  1. I want Thunderbird to remember passwords. I do not want Firefox to remember passwords.

    [...]

    Can Firefox and Thunderbird processing be split into two separate applications on the checklist of what is to be deleted?

     

    Same here, I have to agree with camper, I also found the new behaviour

    introduced with v3.04 quite annoying (to say the least ;)).

    In fact, that's why went straight to the forum looking for a thread like this.

     

    Please make the treatment of Firefox and thunderbird separate, they are

    two different programs after all.

  2. CCleaner 2.21's new OpenOffice 3.1 Cleaning support deletes the wrong file.

    It deletes "Common.xcu", but this does not seem to be the right one to delete

    as it "contains a lot of important user settings", according to a poster in the

    following thread:

     

    http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/for...f=6&t=18588

     

    The right file to delete seems to be "Histories.xcu".

     

    EDIT: This qualifies as a major bug, as deleting common.xcu will indeed cause

    loads of preferences to get lost!

     

    Please be more careful when adding new OpenOffice cleaning features

    in the future - there have been mistakes related to deleting "important"

    OpenOffice files / settings in the past already :(

  3. Sorry for bumping this old thread, but ...

     

    Is Flash Player cleaning gone altogether (i.e. removed from CCleaner)

    now ? I can't seem to find the option (the checkbox) for it.

     

    I'm using CCleaner 2.07 & The Flash Plugin for Firefox.

     

    If it was indeed removed, is there any chance to get it back,

    and implement it properly this time (i.e. don't delete flash's own settings) ?

     

    cheers,

  4. I'm using 2.01.507, and I've noticed that in the 2.x series, I no longer see the option to clear Flash player anymore. This option was there in 1.4.x. I uninstalled and re-installed CCleaner, and it still doesn't give me the option to clear Flash. I even uninstalled flash, then downloaded + re-installed newest version. No luck. My browser is FF, if that matters.

     

    I also just noticed this bug. I'm using Firefox + Adobe's Flash 9 Plugin for FF.

    Right now I'm using CCleaner 2.03 and it still does NOT detect the Flash Player / Plugin.

    So Flash Cleaning is broken (because the plugin is not detected).

     

    Please fix this. And while your' at it, maybe it's also possible to fix

    the long-standing bug that the Flash Player's settings always get erased as well.

     

    Thank You and Best Wishes,

  5. Well... first of all, I'm using CCleaner 1.41.

     

    I've recently wondered why Avira AntiVir always downloads all its

    Antivirus Database over and over again (i.e. all .vdf files).

     

    It seem like they are stored in %appdata%\All Users\Application Data\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\Update.

     

    And CCleaner always cleans this folder (If Antivir Cleaning is selected).

     

    This leads to AntiVir having do download all its Antivirus database again.

     

    But this was NOT the case in the past. Has Avira changed something in their update process ?

    Something that means that CCleaner's winapp.ini has to be updated (skipping the "Update" folder) ?

     

    Am I right ???? Anyone can confirm this ?

     

    Greetings,

  6. Well, after extensive searching for a solution,

    I have concluded that there is no easy way to turn off the

    thumbscache while retaining thumbnail displaying capability.

     

    That means that an option to clean the thumbscache

    (Files in X:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer)

    would indeed be nice and needed :P

     

    After all, Microsoft's little cleaning app (What's it called again ... Disk Cleanup ? I think so...)

    includes this capability (But I want CCleaner to do it ;) ).

  7. Howdy,

     

    as some of you might know, Vista has a new feature called the Reliability Monitor.

    It collects system stability data and will so so from the beginning of Vista's installation,

    until basically forever ;) .

    Therefore it would be nice if CCleaner could clean the history and data files generated

    by this feature.

     

    They seem to be located in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\RAC.

    I don't know whether it is safe do just delete every file in both subfolders, that must be

    subject of further investigation.

     

     

    later,

  8. I'd rather have a lean, quite bug-free cleaner with less features than a potentially bug-ridden,

    bloated feature-monster. Nothing against new features, but bugfixes should always have top priority.

    When there are no bugs left, new features can be added ;) .

  9. Hey John_g, thx for your tip,

     

    but I am of course aware of this checkbox.

    The thing is, that the "Always show icons, never thumbnails" checkbox completely disables the

    thumbnail feature, i.e. you won't get any previews at all.

    This checkbox sucks, this is not what I want ;);)

     

    I want Vista to still show image thumbnails, but want to prevent it from caching them,

    Windows should just recreate them each time I browse a folder with pictures in it.

     

    In other words, I want Vista to simply behave the same way Windows XP does if you tell it

    not to chache thumbnails:

    XP stops caching them (thumbs.db files don't get created anymore), but the thumbnail feature

    still works, just without the cache...

     

    Cheers!

  10. Windows Vista has a new way of caching its Explorer's thumbnails of images and videos.

     

    It does not create hidden "thumbs.db" files in each folder anymore (as WinXP does).

    Instead, it now has a centralised database under

    X:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer.

     

    I think there should be an option for CCleaner to clean this database

    (i.e. delete the thumbscache files).

     

    The thing is, that there seems to be no obvious way to disable the caching of thumbnails in Vista.

    Under WinXP, there was a straightforward option called "Do not cache thumbnails"

    (Explorer > Folder Options > View). This option is gone in Vista :angry: .

     

    I found a registry tweak somewhere, but this does not work with Vista RTM, only with the RC-1.

     

    If anyone has a tip on how to properly disable Vista's thumbnail cache

    I would be very grateful, as disabling the whole thing is better than cleaning it ;)

     

    Thx, Spacemarine

  11. Hi,

     

    when using CCleaner with Windows Vista, the checkbox "Tray Notifications Cache"

    (under "Advanced") is missing. So the tray cache can't be cleaned.

     

    From what I've seen, Vista does still cache all programs which have previously

    displayed a tray icon very much the same way WinXP does.

     

    This means that tray icon cache cleaning is still needed in Vista, so please bring it back ;)

     

    Cheers!
