Window Washer clone, but faster

[MikeCoz]

keep this going! its great and getting better! thanks so much! every computer user should know about this program!

[Plarkster]

Wow this is great! Could you put a 'Select All' option in the registry cleaner section - I've used RegCleaner for years and it's always been safe to remove everything it classes as obselete.

This is now my cleaning app of choice!

Just as you were getting used to v1.03, here's v1.04. ;)

Download at: http://ccleaner.jump.to

Changes are as follows:

v1.04.043 - [8 Feb 2004]

- Added context menu to Registry result listview.

- Tweaked Application Path cleaning.

- Added Office 2003 cleaning.

- Added Tray Notification Cache cleaning.

- Tweaked File Extension cleaning.

- Added Installer Cleaning.

- Fixed issue with the very old Windows NT4.

- Altered fonts used within application.

Although visually everything looks the same.

Im sorry but i don't get what the "Applications" tab does...

Got a minute to explain it to me :)

Sure, it clears out the MRUs (Most Recently Used file lists).

e.g. If you open a Word Document, it's recorded that you opened it.

Thanks for adding a 'Select All' option in the registy cleaner. Could you also add a 'Fix All' option when you go into the 'Fix Selected Issues' menu so that you dont have to click 'Fix' on every one.

Thanks again for this great program! :)

Sure can, it's on my list of things to add.

Does anyone know who I contact to get CCleaner added to the software news?

[MikeCoz]

Try the 'submit news' link on the front page (in the right side column near the top).

[Plarkster]

Wow that was fast. The app is fast. Nice.

Thanks dude.

[notsobetter]

well, a quick comparison between this app and window washer

ran ccleaner first then window washer. (both on default)

window washer found an additional 79 megs worth of wasted stuff. hmmm methinks the app might need a little more tweaking

This program ROCKS! It totally OWNS Window Washer!

Do you have any info on what the 79MBs consisted of?

[notsobetter]

It's fast becouse it misses a bunch of stuff

I'm not knocking it. It's a nice start but it needs more work.

As the "bunch of stuff" is an unknown, it's not really a convincing reason why CCleaner is faster.

Agreed, what is the extra 'stuff'?

[notsobetter]

Are you going to tell me that you have a program that you claim is just like ww but faster yet you have never ran the 2 side by side? I was trying to be nice saying it was good but needed to be tweaked more and you haven't even compared the 2?

It was 1299 internet related files at 26.8 megs

and 302 windows files at 52 megs

You want my opinion then? This little app isn't worth the time it takes to download. It's generic. I could pick 20 different programs that do the same thing only they do it better.

Take a look at Window Washer.

Your little project isn't anywhere near what this is.

It isn't a Window Washer clone when it does 10 times less than the real thing.

hell, it isn't even a clone of a poorly written app. I could get the same results from a few batch files and do the same thing your does.

Does yours have a cookie wizard interface?

Is there a plugin wizard on yours?

Can you schedule your to run at different times thru the interface?

Hell, can you even stop yours from running after it's been started?

Does it clean the memory dump?

What about the swap file or the disk checking temp files?

does is clean unused access, outlook, excel, photoeditor, powerpoint and word files?

What about netscape stuff? Does it even look for netscape?

What about AOL? Anything with aol? and on and on and on...

THAT'S why it's faster. Becouse it doesn't do as much and isn't as extensive.

So again, how exactly is this a Window Washer clone?

It's a shame you don't like the software, but luckily most people here seemed to. :)

Jeez.. It's a damn FREE program. If you want to buy Window Washer, have a blast. This guy is just being nice and trying to give someone a free program. Who knows if he is planning on adding additional features to it or not.

To the author, good luck with future development of this program. I love it.
