thefly Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 When CCleaner first added the ability to delete Firefox Session information and after losing all my tabs I have unticked this feature. Now in Version 3.03 I find that this has again been ticked without my knowledge and I have again lost my tab sessions. Why is it that this is being allowed to happen even when people had previously complained about this being made a default setting. I use CCleaner to rid my system of unnecessary junk files that clog up my system not to hide or delete my browsing history. I'm sure that i am not the only person who uses it for that purpose. Now I will have to religiously watch for this every time I upgrade to a newer version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Use the "Save settings to .ini file" feature. They are more likely to be preserved that way. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefly Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Thanks for that suggestion. I'll try that but it was the newer version installation that seems to have overridden the previous setting. I am not the only person that this seems to have happened to. I have Firefox Version 3.6.13.00 and OS is Win XP Sp3 and CCleaner was Version 3.03.1366. I'll just have to check each time a new version comes out.

Moderators Nergal Posted February 6, 2011 Moderators Share Posted February 6, 2011 You shouldn't HAVE to check every upgrade, I believe that the sessions section was changed this upgrade (maybe I am not correct). However that said I check all my entries everytime I open a new version ccleaner (mostly to make sure that nothing new is being removed, or not removed, that I don't want it to be). 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.

thefly Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Thanks to Nergal and TheWebAtom for their advice. To TheWebAtom first your suggestion of changing to Save setting to .ini won't work on mine as there are three different logins and each is customized for each separate user. So the default of the registry is the only option and to Nergal I think that you are correct on all counts as to the setting being changed in the last version. I also agree that you shouldn't have to check each time a new Version is released but that I will have to from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
