CCleaner won't empty recycle bin when running 98lite micro

CCleaner for Windows
1

Posted the following a few days ago in the bug reporting forum, got no response, and started wondering if it should be posted here instead:

I receive the following message when I run CCleaner:

Error emptying recycle bin.

453: Can't find DLL entry point SHQueryRecycleBinA in shell32.dll.

I am running 98lite micro with the Windows95 shell32.dll. 98lite keeps the Windows98 shell32.dll, renamed shell32.W98, and uses it for some purposes. Is CCleaner normally unable to access the recycle bin when the Windows95 shell32 is used? If so, is there a way I can tell it to use the W98 version saved as shell32.W98? Or is my copy of the Windows95 shell32.dll corrupted? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Floyd Pickering

Thanks.

I don't know if this is an answer to your query-but the fact is that Win95 and Win98 have ended their life cycles according to Microsoft. This makes them orphans of a sort. Thus, most programmers are creating things for Windows XP or later at this point. You might want to send an E-mail to the author about this.

NOTE 98lite is not an official windows product but Win98 reconfigured/extra code removed to be better, faster etc.

This in itself could be causing the problems.

Last I checked CCleaner (recient version not latest) works correctly in Windows 98/98SE and I remember having small troubles in Win 95b.

You cant expect programmers to make their program compatible with a nonstandard/hackedabout version of windows.

Try contacting litepc.com support for questions about changing to/using the 98 shell backup.
