If I type regedit then msconfig in the run command box, then run CCleaner with the Windows Explorer (Run in Start Menu) box checked they are cleaned. If I do the same with the Windows Explorer (Run in Start Menu) box cleared they are not cleaned. I agree with DennisD. With the box cleared the items will not be cleaned and you shouldn't have any problem using the dropdown menu. Running analyze shows 0 bytes to be removed on my PC as well. I don't think its anything to be concerned about.

Welcome to the forum barnkat. If checked, clear the box for User Assist History. Cleaner > Windows > Advanced > User Assist History. Restart your computer. Right click on the start button and select properties > customize and check the number of recent programs to display then click OK > OK. Open a program like CCleaner, then check the list of recent programs in the start menu. Open another program then check the list again. Any luck?

Your welcome, and I agree.

I'm glad you were able to Revo the program to oblivion. Cool biz!

Welcome to the forum videotrax. No, you shouldn't use Hotfix Uninstaller. You can find some good info on CCleaner at the Docs site. (See the link below) If you have an icon in add and remove programs, you could try Revo Uninstaller to uninstall After Effects. You might want to join the Adobe After Effects forum for help if that doesn't work.

After you run the cleaner, what files show up in the analyze results? Are they always the same files in the same location?

Yeah, I forgot about that one. Nice pick up metalj. I like a select number of icons on my desktop to remind me to run the programs. I'm glad that you found what you were looking for. Have a look at the CCleaner guide to familiarize yourself with the program. (See link below) You can also use the search function to find information on topics that have been discussed before.

Welcome to the forum CjMcC, I don't know of any way to load CCleaner at startup like you are requesting. Instead of having CCleaner as an idle process, why not try the following. What you will end up with is an icon that you double click and your done. You will see the CC icon flashing in the system tray while its running. From the Docs: 1) Right click on your desktop icon of CCleaner and copy it. 2) Right click and paste it on your desktop. 3) Right click and rename it CCleaner Auto then hit enter. 4) Right click on the CCleaner Auto icon and choose properties. Under target add /Auto at the end then click OK. Notice the space after the quotation mark in the example below. "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /Auto This gives you the option of opening the program with the standard icon, or running it fully automated with the auto icon.

According to the docs, the option Autocomplete Form History is for text box on a form. I have that box checked in CCleaner and don't lose passwords as stated in the warning. In order for the forms Autocomplete function to work in IE, forms needs to be checked in IE Tools > Internet Options > Content > AutoComplete.

I have IE8 on Vista and XP, and can't replicate what you're describing. After running CCleaner, open IE8 and look at your history. Favorites > History > Today. The only item listed is my home page. If you're history looks the same as mine, then CCleaner is cleaning your history and recently typed URLs. And your very welcome.

Hi exterra, and welcome to the forum. When you type a URL in the address bar, I think your seeing your history plus recently typed URLs since you last ran CCleaner and your Favorites. Verify you have the History and Recently Typed URLs boxes checked in CCleaner. In IE8 look at : Tools > Internet Options > Content > AutoComplete (Click Settings) Under Address bar clear the check boxes you don't want to AutoComplete. (Click OK, OK.) I personally like my favs to AutoComplete. I hope this helps.

May you and your family enjoy much happiness and prosperity. I hope you held up better than these guys.....

I left him a pm in February myself. I too hope that all is well, and he's back in action soon.

If anyone knows anything please post it here, or pm me.

Lazy day.

Could this be the Flash Files you are seeing in the Cookies section? CCleaner v2.19.889 Improved support for Google Chrome v2. Fixed bug with IE8 cookies. Added support for Flash Cookies. Added Tool to manage System Restore Files (XP and Vista only). Added support to remove Opera Recently Typed URLs. Fixed bug which was displaying wrong Total Bytes removed. Improved exception handling. Fixed virtual function bug. Minor performance improvements.

Nice work! Revo Uninstaller is a great tool and I highly recommend it. http://www.revouninstaller.com/

The System Restore window takes time to populate on both my Vista and XP systems. Much longer on Vista vs XP.

CCleaner has detected a registry key that was not removed when you ran the uninstaller for Foxit Reader. I think it's this one: HKCU\Software\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader You could run the Registry Cleaner to see if it finds the issue. Make the backup if you remove the item. If you really know what you're doing, you could manually edit the registry. I'm not 100% sure, so be very cautious about how you proceed.

Dennis, I just tried what you suggested and it worked just fine. Pretty slick. If I may add this to your advise. The check box for save all settings to INI file needs to be checked before you can do this. Options > Advanced > Save all settings to INI file.

Welcome to the forum captain321, I too have Vista and don't have hotfix uninstallers in CCleaner > Advanced. This is normal for Vista, you can find more info by using the search feature on the forum.

No problem here with the Reg Cleaner. I always install the new version of CCleaner over the top of the old version. No need to uninstall.

Your welcome, Augeas just gave another user some sound advise. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=134739 One thing I would add is to use Erunt to backup the registry. http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ Using Erunt in Vista: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=125029 I personally have never had to restore the registry as a result of using CCleaner's Registry section. I find it to be non-aggressive compared to other cleaners.

Hi Laser, the .reg file is saved in my documents by default. Right click on the file and select merge, then answer yes.
