From: Corsair on 28 Jun 2010 01:55 I've tried this, but other way is that I have no room to do it, as is not listed in the Start up folder, it goes straight to the registry and could not say that run as administrator, but done with the normal program and every time is started user always prompted for privileges.

From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 28 Jun 2010 09:05 Why not just uninstall CCleaner? It provides no useful service, and clearly isn't well behaved. Personally, I avoid programs that claim to do what CCleaner claims to do like the plague. The LAST thinkg I want is an application that "cleans" my system, automatically. Windows doesn't need cleaning, thank you, and if it I want to remove something, I want to know exactly what is being removed. And why. And how. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Corsair" <corsair63(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:51C13A6B-AFD7-4A9E-9B57-B624D4BF4C10(a)microsoft.com... > I've tried this, but other way is that I have no room to do it, > as is not listed in the Start up folder, it goes straight to the > registry and could not say that run as administrator, but done > with the normal program and every time is started user always > prompted for privileges. > > Corsair > > "Charlie Russel - MVP" <Charlie(a)mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> escribió en el > mensaje de noticias:09BC54BF-C642-42C2-818B-4FB739DB09DA(a)microsoft.com... >> Even when it does, I think you still get prompted for rights elevation. >> >> -- >> Charlie. >> http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel >> >> >> >> >> "R.

It is the best temp file remover and registry cleaner around by a million miles. It is excellent at removing redundant registry entries that un-installers leave behind, MSFT seem particularly bad at not cleaning up after an un-install. It runs fine on x32 and x64 Windows, the issue with Win 7 is UAC, it needs to be turned off to enable the user to get control of his/her OS back. -- Jeff Gaines Dorset UK There are 10 types of people in the world, those who do binary and those who don't.

It's a pity MSFT provide things like video editors and media players instead of some decent tools for keeping the OS clean. -- Jeff Gaines Dorset UK I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow, isn't looking good either.
