NeoCleaner will be continued when I have the time for it... Which I don't even know when. If anyone here on Neowin wants to take up the coding, I'll send them the source. Or, people can write code for the bits that aren't finished and I can integrate them with the main source code.

New beta... :ninja:

Version 0.4.0.0 (BETA)

- Fixed dead main URL for Update Agent.

- Added drive settings for cleaning scan.

- Added option to try forceful deletion.

- Fixed bug where FolderExists function would return false when the folder did actually exist.

- Improved cleaning result list performance when resorting/removing items after cleaning.

- Fixed background color bugs with settings toolbuttons when using Windows Classic appearance.

Try Update Agent, if not, here's the URL:

NeoCleaner Setup

EDIT: Thanks to Gelob who noticed that the uninstaller did not properly delete NeoCleaner's registry keys and values. This is fixed in a re-package of 0.4, now available for download.

Please do an uninstall of this new installer, then uninstall, then install again... lol.... or just delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Night Iguana\NeoCleaner.

Yeah, it's a weird one. I noticed that it was taking unusually long to complete its cleanup duties. Suspecting that the program had frozen (progress bar was not moving), I tried clicking one of the buttons. 'Update Agent' I think it was. That is when it crashed with an out of memory error.

Do you have a huge amount of files on ur PC? Does it freeze up during "Enumerating files and folders"? This might be because of filename caching in memory... I might disable it because it does use more memory.

For me it uses a max of 50 MB of memory during this part of the scan but drops back down to around 25 MB when completed.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling NeoCleaner. Make sure you have Windows Script 5.6 installed.

Um, how do I find out if I have Windows Script 5.6. I try to download it from Microsoft and validation is required. :angry:

I will try uninstalling/reinstalling.

EDIT: Nope uninstalling/reinstalling didn't fix it.

Hi jimbo,

Certainly looks interesting. A few things though...

1. When I enable Hide Windows Updates, I'm still seeing a lot of Windows XP Hotfixes in the remove programs list. After sending the output from NeoCleaner through WinMerge, I got the following list of files which WERE removed from the list

2. I don't recall reading anywhere in the past 30 pages about how long it took users during the Computer Cleanup analysis part. It takes almost 5 minutes on my laptop (P4/1.6Ghz/512Mb RAM/XP SP1), especially at the "Enumerating files and folders" part.

3. If I did an analysis and cancelled it, and started another analysis subsequently, I still see a "status bar" at the bottom of the progress bar page with values for "Total Results" and "Total Savings". Shouldn't these values only come up once an analysis is done and not while it's being done?

4. In the "Startup Programs" tab, am I supposed to be able to order the lists by clicking on the column titles "Title", "Location", "Path", etc? I'm not able to do this as of yet.

5. I don't have all my startup items listed in the "Startup Programs" list. Using Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel as a point of comparison, the items in his "Startup (common)" and "Startup (user)" tab do not appear in your "Startup Programs" list.

6. When selecting/deselecting items on the "Computer Cleanup" tab, I can click on the name of the item within each sub-section to select or deselect it. However, for the sub-section headers "Windows", "Internet Explorer", etc, I'm having to directly click on the tick box. Shouldn't it be the same for the headers as well as for the items under the header?

7. When I go to your webpage as listed on the very 1st post (http://www.neocleaner.net/), I get the following page:

NC.png

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v85/ramian/NC.png

It most certainly does not look like a page for NeoCleaner...

And some suggestions...

1. While the icon globe-like icon posted on the boards a few pages back does look nice, it isn't so on my desktop. I'm thinking it's the contrast on the white letters, but it just doesn't seem as clear as the icon posted on the threads. I'm not really good with graphics, so I don't really have any suggestions for you here.

2. When you do get to working on the browsers, I'd really really appreciate it if you could include cookie management for Opera (similar to the IE cookie management in CCleaner).

So far, it looks real good. I'll be playing around with it for a while and will certainly let you know if I find anything else. Oh, I'm using v0.4.0.0.

cheers!
