I currently have ccleaner set to run when the computer starts which essentially does "ccleaner64 /auto".
However, while cleaning it will show a dialog box that says it is deleting the browsing history. How can I hide this dialog completely, and simply have ccleaner clean silenty?

Sorry krozer, this time your read this is not valid.
Poster's already using /auto
@chip44 the reason this dialog happens is due to window's API for vacumming the index files (as opposed to marking them for deletion at next reboot, as ccleaner used to do.
What Ccleaner does not (vacumming) is safer for the computer and causes fewer issue in Internet Explorer
Are you saying that this is related to the API for the deletion of these files for Internet Explorer?
Which checkbox option is causing this box to appear? Is it the [x] "Temporary Internet Files" for Internet Explorer?
If this is the culprit, then can you please tell me which folder(s) are being erased? Perhaps the best option is to add these folder(s) to the Settings/Include to be deleted.
The two check boxes that trigger the API to show a dialog window are:
Internet Explorer
[x] Autocomplete Form History
[x] Saved Passwords
If these are unchecked, then it is 100% silent. However, I still want to make sure these get deleted. What directories/files are being erased for these?
Run CCleaner and check only one box and analyze.
I think you can double click on the result and it should then show exact path for each.
Repeat for the other box.
You can right click on any option, or on the header (i.e. Internet Explorer) and select Analyse to see what will be being cleaned. However if there's nothing to clean the path won't be shown.
Chip44's two options are the only two in IE that I don't have checked, and running Analyse against them produces nothing. Yet I'm sure there will be something deleted if I run them (which I'm not going to do).

Analyze produces nothing for me as well. I tried on two separate computers with no luck.
Are those two places not encrypted by Windows in the registry and perhaps this is why they show nothing even though they do delete something?
(totally wild guess)

Found this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3023561/where-does-internet-explorer-store-saved-passwords
IE stores passwords in two different locations based on the password type:?Http-Auth: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Credentials, in encrypted files
?Form-based: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2, encrypted with the url
From a very good page on NirSoft.com:
Starting from version 7.0 of Internet Explorer, Microsoft completely changed the way that passwords are saved. In previous versions (4.0 - 6.0), all passwords were saved in a special location in the Registry known as the "Protected Storage". In version 7.0 of Internet Explorer, passwords are saved in different locations, depending on the type of password. Each type of passwords has some limitations in password recovery:?
AutoComplete Passwords: These passwords are saved in the following location in the Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2 The passwords are encrypted with the URL of the Web sites that asked for the passwords, and thus they can only be recovered if the URLs are stored in the history file. If you clear the history file, IE PassView won't be able to recover the passwords until you visit again the Web sites that asked for the passwords. Alternatively, you can add a list of URLs of Web sites that requires user name/password into the Web sites file (see below).
?
HTTP Authentication Passwords: These passwords are stored in the Credentials file under Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials, together with login passwords of LAN computers and other passwords. Due to security limitations, IE PassView can recover these passwords only if you have administrator rights.
CCleaner shows neither Registry Keys, nor removed vaccumed areas, in analysis and results. The boxes are the only way to clear these areas.
