Password cleaning

Recommended Posts

I have been using CCleaner for a very long time, but since MS Edge came out I have practically stopped because every time I run a clean it erases all my passwords.  For sites I care about, I have protected the cookies associated with those sites so I should not lose those passwords.  However, when I browse "Web Credential Manager" after running a clean all my stored entries are wiped.

In CCleaner configuration have the following boxes unchecked:

On the Windows tab:

Under MS Edge:

  • Cookies
  • Saved form information
  • Saved passwords

Under Internet Explorer:

  •  Cookies
  •  Autocomplete form history
  •  Saved passwords

Under Windows Explorer

  • Network passwords

Under the Applications tab:

I also use CC Enhancer and have all the options checks for Windows except:

  •  MS Edge favorites backup
  •  MS Edge favorites icons
  •  Windows PowerShell
  •  Windows Shellbags

I have a lot of other options unchecked for FF, Thunderbird, and Chrome and those seem to work properly - it is just Edge that seems to have a problem.  What am I missing?

Please remove the winapp2.ini that enhancer uses and see if it keeps removing.  Enhancer is not recognized on this forum except in the winapp2 thread (even then we request that it not be named, and I usually edit threads to say voldemort instead of enhancer).

 

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.
