Moderators Andavari Posted April 3, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2009 Verify that your CCleaner shortcut parameters look exactly like this, without any commands after it: "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" Screenshot (click to enlarge): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DennisD Posted April 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi Janina. Can I confirm as to whether CCleaner is using "Auto Shutdown", as in running and then closing down your computer, or is it just CCleaner itself closing itself down after every run? Reading your first post, and then your reply to Andavari, I'm guessing it could be the second. To be honest, after System Restoring etc, it's a puzzle as to why this setting hasn't disappeared. Although this shouldn't be a solution, taking into account your efforts to fix things, have a look in CCleaners Program Files folder and see if there's a "ccleaner.ini" file there. If so, delete it. If you haven't previously checked the "Save all settings to INI file" box, then there shouldn't be one, but check it out just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodo-Bird Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 THANK YOU - in reply - have put my responses after your comments Hi Janina. Can I confirm as to whether CCleaner is using "Auto Shutdown", as in running and then closing down your computer, or is it just CCleaner itself closing itself down after every run? Reading your first post, and then your reply to Andavari, I'm guessing it could be the second.- YES there is no AUTOSHUTDOWN in the properties section To be honest, after System Restoring etc, it's a puzzle as to why this setting hasn't disappeared. I AGREE, Don't understand Although this shouldn't be a solution, taking into account your efforts to fix things, have a look in CCleaners Program Files folder and see if there's a "ccleaner.ini" file there. NO- no ini file If so, delete it. If you haven't previously checked the "Save all settings to INI file" box, then there shouldn't be one, but check it out just in case. SO am back at problem. DON'T know what happened. Had same problem on Laptop when upgraded to V218 but when I did restore on Laptop fixed problem. Didn't work on DTop unfortuntely. Does this mean a clean install or are there file in regedit I can delete to fix problem? Thanks again for your reply, though not a 'serious' problem very frustrating Regards Janina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted April 17, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2009 Janina, you don't say if you've had a look in CCleaners Program Files folder for a "ccleaner.ini" file. C:\Program Files\CCleaner. This is where that setting is kept if you have one. Short of that I have no idea why it keeps reappearing for you. I do know there was a similar poster quite some time back with the same or a similar problem. If I can hunt out that post there may be an answer there, although I have a feeling that it wasn't resolved that time either. I'll have a look for it.
