ragnarok Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 OK this is my first post but concerned about privacy in office i need to have Irfanview and VLC player cleaned How can i make CCleaner do this , i am more like a newbie with CCcleaner i have version: 1.37.0456 It is very important for me to as quickly as possible get Irfanview cache/historial/temp cleaned in one word get all trace of images being seen through irfanview removed. As for VLC i need also all traces removed of all videos being watched through the program since i use VLC instead of windows media player . I hope someone can help me with this and i hope i dont have to use another program and that CCleaner can do this. Meanwhile can i just uninstall Both programm and install them again to get the Traces removed? if not then i just leave the programs there until i can clean them somehow. Hope someone understand this privacy situation and can help Thanks for a good program so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted June 5, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 5, 2007 The only way to get CCleaner to clean them would be to write winapp2 entries for them. See here: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=1110 You could uninstall them to remove the traces I guess but you would have to be sure and go through and delete all of the leftovers after the uninstaller is done.

If anyone could add Winapp entries for CCleaner of Irfanview 3.99/4 and VLC player 0.8.6a that would be great also i think many people will apreciate it since irfanview is one of the most used photo viewer while VLC is probaly the Nr.1 alternative to Windows player specially because of Driver suport.

JDPower Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 With regards to IrfanView, as far as I can see its only the MRUs (under 'File') that contain any info to be cleaned. Unfortunately I can't find where they are stored and so can't write a winapp2 entry at the mo. I'll have another look tomorrow in case I'm just being blind. You can though stop IrfanView storing this info in the options if you want. In IrfanView click Options>Properties, click the 'Misc 2' tab and from there you can untick 'Add MRUDs to file list' to stop them being stored. There is also a 'Clear' button to clear the MRUs that are already there. (Can't help with VLC player as I don't use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDPower Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 IrfanView stores them in its configuration .ini file: i_view32.ini Ah thanks Andavari, knew I must have been missing something obvious, didn't expect them to be there. A winapp2 entry won't be possible for it then will it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteshark Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Ah thanks Andavari, knew I must have been missing something obvious, didn't expect them to be there. A winapp2 entry won't be possible for it then will it. Just tried. i_view32.ini can be deleted. Irfanview recreate it automatically, but obviously every customization is lost.

Moderators Andavari Posted June 5, 2007 Moderators Share Posted June 5, 2007 A winapp2 entry won't be possible for it then will it. Probably not. About the only privacy setting which has already been mentioned in this thread that can be done via IrfanView is to disable the MRU list, other than that it will always open the last used directory, and something I've always hated save to the last saved to directory.
