McAfee Vault

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

Hello,

I may have discovered a bug with CCleaner and would like to know if anyone else has the same issue.

After I run CCleaner and its Registry sweep, I attempt to open my McAfee Vault folder located in the my documents directory. The problem is, when I go to double click it, the windows explorer program stalls out and gives me the not responding error. I'm using Vista Home Premium.

I have to force windows explorer to shut down otherwise the waiting circle icon will just spin forever stalled out. It will finally force the shutdown of my windows explorer, then clear my entire bottom taskbar line of my laptop (from Start button across to the clock) for a moment before coming back on showing the Quick Launch icons (which I normally don't show anyway - so I have to hide them again) and whatever other programs I may have had open during the forced shutdown.

When I go back into windows explorer/my documents, and open the McAfee Vault folder, it opens right up from then on. If I restart my computer, it also opens up fine. It only seems to freeze/not allow me to open the McAfee Vault the first time after I initially run a CCleaner/Registry sweep.

Any input would be great.

Thanks,

jj

please read my signature on use of the registry cleaner. did you make backups of registry entries as ccleaner suggested?

Any suggestions which CCleaner/registry check boxes to leave blank when dealing with windows explorer then? One reason why I use this program is clear out as many program settings/caches/etc as possible when using it. I would hate to not to be able to clear out windows explorer settings based on this.

Registry Section: > Yes only clean indviual checks at a time and read every single entry in the analyze list before pressing clean. ONLY clean items you know for a fact have are no longer needed (i.e programs you've uninstalled, startup entries that aren't needed.

Cleaner section > I won't/can't speak on the macfee end of it (what might be deleted via that for the the program to break like that) until I am sure that it is not the registry section is not the cuplrit. . . .because 95% sure it is at this point in the information given.
