nathan Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hi everyone, Today I upgraded to CCleaner from Total Privacy 5. After months of dealing with the various bugs/issues with Total Privacy, all I can say is "wow!" The bugs in Total Privacy are so numerous it makes it nearly impossible to use. CCleaner is 100% better. I'm definitely going to donate generously to help keep this wonderful program going! I'm just angry I didn't find it sooner... ;p I just have one question. When running it from the command prompt using /AUTO should the GUI appear or does it clean silently? I made a .bat file in the CCleaner folder with one line of code; "CCleaner.exe /AUTO". I made it a scheduled task to run after 5 minutes of idle time. The command prompt appears and executes it but no GUI appears, is it supposed to work like this? And one suggestion. I think the built-in ability to make a scheduled task to auto-clean would be excellent. Some people aren't knowledgeable enough to figre out how to make a scheduled task, I think it would greatly help out a lot of users. The main reason I used Total Privacy was because it had so many cleaning options + the ability to run as a scheduled task, although the bugs I experienced in Total Privacy seemed to stem from that ability. Thanks a bunch, Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi Nathan and welcome to the forum. I hope you don't regard this as patronising, it certainly isn't intended as such. Have a read of the Beginner's guide. Come back again after that if you're unsure on any issues. It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine. P. G.

Most of it is self-explanatory. One question though; in the batch file should I put quotes around CCleaner.exe /AUTO? The script itself is in the CCleaner directory and it seems to be running fine, but I just want to be sure. Thanks! Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Nathan Since the batch file is in the same folder as CCleaner.exe no you don't need the quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
