    Hotfix Uninstallers

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    Hotfix Uninstaller doesn't remove the installed updates, just the ability to uninstal them... which as they're Very Important you really don't wanna do! ;)

     

    Thank you both. Sounds like it would be all right to uninstall them since it has been a couple weeks since last updates and have had no problems, so gonna do it!

    I have never checked the Hotfix Uninstallers box before but did and Wow, I just analyzed it and had 483 MB I could clean. I didn't clean iit because I want to make sure it is all right to do so.

     

    I know someone will tell me if it is safe to clean these. I know there are tons of them in my Windows, and would be great if it were safe to clean.

     

    Windows XP S2

     

    Thanks as I know someone will answer.......

    Past Items in Taskbar

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    Thanks, it worked for her.

     

     

     

     

    Yes there is a way but for some reason not with CCleaner (i hope it will be added soon for Vista), andyway the to do it in Vista is to open regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify and delete the folowing entries in the right pane IconStreams and PastIconStreams, close regedit and start Task Manager and click on the Processes tab, now find and highlight explorer.exe and click End Process, now click File > New Task {Run...), type explorer in the Open field and click OK, now restart your system.

     

    In regedit for ease of use i have added HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify to the Favorites tab so i don't have to got looking about in the registry every time i want to delete past icons in the notification area of the taskbar.

     

    Hope this helps!

    Past Items in Taskbar

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    Thanks a bunch! I knew about the tray notification in CC but didn't want to go through the hassle., this worked great.

     

    Is there a way to do this with Vista? I am using XP S2, but my friend has been trying to find a way to do it with her Vista Home.

     

     

     

     

     

    If you're talking about the Customize Notifications icons that's been in CCleaner for a long time, it's in CCleaner here:

    Advanced > Tray Notifications Cache

     

    Note that you have to have Task Manager running to end task Explorer.exe, then to restart it. You should then restart Windows.

     

    A much easier way is to download 53. Remove Past Items From Notification Area from http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm because it will automatically end task Explorer.exe and restart it. You should then restart Windows.

    Is there some way I can clean out the Past Items in the Taskbar using CCleaner? I know the way to clean it through the registry but I am hoping there is someway I can add it to my cleaning with CCleaner. :rolleyes: Pease, hopefully if not now in a future version?

    AVG Antispyware

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools ->Services. Look in the list of services for AVG Anti Spyware Guard. Double click it and a dialog box opens. You will see two buttons, stop and start, select start to start the service. You will see a drop down box as well called "start up type". Select "Automatic". Now the service is running and will start with the computer. Personally I don't like it running all the time so I go through that procedure I just explained when I want to use AVG AS to do a scan which is about once a week.

     

    If this doesn't fix the problem than I don't know. I know when I disable the service and try to run AVG AS I get the message you are getting because it needs the service to run.

     

    Thanks. I did as you said and that is how it is set, so it has to be something else. Am trying to work with AVG but not getting a lot of help. They keep telling me it is something else, so we shall see. Thanks again!

    Thanks, but how do I go about doing that?

     

     

     

     

    You have disabled the AVG Guard in Windows Services. I get the same message when I disable the service and try to start AVG AS. Go into services and start the AVG AS Guard Service when you want to run AVG AS.

    Has anyone else had a problem with AVG AS and having to re-install after re-booting? I run CCleaner every night before I shut down and most every morning I have to re-install AVG. I cleared the AVG box in CC. AVG doesn't seem to be able to help me so far, so I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem. The error message says"

     

    Connection to service failed. Please re-install AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5.

    Please Add The Option "Clean Prefetch"

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    CCleaner already cleans prefetch data, you can find it listed in:

    Cleaner->Settings->System->Old Prefetch data

     

    If you are wanting to optimize the layout.ini file (this may make it smaller or larger) click start->run and use this:

    %windir%\system32\Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks

     

    22537[/snapback]

     

     

     

     

    I don't have that option under Settings. There are only 4 options

     

    Run Cc when computer starts

    Add Run CC cleaner to Recycle context menu

    Add Open CC opiton to Recycle bin context menu

    Automatically check for updates.

     

    Am I not looking in the right place? Because I would like my prefetch deleted also.

    Advanced options

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    I checked my Advance button and I don't have any of the choices you answered about. I have:

     

    Only delete files in temp files older than 48 hours.

     

    Hide wanring messages

     

    Close program after cleaning

     

    show promt to back up registry issues

     

    show detailed log of Internet Explorer Temp files

     

    Where are the choices to check tray notification cache, etc....? :huh:

    Anti Abuse software

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    Right now I have Norton Anti Virus and my subscription runs out in a couple months, so will try the Microsoft one. I also have McAfee Firewall free through Comcast, but when I check my security with the McAfee firewall, it says I need anti abuse and I don't know exactly what the heck they mean. thanks...

    Posted

    :( My McAfee firewall says I need anti abuse software, but I downloaded the free (with Comcast) McAfee security program and found it too dificult to understand.

     

    Is there a free anti abuse program out there that is secure but not so hard to understand?

    I was having to put in passwords, etc. with the McAfee and it is only me on my computer.

     

    anyone? :rolleyes:

    thanks...should I delete them using hijack this or from the task manager start up items? Or the CCleaner?

    Start Up

    in CCleaner

    Posted

     

    :huh: I love this program...Have a question, though. In the Tools/Start Up can I delete programs like Quicken, Office and Adobe from that list. They don't need to start when Windows open do they? I know the more things you have on start up, the longer it takes, but what I don't know is if I remove these am I removing them completely or just they won't start and when I want to use them, would I have to do anything more than just click and open them? I know it is probably a dumb question...but I am trying to get windows to open quicker....

    Registry

    Posted

     

    :) I used the registry cleaner in CC and all went well, except when I re-started my computer there was a window stating another program was keeping Spy Sweeper from opening, please re-install it. I didn't have to re-install it, just open it up from Programs, but was wondering if anyone would know why this happened or what I took out I shouldn't have. I just let it clean everything out. This is no big problem, because I can always start SS when I start computer. I was wondering if MSAS might be the program that was keeping SS from opening? Thanks for all the help... :wub:

    It is doing it's thing when you run the cleaner and "issues". I get a lot of help from issues, because I change programs a lot.

     

     

     

     

     

    Thanks....I will give it a try...I ran RegSeeker and deleted everything they said I should and couldn't even open my e-mails and had to system restore. So needless to say that program went bye-bye.

    :( I keep reading the CCleaner cleans the registry, but I haven't been able to find out how to, etc. I love the program. I have had troubles with Registry First Aid taking "stuff" out it shouldn't, so want to try using the reg cleaner in CC. Can someone tell me exactly how? I can't see where it tells how to do it...Pretty please...

    Two Anti-Virus programs Compatibility

    in Software

    Posted

    Is it possible for a person to run 2 Anti-Virus programs at the same time? I have Norton 2004, but have been reading about the free avg. Will they work well together?

     

    Now for another question. For some reason my Spyware Dr. and my Spysweeper don't work very well together. Spy Dr. seems to take forever to load and I had to take it off my start programs, because I kept getting an error message. I emailed their support, but never did hear back.

     

    Thanks...I guess this is more than 1 ?... Oh, well...
