Willy2 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Downloaded CC v4.00. Tried the registry cleaner. Now it finds more obsolete registry entries. But the first time CC wanted to backup the deleted registry items, it offered to store them in the "C:\Windows\Prefetch" subfolder. I am not quite sure, but I consider this to be a bug. Because it should offer (by default) to put the backup in the folder in which CC was installed. And no, I didn't store/save any info in that "prefetch" folder in the last say 20 days.

Winapp2.ini Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I don't normally run the registry cleaner, but I just did and it opened the save prompt in the My Documents folder, as expected. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted March 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2013 At some point you may have accidentally saved there...and by some point i mean the last reg you saved/tried to save. check your settings (ini or registry) you'll find BackupDir it stores the last location used/browsed to by ccleaner 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.

Winapp2.ini Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I checked my INI and didn't see anything. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I checked my INI and didn't see anything. Me neither - BUT there is probably a very good reason. I have always accepted the default path. The probability is that when a non-default path is stipulated then this will be written to the INI file for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trium Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 by me it was the "my documents folder" default path i do not have make a registry backup in the past whatever Versions of CCleaner Cloud; Introduction Ccleaner Cloud; Ccleaner-->System-Requirements; Ccleaner FAQ´s; Ccleaner builds; Scheduling Ccleaner Free Es ist möglich, keine Fehler zu machen und dennoch zu verlieren.

Willy, CCleaner has always saved the registry backups to the last folder it used, until you cause it to save them somewhere else. I just now did that a couple of times here with the latest version. It still works that way. I have no ini file for CCleaner, so I guess it "remembers" the last location by way of a registry change. Not sure of that, just know it does remember. I never use the default path. Nothing wrong with doing that, I just want to be able to tell which is which without opening them. Instead I make a custom folder for each project. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

No need to guess - Nergal just told you ... check your settings (ini or registry) you'll find BackupDir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted March 29, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 29, 2013 It would look similar to this in the .ini file (well that's where I saved them at least, much easier to find there): BackupDir=C:\Program Files\CCleaner\Undo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
