There's a directory, where QuickTime player stores the remote movies which have been played. In the application cleaner settings, there's a Multimedia>QuickTime section, which I always had checked, but this option obviously doesn't include the directory I'm about to mention (or QT itself has changed the location in time). The path on my computer is:
I've stumbled upon this a while ago, and always forgot to post this for you So now I'm doing it. Once, I've gained GIGS of space when I've deleted those temp files, so I thought it might be worthy to include in CCleaner.
Well it might be, but I just ran the latest CCleaner with the Quicktime Player Cache cleanup checked, it didn't delete those files. The problem might be that they are (as I noted in the initial post) in the LocalLow AppData directory, not Local. I'm not really sure what the difference is between those two dirs, but the point is, the current CCleaner doesn't clean those QT tempfiles.
It cleans those files OK in XP, but you're talking about Vista I'm guessing with the "LocalLow" mention.
I don't have Vista to confirm, but the devs do read these posts and I'm sure they'll take note of your observations. Maybe for now you could clean those locations with CCleaners "Include" feature.
sadly there is no universal local low variable (seems pretty dumb to me to have one for local and one for roaming but not for low) so for vista and 7 users i present a stop gap until piriform enables it.
Please place this into you winapp2.ini
REMOVED and replaced below
Code is tested and Verified working
EDIT: Piriform has now provided us with a locallow variable. Please see my post below with the Amended Quicktime of vista/7
Blogs are always a main source of getting accurate information and provide you the handy results.you can get instant and reliable information which surely helps you in any field of your concern.your blogs fulfill these requirement and I really appreciate it.keep it up doing good work. i will come back to see more in future as well.best regards
LocalLow is for apps with a low integrity level. For example, IE creates its tabs (but not the main IE process) in a low integrity level - same for ActiveX controls. So if you use QuickTime in IE, it will save its cache in the LocalLow folder
(A low integrity level means the process will only be able to interact with other low integrity files and processes)
Now that Piriform has provided us with the needed variable for the Local Low directory I will provide a new version of Quicktime for Vista/Win7 (and one that'll only show cache if you have Vista/Win7)
[*Quicktime Player for vista and 7 users]
ID=2035
LangSecRef=3023
Detectfile=%locallowappdata%\Apple Computer\quicktime
Default=True
FileKey1=%localappdata%\Apple Computer\QuickTime|QTPlayerSession.xml
Winapp2.ini tested and confirmed
EDIT: fixed due to CCleaner 2.33. see below
EDIT2: removed redundant items. Please for windows Vista/7 Be sure to place a check in both this and the inbuilt Quicktime entries, for full cleaning
With the release of 2.33 the Quicktime cache is now properly cleaned in windows 7 and vista. However QTPlayerSession.xml file is still not identified correctly and thus I have edited the above post to remove cache but to keep the proper QTPlayerSession.xml clean-up for vista/win7
