Kandi Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I used CCleaner for the first time the other day. I actually read the beginners guide which states in effect that it is suggested to leave everything in the default mode. Well I did that and now I have to reconstruct my Quicken checkbook (yea, yea...I know I should have had a a backup!!) And yes I do know that it was CCleaner as I have not run anything else nor have I downloaded anything else during that time frame. I like the idea of CCleaner but at this point there is no way that I could recommend it to anyone nor will I use it again. I'll just keep cleaning the old fashioned way!

Kandi Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 Well yea I would certainly uncheck *every* program box prior to using it again. I do think that perhaps the beginners guide should indicate that you might actually lose documents and/or your quicken checkbook. Luckily that is all I use quicken for but if I had used it for more than that I would be in a world of hurt. Franklly I'm pretty upset about losing the information.

DjLizard Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 You don't lose documents with CCleaner, that's why there's no warning. CCleaner cleans out temporary files. I hate to be blunt but every time someone swears up and down that CCleaner ruined their computer in some way, we come to find out it wasn't. I can't find a reference to Quicken in the winapp/winreg/winsys INIs, so someone will have to explain where Quicken cleaning could have come from. Unless you were keeping your database in TEMP, I have no idea how it could have been lost.
