Glad you got back the space that you needed Torgny. This is to much space consumed by restore points for any size HD. If you haven't already, you might want to change the setting on system restore to use less space. For anyone who needs the space, this is a good space saving tip. It's up to you how much Windows uses. Right click on my computer -> properties -> system restore -> slide bar to the desired space then click OK.

Try running Chkdsk with both boxes checked.

Hi teachmoore, and welcome to the forum. I just downloaded the file with the Yahoo toolbar, and the last checkbox would allow me to choose not to install it. Since you don't want the toolbar try the slim build, you can find it here.

Try using Windows Disk Cleanup to refresh the free space.

Installation date and size are not available on any OS before Vista. I remember someone stating this, but I don't know why they're not available.

Hi cheffie9, Open Internet Explorer and delete history then close IE and run CCleaner.

Have you been able to use CCleaner successfully and this is a new problem? Or, this is the first time you've used it on this system. Try deleting history from within Internet Explorer then run CCleaner again.

Hi cheffie9, and welcome to the forum. That happened on my nieces Vista laptop and the computer froze. I think she was using CCleaner version 2.261050. When I updated to the latest version the problem was corrected. Maybe a coincidence, or there was a conflict with something. If your not using the latest version 2.28.1091, you can download it here.

One more for you to check out is virscan.

No problem.

Nic did right click -> merge and it opened in notepad. It's safe to say that the file is not associated with the registry editor. After confirming that it is in fact a .reg file, it must be re-associated with the registry editor. Was I not clear in my post or am I missing something.

Hi, Hover over the CCleaner backup file it should be type: Registration Entries. If not, please post back what type of file it is. If so, right click on the file and go to "Open With" and choose Registry Editer. You can select "Choose Program" and select Registry Editer then check the box "Always use this program to open this kind of file", click ok.

Your welcome!

Hello Drn363, and welcome. I think you will find your answer here. I use option 2 and only keep the cookies I need. If you use option 1, you may want to also clear the box for Adobe Flash Player. (Flash Cookies) Cleaner -> Applications -> Multimedia -> Adobe Flash Player The link below is a good source to familiarize yourself with CCleaner's functions. I hope you feel at home here with your new family.

I remember someone stating that it's only available on Vista and Windows 7.

Hi burlak89, and welcome to the forum. The following is available in CCleaner's Uninstall Tool for Vista and Windows 7. I don't know why it's not available for XP and before.

Hi oaker47, and welcome to the forum. Right click on each section like "Internet Explorer" and select Restore default state. This can be done on both Cleaner -> Windows and Applications tabs. The link below is a good place to explore all of CCleaners functions.

Hi Neilus, and welcome to the forum. CCleaner doesn't have the function to bring up a small window of information on each program in the list with details on whether it was safe to disable the program or was vital to your system. Any chance it was a different program?

Hi Berny, Options -> Settings -> Wipe Free Space drives. (Select drives) Cleaner -> Advanced -> Right click on "Wipe Free Space" and select clean.

Hi spring, and welcome to the forum. I believe you would want to clear the box for one of these two. Cleaner -> Windows -> Windows Explorer -> Recent Documents Cleaner -> Applications -> Applications -> Office 2003

Hi Smilie face, and welcome to the forum. After logging in at sites like your email, close your browser. Open CCleaner and select the cookies you want to keep for the site. Options -> Cookies-> Cookies to Delete (Move to -> ) Cookies to Keep.

Thanks Alan, So, the "Only delete files in Windows Temp Folder older than 24 hours" is in place for the instances that Windows will delete a file even if its in use. The box is there for the times you need to empty the folder for what ever reason. I'm going to leave the box checked just in case a program is using a file.

Thats a good question Nergal, and I wonder if you're correct? Why does CCleaner have the option "Only delete files in Windows Temp Folder older than 24 hours"? If a file was in use, wouldn't it be locked by Windows and not deleted?

Should I keep the box checked for "Only delete files in Windows Temp Folder older than 24 hours"? I understand that... Isn't it true that this is a place that Malware likes to hide? Any thoughts?

This is from a program that finds empty folders.
