N12TurboZ Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I've been using CCleaner for a long time, marvellous program in my opinion. There is one thing I lack, though. I usually use the "Run CCleaner" function from the Recycle Bin menu, and I always run CCleaner prior to defragmenting the hard drive. The function I lack is event sounds. I have a hard time knowing when CCleaner has finished cleaning, so I always have to look at the hard drive activity led to find that out. It would be easier to know when you can shut down windows or start defragmenting (for example) if CCleaner plays a sound when it's finished cleaning, I sometimes have several hundreds of megs of temp files, so CCleaner runs for quite a while. Could it be possible to add such a feature to CCleaner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackjack Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 what you could do is to run ccleaner and defrag in a batch file this way you don't have to wait till ccleaner has done cleaning and start the defrag sorta like this: start /wait "%ProgramFiles%\ccleaner\ccleaner.exe" /AUTOdefrag c: -f edit: thx N12TurboZ for the /wait i forgot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 put "start /wait" before the ccleaner line. start /wait "%ProgramFiles%\ccleaner\ccleaner.exe" /AUTO Click here if CCleaner Issues are re-appearing DjLizard.net DjLizard.net wiki Dial-a-fix Dial-a-fix tips DjLizard.net software support forum Do you live in Bradenton, Sarasota, Tampa, or St. Petersburg, Florida?

That's the reason for my suggestion of event sounds. I forgot to mention that, sorry. I often run CCleaner prior to shutting down the computer. I don't want to accidentally interrupt the cleaning process by shutting down the computer. If I hear a sound when the cleaning is done, it feels more comfortable to shut down windows and the file system does not risk becoming corrupted.

N12TurboZ Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Gee, thanks! I don't know much about making .bat:s for windows nt-systems. I didn't know shutting down can be done with a batch command. Great! That solves the problem! again a .bat script start /wait "%ProgramFiles%\ccleaner\ccleaner.exe" /AUTOshutdown -s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
