I found it increased shutdown time considerably, so I got rid of

Since it's intended to be run on demand, it should have nothing at all
to do with shutdown time. The only option I can think of that might
affect that would be its new Monitoring feature, which has only been
available for the past few weeks, and can be turned off.

I think your shutdown "problem" was due to something else.

Right, the newest version of CCleaner does start up by default, but it's
a simple click to stop it from starting when Windows starts.

"remove all the DLLs"

I hope you're joking.

Removing an unused driver, before moving the hard drive to another
system is one thing. You don't need CCleaner to practice that
sort of hygiene.

But leave "system" DLLs alone.

Paul

I really didn't know what I needed to remove so I left everything the
way it was.

"All the DLLs hanging around" is what the post reads. That's like the
cop telling the guys on the corner doing nothing to leave.

I had read many good things about CCleaner so I decided to add it to
one system to see how it behaved. Me being me I paid for the "better"
version and got some extra help I thought was nice. Referring back to
the condition of the second hand install with who knows what left over.
SO far nothing but I do like the report of what it removes when I leave
the internet. Together with Malewarebytes and Kaspershy Pure I feel
better than running naked.

As others have noted, CCleaner is not really a registry cleaner per se
like other advertised or avaialable products. It does have a very light,
non agressive module for removing specific orpahn registry items but it
should be used with caution since some findings may point to locations
on installation media that could be necessary to retain.

Use at your own risk and understand in advance what is being removed and
always backup the registry prior to any registry item removal.





What I do like about it's reg cleaner is it tells you what it is about
to remove and gives you a chance to select and does a backup so you can
revert.

Indeed it is. If only there were some way to remove them, without
using some third-party program.

Oh wait -- there is! Several ways, in fact. Here are the first two
that come to mind:

(1) Start*» Run*» CLEANMGR and follow the prompts on screen. (This
can also remove Windows update backup files and other stuff, if you
want.)

(2) Start*» Run*» %TEMP% -- Ctrl+A, Delete.

"remove all the DLLs"

Paul

You missed "...hanging around", IOW, doing nothing.

CCleaner removes only leftover junk, including orphan dlls. The only
"system" files it scrubs are Windows temp files, and the default is to
keep temps any younger than 24 hours.

HTH

It also has the potential to scrub other Windows files (Memory Dumps,
Windows Log files, Error Report files and optionally via Advanced
settings Windows generated system type files (Event Viewer logs,
Pre-fetch data, environment paths, IIs log files, Search logs, etc.) and
3rd party software application files (of which some may be beneficial to
retain for better productivity - e.g. 'Recent' files from application
software

I'd like a utility/add-on that will tag files
automatically when I Save them, enable bulk tagging at some expedient time,
then delete and archive using those tags. Manual tagging is a bore, so I
don't do it.

Maybe what you are looking for:

Dainty ears being troubled by the term "crap" would certainly enjoy the

"Cinder-slut" would not have been a big Disney hit.

there seem to be diverse theories but to me the most plausible I've found
so far derives 'puttel' (German for 'Cinderella' is Aschenputtel) from a
old word, 'putteln', which means digging around in sand, or in this case,
ashes.

'yahoo answers' cites the Grimm Brothers' explanation of the term; she
slept in ashes near the stove and looked consequently all dusty and
dirty, so basically she was a "dirty little scrapper."

are you confusing Spanish ('puta') with German? there is also 'Puff'
which is a whorehouse.

FYI - CCleaner just announced the release of 5.01:

Following last month's CCleaner 5 release, we're pleased to announce
v5.01 adds a brand new Disk Analyzer tool! You can now see the types of
files taking up the most space on your drives, so you can identify areas
that need a clean up. This update also includes improved Firefox and
Opera cleaning as well as optimized memory and CPU usage.

ingenious (as in its synonym = resourceful

'it would be more ingenious to realize'

I was probably packaging too much in one single word.

My reasons (right or wrong ) were - if needing it for future reference
or coffee-table conversation one would be more resourceful in the eyes
of others if they knew the real reason for the name change.

But do feel free to 'insert' any other word more appropriate that
increase one's (yours, others, mine) comfort zone....but choose the
right word otherwise it might just sound like 'C'rap. g

Thanks for that. I just fired up that system and saw the update. Looks
nice.

Feeling better is always nice, but imagine how you'd have felt if the
computer failed to boot or applications were broken as a result of your
cleaning. The risks aren't worth it, if you ask me.
