Aaron13 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 It would be nice if there was an option to auto-clean files every n or n/2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ident Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hello and welcome to the forum A scheduler has been asked for numerous times before. Many members like my self have said we would rather not add bloat to ccleaner when the option is already made available to you in windows. Saying that only the devs can answer if the feature will ever be implemented For more information setting up a task see links below. xp http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308569 vista http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows...Schedule-a-task No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted February 26, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2010 there's really no need to clean that often and has the possiblity of giving your drive a early death. if you are wanting to do this because of internet tracks then perhap ieprivacykeeper may be a better fit. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Alan_B Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 It would be nice if there was an option to auto-clean files every n or n/2 hours. A really stupid idea, which would be called far worse by any-one that suffers the consequences. Applications create temporary junk files which need to be cleaned, BUT THEY ARE NEEDED WHEN THE APPLICATION IS RUNNING, and DING DING DING - TIME TO CLEAN ! ! ! ! ! ! - OOPS Suddenly lose all the morning's work on a spreadsheet etc. - not nice. Suddenly corrupt an application that was running - and will have to be re-installed * * * * * * * * Software installations and updates can also use temporary files that should NOT be trashed before completion. Microsoft Security Patch Tuesday updates - I do not know but would love see the consequences, but not on my P.C. Portable Applications - some were never intended to be portable, and have been converted with a PRE stage that copies relevant registry keys etc. to temporary file(s), and a POST stage that copies the the information back. A resounding no thank you Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 A really stupid idea And a really unpleasant and uncalled for response to a new member. Would it have been so hard to say "I don't think this is a good idea because .." ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
