[font="Comic Sans MS"]Didn't see this in any of the posts. The beginners guide advices to leave the default files set. But, I undid all of mine, now I don't know which ones to check. Anybody know how to set the default again?

Navigate to CCleaner's Folder then make a backup of CCleaner.ini then delete it while CCleaner is not running then start CCleaner and a new fresh copy will be created.

I think that that would only work if you have saved settings in the ini file - I don't have one to delete. I don't know what the defaults are, everything ticked in Applications, nothing ticked in Advanced, and most of the others ticked? Perhaps a good rule to start with is to tick all those you understand and want ticked, and leave the others alone.

Ah, I've just noticed who you are (the font is rather a giveaway).

Hi emm,
Welcome to the forums. :D
This should help you .
http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=111948

Alternatively since we don't know your set-up.
1 Uninstall CCleaner and install again.
2 Start CCleaner and toggle all the options down to and including Tick Options > Advanced and tick Save settings to INI file.
3 Copy or rename the (cc)leaner.ini file that is in C:\Program Files\CCleaner. Rename it or copy it and call
it CCleanerDefaultvers.ini or whatever.

Good luck,
:) davey

Thanks Augeas, That is the plan for now, thanks again. _kind of bright font, isn't it? I will be adjusting it as I go, and find out what suits me best.

Hi Davie, I am very happy to have joined this forum. I saved the links you gave me, to study them more closer later. For what I've seen, they are going to be very helpful. Thanks again.

Hi emm, can I welcome you to the forums also, but can I also ask you to use the standard font and colour in your posts.

If everyone followed suit this place would be unreadable.

Thanks in advance. :)

OK, I will remember that next time. It is easier this way anyway.
