thoste Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I found only an option "Run CCleaner when the computer starts" but NOT "...exits" Hey, thats a very strong security hole. If I forget to perform CCleaner manually all entries and tracks leave on my computer hard disc. Wouldn't it be much more useful to offer an option to run CCleaner AUTOMATICALLY when a shutdown is performed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 There's no mechanism in Windows (except with currently running services) to execute code on the way out.

thoste Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 This is NOT true. Setup a logoff script (at least under Win2000/WinXP) as follows: 1.) In "run" enter gpedit.msc 2.) goto LocalComputerPolicy->User Configuration->WindowsSettings->Scripts (Logon/Logoff) 3.) Click on the right pane on logoff and add a script e.g. mylogoffscript.bat This script is executed at every logoff However this is very,very unconvenient but it shows that it is possible in general Why not including this feature in CCleaner? Alternatively: Ok, as you said, implement and start CCleaner as a service and execute it at shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Make a batch file that runs CCleaner and then shuts your computer down. Put it on your desktop or make it a shortcut for your desktop. Additionally; it is not a security hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
