Willy2 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 When a user ticks a box called ""Run CC when the computer starts"" then CC adds an entry to the registry. When the user runs the CC uninstall program (either from Windows or directly from the application folder) it removes a lot of CC related registry entries. That's why the user always should use the uninstaller and not simply delete the files in the application folder when the user e.g. wants to get rid of an older version of CC. However, the uninstaller doesn't remove the ""Run CC when the computer starts"" entry in the registry. Is this done on purpose or is this entry overlooked by the CC uninstaller program ?

Ishi Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 You mean CCleaner leaves behind its startup key on the Registry if you uninstalled it using the uninstaller??? I believe you have to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete CCleaner's startup entry there. Or if you have another registry cleaner installed, that can perhaps help you delete this orphaned startup key. Or maybe on Windows Vista, use Windows Defender to delete startup items. I love computer maintenance tasks. Some of my favorite programs: Wordpad -basic word processing Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.

Moderators hazelnut Posted April 20, 2010 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2010 I agree Willy, you would expect ccleaner to clean up fully after itself.

Willy2 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 This is the key which seems to be overlooked by the CC uninstaller and contains the relevant information.
