I run CCleaner at Computer Start and have also configured it to Close Program after cleaning.



My question is:  Does the s'ware check for Updates AND clean the Registry in the above mode ??  I have never been advised that there is an update.



Excellent program!!!!!

Hi Sampson,
There is an option at Options > Settings > Automatically check for updates to CCleaner but I have seen it cause problems at times for a few users. Your firewall may not allow it either. It is a default when you download. I uncheck all download options except for new shortcuts. You can always check when you run it.
If you run CCleaner at start-up then it automatically closes after cleaning.As far as I know CCleaner will not check for updates if run at start-up.
Registry cleaning must be done manually and should always remain that way.
Seems to me that you have your PC setup to automatically be slow to reboot.

CCleaning is best done when no other programs are running.
If you are using WinXP you can use a job set-up by Andavari to run CCleaner and Automatically shutdown at the end of your sessions.

The actual page for it is here, that search doesn't reveal any downloads and only shows a bunch of my posts.

Thank you all for the info/advice.  I will be running the Auto Shutdown batch file from now on, and will be cleaning the Registry as advised.

Thanks again and, Cheers!!
