. CC includeds 40 other languages. Who gives this info to FileHippo?
Degraggler and Recuva both show en-US only but they both support the 40 other languages.
Excellent program, thanks! Here of late, I have had a problem with Ccleaner opening with only fragments of the fully maximized desktop parts in place. I usually have to reboot for this to clear up. The program itself (and all my other programs) work fine, but the partial fragmenting of Ccleaner does at times prevent parts from working as they should. If anyone knows how to heal this difficulty I will appreciate the help. (I have an HP Pavilion a1050y desktop running XP Home sp3, with IE8 and Norton 360. Broadband cable.) I really do appreciate Piriform's Ccleaner. It has worked very well for me for a long time. No problems until this.
That sounds very strange, and I'm not sure I can actually picture what's happening with CCleaner.
Have you tried reinstalling CCleaner? Or maybe a complete uninstall and fresh install.
Before doing so, you could select "Save all settings to INI file" in "Options\Advanced", and copy the ccleaner.ini from the Program Files folder to a safe location, do the fresh install and copy the INI file back to restore your settings.
If this doesn't help, a screenshot of this partial fragmenting would help.
