Re: CCleaner - IMPORTANT
Re: CCleaner - IMPORTANT
Thanks Zee......I was just getting on to mention that!!! Hope Dan got it in
time. Another item I thought about after I saw Cookies mentioned.....is the
index.dat file setting. If you have Cookies unchecked and the Index.dat
files set to remove, it will remove the /index.dat/ file from the Cookies
folder, effectively rendering them unuseable!! If you have specific
websites, i.e. Weather, customized to certain areas, you will lose this
customization when the Cookies index.dat file is removed at next boot. I
have looked for a way to keep the Cookie index.dat and remove the others,
like from History, Temp Internet, etc........but, no luck yet. Haven't
really looked that hard
.
Heirloom, old and if someone know how, let me
know!!!
