pixk Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 After clicking on "options", then "cookies", I get a window with 2 columns, cookies to delete, cookies to keep. Will CCleaner automatically delete all the cookies in the "cookies to delete" column everytime I run CCleaner. Many of the same ones seem to reappear. I am running Firefox 1.5.0.7 on Win98SE. I am not of the computer generation so please make your reply simple to follow. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read This Btw welcome to the forum. Thanks Woody for your prompt reply. The more I use CCleaner the more I appreciate just how complete, how exquisite this program really is. Not being of the computer generation, I take comfort that one program, that uses such little system resources, can so clean my computer of useless + malicious material that I cannot even begin to fathom. I also use AVG, AdAware, Spyware Blaster, MRU Blaster, HiJack This, Reg Seeker, Diskeeper Lite, Firefox, all running on Win98SE, on a P3, 600, 256 megs, Ultra-Lite cable internet. That's why this low power computer just continues to perform efficiently, almost trouble free. Thanks, also, for your welcome to the forum.

Moderators hazelnut Posted October 25, 2006 Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2006 It does for MOST people in IE 7 if you untick delete index.dat and don't run ccleaner at startup.

Also, an almost similar list appears in the cookies section of Firefox 1.5.0.7. In the "settings" of CCleaner, I check the box that runs CCleaner at the computer startup. Is this OK? Shall I make other setting changes? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Open Ccleaner , click on applications and make sure the cookies box is checked under Firefox. Browse a few sites then return to Ccleaner. Click on options> cookies and note the contents of the left column. Now click on Cleaner> Run Cleaner. The cookies in the left column should now be deleted.

The cookies in the left column should now be deleted. Woody. That's the answer. The left column in CCleaner is now clean, also the same cookies are now out of Firefox. Perhaps I ought to uncheck cookies in Firefox, then after a few sessions before I want to use CCleaner again, check the left column to see if I want to transfer any "keeper" cookies into the right column, then recheck cookies in Firefox, then run CCleaner, so that I can also retain these extra cookies in Firefox itself. Am I making any sense? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I have cookies unchecked in Firefox's clear private data tool. I simply allow Ccleaner to manage all my cookie cleaning. In Ccleaner leave the Applications>Firefox>cookies checked. It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine. P. G.

After trying your suggestion, the cookies left in Firefox after running CCleaner are the ones I want. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
