KCleaner : easy and automatic System Cleaner

Index.dat files are locked by System.

 

Apart from killing processes that have open handles on index.dat or a user booting to safe mode because that doesn't lock the files could you del on restart.

 

I know that CCleaner do not delete such files but "mark them for deletion". I'll try to know what's behind these terms.

 

# Kyle Katarn : Then put the locked OFF them and clean them ! Il' has there the paying softwares , which makes this ; I believe in you ! Je crois en vous ! Imagine , that you would have world glory , KCleaner being in freeware !!!
PS. Excuse me : You are a woman or a man , please ?..

# Meriadoc : Thank you , but I not made a success of - I was in safe mode ... and Administrator session also ... then I no more ideas ... And you ?...

Thanks , PROROOTECT

 

I'm a man (sorry ;-) )

 

OK , Thanks

Look to Registry :
HKLM / System / CurrentControlSet / Control / BackupRestore / FilesNotToBackup , and :
HKLM / System / ControlSet001 / Control / BackupRestore / FilesNotToBackup , and :
HKLM / System / ControlSet003 / Control / BackupRestore / FilesNotToBackup ...

Look : index.dat_/s
Comments ?...

 

Hi, I wrote a top-down design and coded a clean up last night for knowledge. Win32 DeleteFile if not locked (not only System can lock index.dat) at startup. I carry on to del history and cookies. I result in employ WinInet, FindFirstUrlCacheEntry for handle to the cache, FindNextUrlCacheEntry and DeleteUrlCacheEntry deleting ie files - cache content and index.dat.

I have also been successful by killing explorer and iexplore. Open Command Prompt and delete index.dat using del command. Don't forget to run explorer afterwards.

 

Thank you , but I prefer for the moment to await wisely the solution of Kyle Katarn ... Coming Soon !!! ... World glory ...

 

Mariadoc : your API based solution seems to be elegant and efficient.
Would you be so kind to share it ? ;-)

Otherwise, i'll grab documentation @ MSDN.... and this will get implemented anyway.

I see no problem here!

If you have problems close all the programs that may use the files in any way - and any program that may host the browser control.

okay, Start and Shutdown - CTRL/ALT/SHIFT click cancel. CTRL/SHIFT/ESC File, Run -del. index.dat-

@kyle I will pm you - I am also thinking of the other ways to do this.

 

Thank you ! Looks like you're an experienced coder...

 

How about some advanced abilities, such as an ini file for tweaking. I would think the ability to add custom paths and filetypes would be nice. Ini file is nice because you can very quickly add your own data instead of using a slower gui method. IMO.

Ini file might be considered. Anyway, i'll do my best to have a handy way of inserting custom content.

 

What language are you using for this?

How about command line options. I use JKDefrag GUI, which is a front end written in I believe AutoIT for JKDefrag. I don't care for ccleaner much. This one would work pretty slick, with a tiny little bit of help.

Maybe a feature set for command line options. Not just to say 'go', but a little more, like maybe a directory list or file list (array) to load instead of the default array via checkboxes you have now. One could have a feature (one, well, you lol) that exports current array to text file for command line use. This way you could set up the paths/file types in the GUI, and use it to ensure all is good. Then simple export to text file, which can then be imported as a command line feature for automation.

More work? lol, simple feature that lets others use it in automation.

Sul.

 

I'm using Delphi 7.

Complex command lines options is definitively a good idea.

Your PROROOTECT

 

You're welcome ("avec plaisir !")

 

cant wait until this is final!
i will then install it on my other pc.
seems alot of companies forget to clean installation cache's after install.
i done an analysis using the portable version on my other computer and it had mutile quicktime install cache and in total your program would save me a huge 2.4gb of space!

 

Thanks !
