Not unlike many other forum participants here, I use Ccleaner. While I don't use its registry applet since I have more powerful & efficient alternatives. I do use the main module. I've customized / added some of the folders it scans / cleans. Can anyone see any downside to this configuration or any additions I'm missing?

so CCleaner doesnt detect those folders?

On a "normal scan" I don't think so. I get much more detail / files on the "to be deleted" screen if I use this configuration.

if that config helps then go ahead and use it.

Hi All:

This free tool is now at V1.37.456 just upgraded the other day.

It is far and away a very easy and safe tool to clean up all our &^&^% that we leave around! If you haven't tried it do so! If you are a bit nervous at first take an image backup you can restore from. On first use you wouldn't believe the space I saved with it!

I also believe it speeds my PC up! Just Google the name and download it!

Good advice about the image backup. I would not describe this app as safe.

Not from me. I recommend this to my clients everyday and have never known anyone to have a problem. Any program ever written will have caused a problem to someone somewhere in the world but this program has got to rank with those that have caused the least damage.

Another way to use Ccleaner more efficiently was proposed over at techsupportalert.com. Gizmo lists a way to have Windows Tasks Scheduler open and run Ccleaner automatically. It seemed easy enough and is a nice little sceduled cleaning job. Link below-
