question about CCleanerSkipUAC


Johnny Sokko

Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

In the tools section of CCleaner, when the option to display startup entries is selected, under the scheduled tasks tab, the following entry from CCleaner is listed: CCleanerSkipUAC

 

I disabled the option to automatically check for updates, and the system monitoring options have all been disabled as well, so why is CCleanerSkipUAC listed as a scheduled talk? Why does it remain? Did I overlook one of CCleaner's active features and not disable it? Is that the reason? If yes, which one?

 

Also, what is CCleanerSkipUAC and what does it do?

 

Thanks!

Skipuac is for vista and above with mircosoft's User-Access-Control enabled

 

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.

Thank you, dvdbane and Nergal, for your help.

 

I clicked the above link and read the information, and if I understand it correctly, CCleanerSkipUAC is nothing more than entry designed to prevent the user from having to click yes to the UAC pop-up when opening CCleaner. Is that correct? Is that all it is?
