C++ ;)
It is said in the version history of CCleaner, they recreated it entirely using C++.

Yes version 1.xx.xxx were made using Visual Basic 6.0 and versions 2.xx.xxx are made with C++.

Why do you ask are you trying to decompile it?

Resource Hacker won't decompile it will only extract graphics from it. If you use Resource Hacker on Cards.dll it will extract all the cards from the deck. ;)

That's an interesting observation Corona.

Pie = 3.14159265

Which is the amount ccleaner removed on last run. :)

I don't want to decompile it, just curious

Not pi, pie. But yes, it could be made from pi.
I used to rip the gourds out of XP derivatives with CC and that was fun. But now with my fresher re-format I let sleeping dogs lie. I just choose to eliminate recently installed game regs. And things work a lot smoother that way so it must be working.
