  1. Unlocker, linked here by Jamin, is what I used to delete the folder when Allen2007's method didn't work. Deleted the folder in pieces -- with a slow processor it took hours, and patience. :)

     

    I noticed the download size is different at File Hippo than it is at the authors site.

     

    They also offer different versions. Here's a link for the download.

     

    Watch for Toolbar and desktop shortcuts during install.

  2. Hi karlsnooks, and welcome to the forum.

     

    "Wipe Free Space" will leave your normal files intact and only wipe the free space on the drive selected.

     

    "Wipe Entire Drive" will erase all of the files on the drive selected. For safety reasons, this feature is disabled for the boot drive.

     

    Take a look at this for more info.

  3. Hi sophie,

     

    Since Hazel established that you're running as an administrator, you could try importing the .reg file.

     

    Before editing the registry in any way, I highly recommend the backup program Erunt.

     

    To import a .reg file...Start > run > regedit > file > import > browse to .reg file and highlight it then select open.

     

    This should merge the file, if not you may have a file association problem.

     

    You can find the fix here. Download the REG file association fix.

  4. Yep. I recently figured that out too. And as Andavari mentioned, with StartPage, the WOT icons appear all the time. So that feature, plus being able to save my settings via a URL, have caused me to give StartPage a try.

     

    If you set DuckDuckGo to show "All WOT + favicons (both)", the WOT icons appear all the time. Trust, caution or warning for each result respectively.

  5. I'm actually liking Starting Page a bit more, simply for the fact is WOT shows up the little safe/unsafe icons all the time versus what it shows on DuckDuckGo.

    I figured it out. There is a setting that shows the WOT rating for listings appearing in DuckDuckgo searches.

     

    This got me looking at the settings and decided I wanted to change a few. I like that you can save your settings without a cookie for both DuckDuckGo and starting page. They both will generate a URL that you can save as a favorite or set as your home page.

  6. Thanks Hazel, I've added this to my list of search engines.

     

    That's one clever duck, or in other words a wise quacker. :)

     

    A few facts about the founder.

     

    I also like the starting page, thanks to you as well Corona.

    CCleaner should be cleaning it. Are you closing IE before you run Auto/Shutdown?

     

    yes i am.

    wow. just got the notice of your reply. 2 day!

     

    Do you want anymore help with CCleaner on your Vista system?

  8. I think MSE is really meant for 64bit systems. I mean systems with 6 to 8 gigs of ram, they could almost, almost, almost handle Norton or AVG! ;)

    XP 64bit, I bet MSE would work well in that.

     

    That's funny Corona. :lol:

     

    I believe MSE is available for Windows XP (32-bit only).

     

    Vista and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit).

     

    It seems that XP is being left behind more and more.

  9. Thanks for the replies all. I haven't heard from anyone running MSE on XP so I've been hesitant to try it.

     

    Andavari, do you use Antivir 10 and if so does it still start a full system scan if realtime finds a virus?

     

    I'm a fan of version 9 and I'm willing to try 10 on my XP box if I can get some positive feedback here.

  10. spot on sir. went back to ie8 and default was set. but i thought that was covered in ccleaner. oh well.

    ty,

    next time i resurect this thread i'll be more explicit.

     

    ty all, and ty mod.

     

    CCleaner should be cleaning it. Are you closing IE before you run Auto/Shutdown?

  11. That looks like "Browsing history". What do you have enabled in IE?

     

    Tools > Internet Options > Content > AutoComplete/Settings. Make your changes then click OK.

     

    I have address bar and favorites enabled.

     

    I think what happened is when you went to IE9 this section was reset to default.

     

    Close IE before you run CCleaner.

     

    Last resort use the built in tool in IE. Tools > Internet Options > General > Browsing history/Delete. Select "Preserve Favorites Website Data" and "History" then click Delete.

  12. so this is teaching me a lesson? i get it. won't bother you all again. sorry.

     

    Hi olddog,

     

    This topic may help you.

     

    Have a look at the screen shot. Is that what your seeing?

     

    I have IE9 as well, but it doesn't list suggestion history for me like IE8.

  13. I appreciate your advice very much. I have downloaded the latest slim version to both computers. I haven't installed it yet, but I'm glad to know I can install it over the top and preserve my settings.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Sincerely, Libra

     

    Your welcome Libra,

     

    You may want to read about "Save all settings to INI file" in the documentation. Besides what it states, I keep a copy of the INI file for safe keeping.

  14. In CCleaner, check the box for Autocomplete Form History: Cleaner > Windows > Internet Explorer > Autocomplete Form History.

     

    Note: Close browser(s) before running CCleaner.

     

    If you want to turn it off in IE, clear the box for Forms: Tools > Internet Options > Content > AutoComplete/Settings > Forms, then click OK.

  15. I think I read that a new version of CCleaner was developed to work with Windows 7 SP1 (64 bit). Since I don't use the registry cleaner in CCleaner, would it be alright to continue using version 3.02.1343 or would I have problems because of SP1?

     

    Thank you.

     

    Sincerely, Libra

     

    CCleaner 3.04.1389- Added support for Windows 7 SP1.

     

    I'm not sure if you'll run into any problems using an older version.

     

    I always update to the latest version of CCleaner for support of the latest software and bug fixes..

     

    Most here on the forum would recommend that you update to the latest version.

     

    You can install it over the top of the old version and keep your settings.

     

    CCleaner's latest version can be downloaded here or here.
