I have two questions if anyone can help or advise.
I have Vista and the latest versions of CCleaner and Chrome. After I have used CC at the end af the day, I note that cookies (the ones I have elected to keep in CC) are there and other flash cookies that I do not want. The only way to clear these cookies is manually via the Chrome settings.
I read an article the other day about this which gave instructions about pitting the Folders of Macromedia Flash Player/Shared Ojjects etc and Macromedia Flash Player/Macromedia.com etc into the 'Options - Include' page and the File of Macromedia/Flasg Player/Macromedia.com/Support/Flashplayer/Sys etc into the 'Exclude' in options.
In addition, you check the 'custom files and folders' in the advanced section on the main page.
I carried out a clean and found that the cookies in Chrome (including Flash cookies) were all still there!
In the instructions for placing the files and folders in the Include/Exclude, at the bottom it gives you the option to leave it as 'Files Only' - or a drop down menue offers 'Include files and subfolders' and 'Include files and subfolders and the folder itself'
When I cleaned with CC I left it as default on 'Include files only'
Would anyone know if I would cause problems if I selected any of the other two options to try and clear the flash cookies?
Apologies for long winded question - cannot find the answer anywhere at all.
My quick second question (honest) is should the box 'temp files* under Saved Passwords in Chrome be checked or not?
First make sure that Chrome is fully closed down, this alone has caused people some problem with cleaning it. To find this out look in Task Manager to make sure there's no Chrome background programs still running.
Hi Andavari, yes I checked - and kept Task Manager open as I opened CCleaner. It showed up in the list and I closed CCleaner and it cleared from Task Manager with nothing else showing open from CCleaner. I have since done anothe clean and cookies etc still remain.
Would it be safe to include the files/sub-folders/folder itself' option in 'Include' as I asked? Nothing else seems to work at all.
I'm pretty sure cookies is the last one of those, note that cookie manager may not detect these and thus if there are ones you want to keep manually exclude them after analysis.
so if i have to add folders manually ... how do I know I added all of them? I don't want some sneaky website planting cookie and not even know about it.
