event sounds

CCleaner for Windows
1

I've been using CCleaner for a long time, marvellous program in my opinion. There is one thing I lack, though.

I usually use the "Run CCleaner" function from the Recycle Bin menu, and I always run CCleaner prior to defragmenting the hard drive. The function I lack is event sounds. I have a hard time knowing when CCleaner has finished cleaning, so I always have to look at the hard drive activity led to find that out.

It would be easier to know when you can shut down windows or start defragmenting (for example) if CCleaner plays a sound when it's finished cleaning, I sometimes have several hundreds of megs of temp files, so CCleaner runs for quite a while.

Could it be possible to add such a feature to CCleaner?

what you could do is to run ccleaner and defrag in a batch file

this way you don't have to wait till ccleaner has done cleaning and start the defrag

sorta like this:

start /wait "%ProgramFiles%\ccleaner\ccleaner.exe" /AUTOdefrag c: -f

edit: thx N12TurboZ for the /wait i forgot :)

put "start /wait" before the ccleaner line.

start /wait "%ProgramFiles%\ccleaner\ccleaner.exe" /AUTO

That would otherwise be a good idea, but I also would like to know when CCleaner is done before i shut down windows. That's the reason for my suggestion of event sounds. I forgot to mention that, sorry. I often run CCleaner prior to shutting down the computer. I don't want to accidentally interrupt the cleaning process by shutting down the computer. If I hear a sound when the cleaning is done, it feels more comfortable to shut down windows and the file system does not risk becoming corrupted.

again a .bat script :)

start /wait "%ProgramFiles%\ccleaner\ccleaner.exe" /AUTOshutdown -s

Gee, thanks! I don't know much about making .bat:s for windows nt-systems. I didn't know shutting down can be done with a batch command. Great! That solves the problem!

start /wait "%ProgramFiles%\ccleaner\ccleaner.exe" /AUTOshutdown -s
