2L lama Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I was in my picture files today at the folder level and was surprised to see a lot of folders with the CCleaner "C" and a whisk broom over the top of them. What does that mean, that those folders need to be cleaned (I just ran CC)and what does it mean that a lot of them don't have that on it? The symbol seems to have appeared with this latest iteration of the software. I'm not new to CC, but I'm not a techie and I never change the settings. Thank you.

Moderators Nergal Posted September 5, 2010 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2010 I've never heard of anything like that, can you screen shoot it and post. sounds like maybe icon cache may have been corupted but without seeing it I can be sure. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

ishan_rulz Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I am sure the moderators will move this to the right place. Welcome to the forums! Till then, what OS are you using? For how long have you had CCleaner? Did this happen after installing a software recently? If possible can you upload a screenshot? (Prt Scrn) No problem if you can't. Simplicity is hard.

Well now I feel like a complete fool. I just went back to my picture file and all the CCleaner icons are gone. Now I wish I had done a print screen first. Forgive the post and thank you.

mr don Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Well now I feel like a complete fool. I just went back to my picture file and all the CCleaner icons are gone. Now I wish I had done a print screen first. Forgive the post and thank you. Could have been a refresh problem. Sometimes, when Windows runs low on physical ram & has to use the harddisk, it can cause problems with the auto-refresh. Log off & back on, or reboot can fix these type issues. It is possible for you to move a file & for it to remain "stuck" on the screen after you moved it when this happens. It is also possible for Windows to attribute the wrong icons to files/folders under similar conditions. This is not a CCleaner problem, but rather, a Windows problem. Thank you! Glad you "fixed" it. Hope your experience with CCleaner remains a positive one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
