Feel free to post any and all feature suggestions you have for MRU-Blaster - I can't promise they'll get added right away (i.e. in the next major version) but I can promise that I will look over each and every one and certainly consider each and every one of them, and the plausibility of implementing them all. 8)

:'( Morning All: downloaded MRU Blaster, when I tried to run it I received an error "A required .dll file.MSUBVM60.dc, not found" uninstalled and reinstalled three times. Ran files and folders to make sure it was completely uninstalled, it is. Any suggestions would be appreciated ;D, this program has received rave reviews from friends who have used it, thank you so much, FreeTibet

Download and install the Visual Basic SP5 run-time from here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;en-us;Q290887

A direct download link to the file is below:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60pro/Redist/sp5/WIN98Me/EN-US/VBRun60sp5.exe

That will fix your problem, and allow you to use MRU-Blaster.

Enjoy! ;D

Hi,

My suggestion is: make the program in another language like C, C++ or Delphi.

October 13th, 2002, 09:33 PM
Some more MRU items:

TMT Pascal lite:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TMT Development\TMT Pascal Lite 3

delete the "Last File x" keys and this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TMT Development\TMT Pascal 4\EditHistory

BsPlayer:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BST\bsplayer

the "filex" keys.

Thanks,

Juquinha

This will probably mean re-working it completely, but it may be worth it.
Since the database is updated so often, maybe it should kept in a separate file, like a .ini or a .xml. That way you don't have to keep downloading the whole program for every update, just the database.

Hi JavaCool
What about adding this item:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HeadLight\GetRight\TypedURLs.

Grtz, Peter

Hi Peter,

MRU BLaster does those already.

BTW, I forgot to add: It's best to run MRU blaster with Internet Explorer shut down.

If some items still remain in your IE Address Bar history after running MRUB, do just that.

When you relaunch IE, they'll be gone

Hi Tony
Thanks for your answer. Because I disabled IE-TypedURLs in MRU-Blaster (my son use to use this option often) the TypedURLs for GetRight don't disappear either, I did not know that.

grtz, Peter

TonyKlein
October 15th, 2002, 09:57 AM
The GetRight recent file list is quite another thing.

I'm not running GetRight, so I couldn't tell you whether MRUBlaster does those as well.

BTW, A list with everything that MRUB targets would be very handy indeed.

javacool
October 15th, 2002, 10:01 AM
The GetRight list is not yet included - I'll be working on it for the next update. :)

The other keys mentioned should (with any luck) also be included in the next update.

And as far as making a separate file to contain the database - always a possibility - we'll see what happens. :)

BTW, we've been talking about the Find Files history in Win 9x.

I'm not Running WinXP, but from http://www.jsifaq.com/SUBK/tip5400/rh5452.htm :

"The easiest way to clear the Windows XP history of searched files and folders is:

1. Copy / Paste the following to an ACMRU.reg file:

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5603]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5603]

2. Merge the ACMRU.reg file with your registry."

I take it that you know about that location?

Hey, cool program! Some features I'd like to see:


More info when viewing the "MRU-Blaster Results". By clicking on an item, you should be able to view what data is stored in that item, as well as a longer description of what type of item it is. I don't really have a clue what a "Windows Explorer - Stream MRU" is or whether I want to delete it. If I knew that Stream MRU was commonly used to store window placements, and that the values of the keys were "112,214" though, then I'd have a better idea. The info about types should also probably be present on the "Program Settings" window.
Make a version that doesn't need to be installed, and is more of a one-time run. It would probably just have to use some default settings (or come with a standalone .ini or .reg file), and not leave any trace on the machine. MRU-Blaster is small enough to fit on a diskette or other small media. That way you could carry it around with you if you use alot of different public access terminals, and not have to install it on each one. The other nice thing about a standalone executable is that having a cleaning program installed on your system kind of makes it look like you have something to hide, which you want to avoid if you do have something to hide ::).
I think it has been mentioned elsewhere, but you gotta hit some file based MRU's, especially like the IE history, and maybe temporary internet files and the like.

1.) More information on the results should is on my list of things to-do. It will probably be implemented in the next major version.
2.) If you install it on one PC, you can simply copy the executable to a floppy disk (the only other things the installer might copy to your system would be support files and dlls, but at least 90% of all PCs have those already present on the system).
3.) Again, on the to-do list (some are already targeted, such as the Windows Recent folders.

I don't know if it can be done.

I've had a multiple machines (NT, 2000, XP) where when the machine hangs and you have to power off the IE history gets screwed up.

You can clear history and there are URLS which remain permanently.

The only way I know to get rid of them is to log in as the administrator and delete

index.dat
hist.dat
and one or two other folders.

What's the chance of taking care of this without an administrative logon?

Hmmm...what drive do you have Windows installed on? And, if you don't mind my asking, what is the full path to your documents and settings folder?

Great program. 3 Suggestions

1-Allow entering of user defined MRUs.

2-Have a "submit a MRU" box in both the program and your page.

3-Allow the user to have more control over the process (optional) with a yes or no "erase this mru" or block of MRUs.

After d\l Macromedia Shockwave, alternatives are given for opting out of autoupgrade, privacy related issues, etc., but registry entries I ran across under

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia

indicate that this opt out procedure is ignored & data is collected.

Is this a vaid assumption?

Does MRU Blaster deal with Macromedia related items?

Can Macromedia data collection be permanently disabled? If so, how?

Also, I second the vote for some kind of autoupdate, or at least the ability to check for version upgrades.

I'm assuming you are referring to some separate plug-in to clean Opera's cache/history/cookies. If so, it is a possibility (one I will be looking into).

I haven't read all of this thread, so I apologise if my suggestion has already been mentioned, but I think a 'stealth' option would be nice. I did have MRU Blaster Scheduler running but I don't like having too many icons in my taskbar, so I stopped using it.

I think an option to 'set and forget' MRU Blaster would be good, afterall, if I want to change any of the settings for MRU Blaster all I need to do is go to Start > Programs > MRU Blaster. :) Great program, javacool!

To make MRU BLASTER even better please add HISTORY INDEX DAT if possible to the cleaning process..I have noticed that in my W98 I get even MS HISTORY folders added and each got an index dat there..

Maybe even RECYCLED folders could be added to cleaning once later..I dont mean recycling bin in C but on other drives..They dont want to vanish...

It seems to me that DISPLAY of cookies in MRU BLASTER could be made a bit better.Instead of two relatively small vertical windows or menus i propose JUST ONE big windows for IGNORED coockies and ID rather call them PROTECTED coockies..The present display is a bit confusing and it is difficult to see what is ignored and what is unprotected.Name IGNORED is a bit misleading as I think cookies are VERY IMPORTANT to be cherished,the good ones,,Otherwise access to sites is slow and stocky..

thank you for giving me MRU Blaster. it is certainly worth what i paid for it.

please add more info to you faq. just like reply #21 Bombadil, the descriptions "Windows UserAssistMRUs" and "Windows Stream MRU" are meaningless to me.

because i allowed all the choice boxes in "Program Settings" to be checked by default i had unfortunate unforeseen unpleasant problems:

1. windows forgot all my folder settings. i'm still working through this.

2. norton WinDoctor lost all its "undo" files.

3. i run multiple monitors. my desktop icon arrangement got totally screwed up. fortunately i also run WinTidy. Please check:

HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Old Work Areas

i cannot imagine any secrecy/privacy/security need to change this key.

It won't necessarily be in the next database update, but yes such an option is being worked on. :)

It will also follow the same rules as the other plug-ins - i.e. it will be disabled by default and include the ability to clean the history index.dat file(s) using secure file shredding.

Best regards,

I have a couple of new MRU suggestions for inclusion in the next version:

1) Terminal Services (Remote Desktop)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server
Client\Default]
"MRU0"="com1.domain.com"
"MRU1"="com2.domain.com"

2) QuickTime 6
The file "QuickTimeFavorites.qtr" from
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QuickTime" contains most recently viewed .MOV files.
I've had success deleting the file, but I'm not sure what else it contains.

Hi Javacool

Steven, [ from another thread in this forum..], had an issue regarding XP's Start|Run .MRU's not being cleaned up when MRUBlaster was run ,,, After 3 hrs of scanning all files [hidden icluded], and an extensive search of the registry , I couldn't find any MRU lists containing the 'run' strings left over in Explorers memory bank.

It appears the only way to Nuke this info, is to open IExplorer,, goto " Tools | Internet Options | Clear History".

....for those reading this ......It can also accessed from Control Panel in the Internet options selection.

This definately deletes the entries still left in the 'Run" box on the start menu.

My suggestion for a program inclusion would be a plug-in that invokes the deletion of the history from IEplorer.

In any event,, if you have already tackled this issue...
I shall go and wipe the egg off my face...lol

Just tried it out for the first time..
What a great utility!!
A couple of comments..
1/ It didnt delete ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU entries for Outlook express newsgroups, maybe because express was running at the time?

2/ A setting to automatically scan and delete on system shutdown would be useful, rather than timer-based. (Maybe it could check if apps are running which would interefere and prompt user to shut them down?)

Thanks! ;D

Looking for a freeware that can auto empty the windows clipboard periodically, nothing found yet.

So I think it is a good point for MRU-Blaster to add this function.

Thx. ;D

Appreciate the program, thanks!

Feature request: a way to use the scheduler without either the scheduler window, or the scheduler icon remaining in system tray.

I believe that Eraser has the functionality that other programs can call it to securely erase files. This would b really cool

Since this thread has been revived, here's a request:

a plugin for Firefox that would securely delete the cache and selected MRUs.

X (http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info.php/x), the Firefox extension that allowed the user to selectively clear the cache, history, etc., did not allow secure deletion of files, a real plus of MRU Blaster. Also, the user had to click the button and choose what to delete; it could not be set to run automatically at boot. I'm using the past tense since X isn't out in an updated version for 0.9+ yet.

You probably know about CleanMOCache (http://www.buttuglysoftware.com/). This program has 2 major limitations, from my point of view: only for XP at present (yes, some of us still use older versions of Windows) and requires .Net (the last thing I want is to append another MS component onto my system!).

I suppose it's difficult to think of making such a plugin when Firefox is still in the "technology preview" stage and things like the default location of profiles are changed. (I'm thinking of the many posts about SpywareBlaster after the Firefox 0.9 release!). But maybe it will be possible when FF 1.0 comes out, which is supposed to be later this summer.

Thanks for your excellent work, javacool.

Here's my request:
------------------

Add Custom Clean feature(through registry windows and folder's files!), so that I can add my own commands which one should I delete in windows registry and in Folders!!!. Thus, make MRU-Blaster become lighter (not bloatware!) and run faster! :-)

Also don't forget "Auto empty the windows clipboard periodically!" couse I love this feature too. :-D

thank very much.

I know this isn't that important but I know that the program already covers the Windows Media Player, so why not add support for others? I also use QuickTime and Avipreview and I get sick of going into my registry cleaner to remove references to media files I deleted that are still in the programs' recent file list and it'd be nice if MRU Blaster can take all of those down with one swipe. I'm not a big registry editor so I wouldn't know the keys but maybe that's why Javacool is the programmer right? ;) ;D

What about a plugin for deleting the most recent MSOffice files (.lnk) located in

C:\Documents and Settings\CURRENT_USER\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Recent

Thank you for the fastest free MRU registry cleaner. Great work.

Option to use external settings file for settings that are currently saved to registry.

I noticed the the MUI Cache keys also hold some computer usage (tracks) data. Might be a good idea to include?

A thousand thanks to you for MRU Blaster!

The popular offline browser Teleport Pro (by Tennyson Mazwell) would be a great inclusion, in my view (though that's only because its popular in this house :) )

If it helps, I can be PM'd for a registry export of Teleport's MRUs and/or screenshot.

I would like to see a plugin that would allow all the great functions of MRU Blaster to run in Mozilla Firefox please?

I am using Firefox far more than IE of late and have not found too many add-ons that are any where near the 'quality' of your products.:0
