Hi folks,
I am a newbie here, so please be gentle to me and to my english as well ;). I have nothing than to express a big thanks to developers for bringing CCleaner to a life. It is an absolutely amazing and safe cleaning tool. I would highlight the SAFE as I am using it more than 5 years now with all options enabled, except User Assist History and Wipe Disk (being added lately) and never been left down, regardless XP Pro formerly or Vista Business presently. I have even disabled cleaning of Windows temp folders older than 48 hours, everything works. I had to create only one exclusion for PC Translator otherwise GUI settings have gone every cleaning. I was really bored from setting up fonts, menu etc. every time I run this bit of soft. Yeah, maybe someone say it is not recommended to have all cleaning options enabled but I passed over all cleaning options and played with them a lot eventually ending with all enabled. Some members here complain that CCleaner is more conservative in cleaning but that's what I am rather highly rating. I have experienced terrible times with RegSeeker and so glad I can trust CCleaner.
Just my two cents ...
Regards,
pegas

Thx for taking me on board ;).

I have been thinking over from yesterday when I signed up what I should complain for about CCleaner but my honest conclusion is I have nothing. However I persuaded myself to find out an issue at least. Here's go ... In my above post I described I had to exclude PC Translator from cleaning. It was quite fiddly job for me to identify what files I have to exclude. I had to go through program files, temp folders etc. to pinpoint them finally. These are:
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\WDICT32.INI
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\WTRAN32.INI

I don't know if it would be feasible to implement something like an excluding feature for an application. In other words, if I would want exclude PC Translator from cleaning, I would be allowed to choose this application from a list (similar to the list of applications for uninstall purposes) and uncheck its cleaning. For those like me, not so PC-savvy, it would be really straightforward and convenient.
