Tarun Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 It's registry based, unfortunately. All of the OCX are Visual Basic files, thus making CCleaner dependant on them. CCleaner could be a lot better as a Delphi application and strictly using *.ini settings; this could maximize portability. With the addition of the toolbar, CCleaner is going downhill. Here's the key to export for the settings. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\CCleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_BMN Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Give IE-Privacy-Keeper a try... I find it much more configurable... and can be setup as a "take along" version... http://www.unhsolutions.net/IE-Privacy-Keeper/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yes, as its coded in Visual Basic, its dependent on vbruntimes and OCX files. It would be much better off coded in C/C++. And I think a .ini file would be very great to store things such as cookies to keep. And yeh with Yahoo! toolbar it is going downhills. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewriting CCleaner to be a single executable file and a config file would be awesome, and make it smaller and more portable. But now that CCleaner is becoming bigger and more bulky, I guess the dream of a more portable cleaning app isn't doing so hot... Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!!
