Eldmannen Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hello I just uninstalled CCleaner to download new version and install that. Then I noticed that my settings such as which cookies to keep were gone. I think that it would be good that when I uninstall CCleaner, it ask me if I wish to keep the settings file so that when I install it again, I wont have to specify yet again which cookies to keep.

Tarun Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 If the CCleaner settings can be saved to an INI file, that would be useful. Or even a method to "Save Settings..." and choose as a registry backup or ini file. INI's are a lot safer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 29, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2005 That's one reason why I just over-install newer versions, hence the settings remain intact. It would be nice if CCleaner could export the settings to a .reg file just like WinRAR does, and if doing a clean install it could recognise that .reg file and automatically import it again just like WinRAR does.

Eldmannen Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 I dont know if I remember wrong, but I think I heard somewhere that its adviced not to install CCleaner over a current installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenknight Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I've always installed over the top of the previous version, never had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators TwistedMetal Posted October 29, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2005 I actually have a fix to that problem. You can backup your CCleaner settings with the new feature VBScript.

Tarun Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Problem with VBScripts is that they are one key source of virus transmitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
