Install over the top.

How about including some stuff like JV16 PowerTools has about cleaning Start Up Items and Advanced Uninstall Stuff?

The download still says it version 105 instead of 106?

Is the download actually version 1.0.6.048?

Great Program, Must Have!

Keep it free :)

o another question for my friend taht is using other windows beside xp home and pro.

Is this program compatible with otther windows out there.

Yup, it's compatible with all versions of Windows from 98/NT4 onwards.

Not sure why the website hasn't updated, try a refresh, as I updated it this morning. :huh:

Glad you like it. It's fast because I focused on speed rather than flashy interfaces, splash screens etc. ;)

Hmm... have you removed the right-click -> fix all item in the registry cleaner? Right click doesn't do anything anymore :( Also, would it be possible to have a more accurate progress bar? I don't like how it keeps starting again as the program scans the registry - theres no way of knowing how long it's going to take! It's hard to explain, but I'd rather that when it gets to the right hand side it's complete.

Hmmm... strange.... no haven't removed it, I'll look into that one.

Good point about the progress bar, it worked fine when the progress took a couple of seconds, now it's scanning more stuff it tends to loop a bit. ;)

Weird - the right click menu in the registry cleaner works ok on my Win2000 machine...?

Could you also add a progress bar for when CCleaner is fixing the registry problems - if there's alot and you choose 'Fix All' there's nothing to say whats going on and some people might think that the program has frozen.

Any more progress with having CCleaner as a single executable? I'd love to be able to run it from my new USB Flash Drive. I tried copying the folder over as suggested, but I get a 'Run-time error 429, ActiveX component can't create object' error when I try to run it. Is there anything I could add to the folder to enable the program to run?

Btw, great work so far - I really like the program. It just needs a little 'fine tuning' to make it great! :)

I doubled checked the right-click issue and it worked fine on my test machines. So not quite sure what's wrong. Anyone else noticed this problem?

A single executable is still a plan, although not in the immediate future. (Unless everyone thinks it's essential ;))

You can manually install it by copying all the files in the Program files\CCleaner folder onto the new machine and registering all the OCXs.

Ok, it does work - I just didn't realise that you had to actually right-click one of the items for the menu to appear - I was just right-clicking in the empty space!

Nah, a single exe is not essential - just being able to copy the folder across would be good enough but I always get that OCX error. How exactly do I register them? Could I add something to the folder to allow the program to run directly from the USB Drive without having to do anything on the actual pc?

Sure, just setup a batch file to do:

regsvr32 filename.ocx

then uninstall with

regsvr32 /u filename.ocx

Hi, me again - sorry if it seems like all I every do is complain about this program. I love it and want to help make it better!

I've just come across a small problem with the button text being cut off when using the XP Style.

post-34-1079719357.jpg

Im using KoL's Smooth Stripes 4 VS, but it does it with some others too. Once I set CCleaner to the Standard or Flat style, the text was fine so no major problem, but possibly something for the next update?

:) No probs. Ran a few tests with that theme and had similar problems, just in different places (which is a bit odd).

But a few spacing tweaks seems to have fixed it. I'll post an update shortly.

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.

      Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
