I think it will be great to add Auto Clean option for CCleaner..
Will automatically scan and clean all files we selected and also registry in a scheduled time :)

I think there's a way to do file cleaning with task scheduler, registry cleaning is not considered safe and probably will never be an automatic process.

yes that is correct, the proper way to do this is create a task that runs ccleaner with the switch /auto
ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION
DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

yes and they read and consider all viable suggestions, but rarely (read NEVER) comment on suggestions; either they add it or they don't.

Auto-Clean option after browser shutdown would be nice.
Thanks

Super nasty - not nice.
That would probably waste processor power with services constantly monitoring browsers to detect closure and launch clean.
That also might initiate a clean when the user is launching a new instance of a different browser.

The Development Team actually disagrees with Alan, and monitor is a feature that exists in the Pro version
