Awesome little app, Avant Browser does most of the internet stuff for me and I have XP to not remember MRU files or any type of history anyhow but the ability to save cookies is a welcome feature. Now I can clean out my cookies and not have to log back into neowin and the others I visit. Thanks man.

Cool, looking forward to it.

btw, after cleaning using ccleaner, my index.dat should be recreated when my computer restarts right? so it shouldn't contain anything but what i do after reboot. but i just notice that i can still c my histories, and urls using a program called "index.dat viewer" which views data in index.dat (duh~)

even after i used ccleaner.

but i haven't given it a careful investigation.. i only noticed just then, now i am gonna go to sleep.

if ur interested u can have a try with that viewer and ur ccleaner.

oh, and ccleaner would be so cool if it has registry cleaning as well ^_^

Hmmm.... strange I'll look into it.

Hi all,

Not that I listen too much to what people ask for. ;)

But if anyone is interested in beta testing a new version of Crap Cleaner that includes a Registry cleaner as well. Then please send me your email address.

Note: I'm really only looking for people with a very good knowledge of the registry, so those who know what keys can be deleted and which ones can't.

Also this beta build won't screw up your machine as the registry cleaner doesn't actually delete anything yet, it just lists the issues.

Just to let you know I've released version 1.03, which has a new Registry Cleaner and a few bug fixes. You can download it from the usual site:

http://ccleaner.jump.to/

There's also a new XP installer which is only 500kb.

Changes are as follows:

v1.03.041

- Added Help File Cleaning.

- Added Application Path Cleaning.

- Added Font Cleaning.

- Added Open with Application Cleaning.

- Added Invalid File Extension cleaning.

- Added ActiveX and COM issue cleaning.

- Added Missing Shared DLLs cleaning.

- Minor bug fixes and INI file tweaking.

- Added new registry issue searching tab.

- Fixed bug where saved cookies would be deleted.

- Added website link.

Let me know what you think! :D

Am I the first one to congratulate u?  :laugh:

*thumbs up*

registry cleaning, yay~

thanks

:D thanks man.

Let me know how well it works and I'll keep updating it.

BTW thanks to spazmatic.net for giving me the new hosting space for the site.

This is getting better as it goes, soon it'll replace my installtion of MRU-Blaster and jv16's. Will I be able to add keys to be deleted?

You can add your own keys by editing the ini files within the application directory. Feel free to send me any new application data to clean and I'll add it to the next version.

There's currently no documentation for editing this, but anyone with a good understanding on Windows and the Registry should be able to cope. :)

The registry cleaner is fully tested under most versions of Windows (98/ME/NT4/2k/XP/2K3) and is designed to scan specific areas, thus it's unable to remove critical keys that could crash windows.

As always any editing of the registry has small risks, and you should really know what you're removing before fixing issues.

BTW: Just uploaded to a new version which adds an optional right-click clean to the Recycle Bin.

I add this

[Customize Notifications Cache]

Section=Windows Explorer

Warning=System tray cache will be reset, Explorer needs to be restarted.

RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify\IconStreams

RegKey2=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify\PastIconsStream

but the key isn't cleared, is there anything wrong?

RegKey2=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify\PastIconsStream

but the key isn't cleared, is there anything wrong?

Because you're deleting values rather than keys you need to do ...\TrayNotify|IconStreams and ...\TrayNotify|PastIconsStream

I'll add this to the next version as well.

Thanks! Is there anyway to invoke a restart in Explorer?

The only way I know of is to close down the process explorer.exe in Task Manager. And then restart it under the Applications tab -> New Task...

Although this can cause issues with some tray icons not reappearing.

A new version should be out shortly, so if anyone has any more additions or suggestions then please post them :happy:

What about settings which allow it to run on shutdown for example, this could be done by creating a bat file of the desired locations which need to be cleaned and automatically adding it to the shutdown files. That could be good.

Nice app.

Unfortunately to get a windows program to run, reliably, on shut-down, it needs to be running from boot. As the only event run on shutdown is a global message which tells all the open windows/processes to shutdown.

Although I'm still looking into it.

To Matt: I'm amazed it's so popular, the counter on the website has gone up several hundred times in the last few hours. :D

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
