hi ,

this might be already asked but would it be possible that CCleaner performs its cleaning task according to a scheduled time during a session , not only at computer startup ?

eg twice , three times a day......



thanks and best regards ,

pierre

As did I; but that would be an efficient temporary resolution, correct?

anyway... just curious here... why CCleaner startup manager does not allow enabling of a disabled entry...

[DjLizard]

Disabled entries get renamed in the registry (usually).. but some startup managing programs disable entries in different ways. The only key that is for sure is Run-, which is created by MSCONFIG... any other program that can disable entries could name it something else. So, MrG could only feasibly add support for MSCONFIG's disabled entries.

[agumon]

you mean that registry entries are rename when disable...?

[DjLizard]

Yeah.

This is one of the keys MSCONFIG can see and manipulate:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

When you disable an entry using MSCONFIG, it moves it to here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run-

Other programs that manipulate startup items could move it to a different place, so it's impossible to be able to support all startup manipulation programs.

Back to the top of this thread... good question
I believe Pierre31 was looking for a way to automatically run the scheduled task without user intervention, plus display the progress then exit when complete. Such as with Window Washer's autowash.

Scheduling a task only brings up the main start window which requires user intervention. Some will simply exit the program.

Using the /auto parameter on the program executible runs it completely silently, but you cannot see the progress.

I'd be interested to know if anyone knows of another option.

[DjLizard]

MrG has to make one.
