Hi all,

I just installed CCleaner.

When is the best time to run CCleaner? Is it possible to schedule a run time for it...like just before log off, every monday at 2pm for instance.

Regards,

I think that there is an option to run CC at boot up time: I don't know of a scheduler, but no doubt someone has a snazzy script somewhere. As for when to run, different users will have different needs and habits. I don't do a great deal of downloading so I run CC manually now and again, say once or twice a week. I only have about 20 mb a time to delete. It's up to you really, CC is just an easy way to clear out all the tat that accumulates.

I don't usually switch on secure deletion, only when I have some particular and sensitive files to get rid of. Then I run CC in ordinary mode, dump the sensitive files into a folder which is in CC's include list, and run CC in secure delete mode. Others will have their own idiosyncrasies.

I don't like running CCleaner at bootup.
I prefer to run the CCleaner shutdown.bat from Andavari

I usually run the shutdown.bat if I am going out for a while.

What does This CCleaner shutdown.bat does???

It starts CCleaner in quiet mode then waits for 15 seconds then shuts down the system.

It does not work on Win98/ME because there is no shutdown.exe application with those systems.

How will installing this benefit anyone???
