The current version of ccleaner doesn't have a checklist for me to remove frequent folders from the quick access list in file explorer and yet retain the default ones such as pictures, videos etc. The frequent folders list can become quite long and I must delete them manually vs. relying on ccleaner to do it.

Thanks. Their offline uninstallers cleaner tools vs. the one that comes with the product fixed everything vs. me having to spend all day doing it by hand along with deleting everything in the registry. I came across the "sc" command I had forgotten about and it might have worked, but by then I had already run the uninstaller tools based on your weblink. Perhaps ccleaner can add the "sc" command as a right_click in the tools services area like one can do for the startup entries since one may have forgotten about it or don't know about. I.e. sc <the service name> delete

I had Acronis image software which I removed. I disabled the scheduler2 service so it wont startup. However, the current ccleaner free version doesn't allow me to remove the service or any other service even when advanced mode is checked. If this is in the registry or somewhere on the disk drive, give ccleaner the ability to remove it from the service list. I can remove acronis startup entries without problem.

First problem. I have the dropbox program installed and want to disable it from starting up using ccleaner. I've disabled anything on the various startup tabs that says dropbox; however, dropbox is getting started since windows task manager startup shows dropbox enabled. I can then disable it in windows task manager. So ccleaner has no entry for what windows sees. ccleaner entry that is one of the items disabled but is similar to the one task manager sees: No HKLM:Run Dropbox Dropbox, Inc. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe" /systemstartup But windows task manager points to the same directory and program but selecting properties doesn't show the switch like above. I can enable and disable dropbox in the task manager but it doesn't showup or change status in the ccleaner startup. So things are out of sync. Second problem I have installed is Jedit. I've disabled the only entry in ccleaner No HKLM:Run jEdit Server Contributors "C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.exe" -background -nogui --l4j-dont-wait However, windows task manager shows it enabled on startup. I can then enable disable it from starting up there. The task manager is pointing here C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.exe Third problem is, I have a batch file that logs me into a sharepoint website on startup using net use. Ccleaner doesn't show the batch file name in windows startup tab so that I can enable/disable it there. However windows task manager shows it in startup. I can enable/disable it in task manager but not in ccleaner. Not all startup programs/batch files are in the various %appdata% locations such as default or a user. In this case the batch file is in this location. C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

To add to the above. Malwarebytes adware tool and another from TSA didn't find anything either. So the ISearch registry entry may be just a fluke registry entry thats gone now.

Used Malwarebytes to quarantine the entries and the delete them. Surprised a registry clean/repair program such as auslogics couldn't completely remove its own registry entries vs. the purpose of the tool was to cleanup other peoples messes. So thats what happens when one runs multiple registry cleaner/repair tools to make up for deficiences between related tools let alone those that detect registry performance issues that when fixed, are undone by other registry tools that think that an issue exists. Other registry tools I've used awhile back are iobit.com tool that claims to find and cleanup leftover registry entries from uninstalls. Reran ccleaner file and registry cleanup. It idn't find anything. So the files and registry entries are gone. Now onto the ISearch toolbar issue since ccleaner found and removed one registry entry whereas malwarebytes didn't find anything - not even the registry entry for it. Is ISearch a leftover of some program installed in the past? I have AVAST antivir and it didn't complain either. So I'll have to find a tool to run and make sure ISearch is completely uninstalled considering the tool can change over time and maybe update itself. https://www.exterminate-it.com/malpedia/remove-isearch Another tool to install or follow the manual steps..... I've posted this issue to the malwarebytes forum and am waiting on response. Trying to track down issues such as random popup up box for windows process not responding requiring me to signout and back into to clear it or o365 outlook randomily requiring a repair. So this isn't a ccleaner issue; however, it did tell me about the registry entry whereas the antimalware and antivir programs didn't even do that.

ok. But since none of the above software RESTOR and auslogics registry cleaner are installed, I thought the purpose of CCleaners registry cleaner was to determine if the software was installed and then leave them alone (unless one uses ccleaners uninstall tool); otherwise, if registry data isn't associated with an installed program it finds it and asks to fix it - which is remove these extra entries. Not every installed program that when uninstalled removes all the registry entries it created but only some of them - which is poor software writing. I.e. CCleaner can find the unwanted program registry entry for ISearch even though no program is installed for it that I know of, and yet is is able to detect and remove the registry entry for it. For this case, malwarebytes doesn't detect the registry entry for it. From past info on ISearch it is a form of malware/spyware.

Windows 8.1 on laptop with ccleaner v6.0.7 At one time I had RESTORO installed from www.restoro.com It was removed; however, malwarebytes can find RESTORO registry settings as if they are malware. But when I run ccleaner, registry cleaner, it can't find the registry settings for RESTORO. Also auslogis registry cleaner was removed and CCleaner doesn't find all the resgistry settings to remove; but malwarebytes does find them but treats this software as malware. I've attached the registry info that malwarebytes found but ccleaner didn't find so that they may be removed from the registry CCLeaner_Registry_notfound.txt

In IE8 under the options->complete there is an autocomplete settings button. Once clicked there are various check boxes for autocomplete. However, ccleaner has only the checkbox for autocomplete forms and none of the others under address bar including the usernames & passwords, The same for firefox there is no option to clear the address bar history which would be set as favorites, address bar or nothing. These fall under options->privacy-> location bar. I can't find the equivalent under chrome although it saves address bar info and is displayed to to the user under the drop down arrow. Thus, ccleaner latest version needs a fix to remove all this history that is stored in the address bar of the varous browsers. The same probably is true for in privacy filtering too.....

for speccy v1.24.632 the timezone language title shows "Arabic (U.A.E)". This title "language" is misleading since the control panel for regional and language options calls this "Language for non-unicode programs". If one just see language and one knows they have everything set for English, then one would think there is a bug in speccy since they'd expect to see English. Moreover, I have every language setting for windows XP Home enabled, that includes all keyboards, and code pages with the option checked to make the language settings available as the "default for all user accounts" (speccy doesn't show this check box nor the code pages and keyboards i have activated). Also speccy doesn't show the last time a usb flash device was installed into the computer although it may not be plugged in currently. Speccy detects that I have internet explorer and the version # installed, but it doesn't detect alternate browsers such as firefox and chrome and their versions. Speccy doesn't detect what search engines, flashplayers and shockwave players versions I have installed (pluggins and activeX). Display all browser pluggins and their versions, and dates installed and last used.

When one repairs their network connection, it clears the NetBT, DNS cache and ARP. Make it an option to clean these using ccleaner on shutdown. Recently it was posted on other websites that elcomsoft(?) has a tool now that can recover the encryption keys from Truecyrpt by scanning the Virtural drive caches that Windows saves to disk since the encryption keys are stored in memory and are swapped to disk occasionally, and when one goes into hibernate or shtudown, memory is dumped to this windows virtual drive caches and the keys can be recovered from it. Thus, need ccleaner to clean all the virtual disk caches on hibernate or shutdown to destory the contents of this file using multiple pass overwrites to eliminate this problem.

Other alternatives is the old Everest which is now AIDA64. See http://www.aida64.com/product/aida64-extreme-edition/screen-shots CPU. - bus speed and rated bus speed is shown changing with graphing. However, the cpu core frequency and internal voltage changes with graphing aren't shown. Although the stock core/bus speed are shown. See cpuid since once can see the voltages and cpu freqs changing with loading. Fan speed - as the computer is being loaded the fan comes on/off and changes speed. The program "speedfan" can show on some systems the fan rpm speeds and as they change. Have Speccy show the fans speed changing along with a graphing. This would be useful to compare CPU temp against fan speed so one can know the relationship of when the fans turn on/off or change speed. Graphics. - show temperature of graphics chips with graphing. Network - I'm connected with a wi-fi on a compaq presario v5306us with broadcomm minipci. However, speccy tells me under the heading "wi-fi info" states it isn't enabled although the wifi is turned on and down loading. If I turn the wifi button off to stop transmitting, it still says it is not enabled. - need to show bytes received transmitted with graphing. Speccy currently does kbps, but one can't tell anything from this. The kbps isn't even in kbps received or transmitted as separate numbers and graphics. Can't detect and show devices in express port. I.e. sd micro flash chips and their size in bytes. Cant dectect devices such as usb adaptors inserted into express port. Unless this is under peripherals disk drive without the size value.

It also doesn't show the battery full time - whatever this means. This could be the estimated time to full recharge. If this is so then a better name should be used i.e. "ETA to full charge". Likewise, the other filed could be "ETA to full discharge". One can estimate this based on timestamping the 100% and when it reaches 99% charge get the system clock and timestamp that value. Using simple math one can compute the rate of discharge and estimate time remaining. Since the rate of discharge can be variable based on cpu and hardware loading one will have to recompute the estimated time remaining. see www.passmark.com batterymon program. It gives the data that speccy should, along with a graph showing discharge or charging of the battery. Speccy can do the graphing if this option was added. Moreover, the battery has an internal count of the number of recharge cycles. Usually when it reaches 300 recharges, (or about two years), the batteries need to be replaced. Thus one should be able to read the battery pack via the smbus and read this count along with other prestored date in the internal battery pack flash chip that would be of interest to the user of Speccy. Moreover, the program "speedfan", shows a "temp1" value. Their usage of this by them is that it means the ACPI temperature. That is this is the temperature of the battery pack or any of the power electronics (if it has temp probes).

Well, the other interpretation of this value is hexadecimal with the 'h' on the end to denote it as such. Hence, this could have been a mistake in displaying the data when one meant to display it as ASCII. Therefore, "1d1" could've been the hexadecimal value and the 'h' on the end marking it has hexadecimal.

System is Windows XP home with a western digital pata laptop drive. Here are the latest problem with v2.8.373. The temperature in the health tab is reported in Celsius under the "Real value" column although I selected the temp to be reported in Fahrenheit which is displayed in the temperature position to the left of this table. Thus, correct the unit-of-measure to be Fahrenheit in the "Real value" column if one selects Fahrenheit. Both temp values should match unit-of-measure wise. The other problem is the power on hours. Why does it show 1d1h and not in decimal here for 'h' hours. Unless 1d1h means "1 day" and "1 hour"??
