Question about CCleaner

Make that two questions.
Was looking over some of the settings in CCleaner and in (Options -> About) I found this:

Command-line parameters:
/AUTO - Runs the cleaner upon loading and then closes the application.

Can someone tell me where I input "/AUTO".. because I want this feature.
--------
In the "Issues" tab of CCleaner, it seems to do the same function as "Lexun RegScrubXP", if this is the case, I would no longer need RegScrubXP, correct? Can I get some input on what others have done in this situation. I try to be meticulous as possible and if I don't need RegScrubXP (even though it's a great program), I'll uninstall it. CCleaner is faster, and has so many features, i never noticed this!!

CCleaner has the following command-line parameter:

/AUTO - Which runs the cleaner upon loading and then closes the application. This command-line parameter can be very useful if you don't want to hit the Close/Exit every time.

To accomplish this (input "/AUTO" I mean) :
(1) Right Click on the CCleaner shortcut, and then click on Properties.
(2) In Target, you should see something like this: "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\ccleaner.exe".
(3) Then just add the command-line parameter at the end, it should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\CCleaner\ccleaner.exe" /AUTO

(Don't forget the SPACE between .exe" and /AUTO)

Important Note: Also, don't forget - you NEED to add the Quotes (") -- I only say this because sometimes people say "without the quotes" but this does not apply in this case; because you actually will NEED to add the quotes for the /AUTO command-line parameter to work properly!

Source of this information: CCleaner - Beginner's Guide (see: XI. Command-line Parameters)

Final Note: Since you say that you're only recently understanding more about what CCleaner can actually do for you, the CCleaner - Beginner's Guide is a great place to mosey around when you have some free time on your hands!

Good Luck!

 

Got it working, thanks

Oh, anytime. Happy to help, really... Glad it worked out for you!

Cheers!

 

Everyone seems to think that the sun shines out of CCleaner's porthole, but it doesn't pick up everything. It is a great program and I use CCleaner every day, but I also use 3 others, daily, as well.

Download/install and run all 4.
All are free and don't conflict with each other.
Each finds stuff the other 3 miss.

Cleanup! http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4895.html
CrapCleaner, aka CCleaner http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4191
EmpTemp http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=1575
and MRU_Blaster http://www.majorgeeks.com/MRU-Blaster_d4184.html

as a 4 pronged attack on stuff accumulated after every net session.

EmpTemp is not difficult to use, but certainly not as easy as CC or Cleanup!

It has to be done manually, as follows:
(1). It starts up showing the Temp Folders tab. If any programs are listed, just click on the lightning bolt and they will be removed.
(2). Next click on Cookies, History, URL tab and then on "show all" tab (far left icon on second row). Click on lightning bolt to remove all.
(3). Next click on "Find tmp files" tab. Click on appropriate Hard drive designation. I usually only click on C: as my others are for backup purposes.
It will then check for all temp (tmp) files. It may take a while. If it lists any files, click on lightning bolt, far left one.
This will remove all tmp files (except 2 that cannot be removed).
(4). Then click on "Clipboard and Shortcuts" tab and then click on that is the far left one, in the centre group of 4. This will list all clipboards and shortcuts and then check to see of they are all valid and unbroken.
If it finds any broken ones, click on the lightning bolt and they will be gone.
(5). Then close down program, click on X, top right of screen.
This takes longer to write about it, than it does to do.
But it is another arrow to your bow, in keeping your PC ticking over. Bazza.

PS: BTW, I am using XP Pro, SP2. I also used most of them on W98SE as well. Baz
