Ishi Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hello, long time been away from this forum, by the way. I would like to suggest an added feature under the "Tools" section about a driver cleaner for USB drives. I use a netbook at work and its very common for people to plug their USB flashdrives into my netbook and from time to time, I may have to get rid off those removable device drivers and have their Registry keys taken away to remove leftover traces as well. Would be a nice tool for intermediate to advanced users though that's why it should be on the Tools section and have warning messages by default. Thanks. 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.

nodles Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Probably not gonna happen, but you could try this for removing "ghosting"/unplugged devices: http://ghostbuster.codeplex.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 I saw on some website about a portable application that deletes Registry keys left by USB drives just now and I'm aware of driver cleaners so it would have been better if CCleaner had these two additional features though Thanks for the suggestion though.

Super Fast Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 This would be cool to have. Not sure how hard it would be to implement, but it would definitely help erase a few more tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Yeah, I feel there is a need to get rid of orphaned removable device drivers and the Registry keys related to those. And maybe even a removal tool for orphaned drivers of disconnected Bluetooth devices. Thanks for the welcome, Dennis. I love computer maintenance tasks.

Super Fast Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 It may seem unimportant to others, but I have a netbook I use a lot as well. Would be great to help keep the list of things from growing over time, & getting very long. I have at least 6 flash drives I plug in sometimes, a drive partitioned into 3 partitions (Personal/Programs/Users) & other drives I connect externally to scan. I second your idea.

Ishi Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 The less orphaned/useless things left in my machine, the less I have to worry about. Features like this would be useful to those of us who connect a lot of removable stuff into our machines. I love computer maintenance tasks.

Ishi Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks for the suggestion, me1900. I just think that additional abilities like those should be included with CCleaner for the use of intermediate to advanced users. I love computer maintenance tasks.
