What are good setting for Ccleaner in Windows 7 x64?

What are good settings for Ccleaner's disk cleaner in Windows 7 x64 ?

In the "Options" and then "Settings" menu, choose the "Secure File Deletion" then "Simple 1 Pass Overwrite" for wiping and file deletion.

The other settings just pick and choose if you need them, there's no one perfect way to set it up other than personal preference.

It's recomended that you only use registry cleaner's occasionally, like once a month! even at that you should be very careful of what you delete.

windows 7 is more than capable of fixing things it's self, windows 7 is designed to ignore old registries therefore not slowing the system down. Not like Vista.

here is what Ed Bott thinks;

not everyone will agree on this

I have those set. I'm wondering which are safe to check und System and the Advanced sections on the page for the disk cleaner of it when Ccleaner opens up on the desktop. I remember a post that TorrentG replied to over the summer, but after the weekend clean install for my router problem. I can't remember what all the settings were. I've got Jumplists and Thumbnail cache unchecked. Everything else in the top section is checked. In System I've got DNS Cache and in Advanced I've got Old Prefetch Data checke. I've also got everything checked for IE, Firefox and Opera. I've got Windows Defender and Malwarebytes unchecked under the Programs section.d

It's registry cleaner is good, but not perfect. It always shows Mc Afee Site Advisor, even though Site Advisor Plus works fine in IE 8, Firefox 3.6.12 and Opera 10.63. I also use Tuneup Utilities 2011 and Diskeeper Professional 2010. Perfect Disk Professional 10 and Auslogics DiskDefrag were both tried recently and both caused frequent BSOD's per TorrentG. My drivers are all updated and since removing both of them. I've had no BSOD to date.

This method is safest, The sfc /scannow command (System File Checker) scans the integrity of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible.

I only use CCleaner once a month but very careful of what i delete, and should i find any serious problems that the first method wont fix, i use ccleaner as last resort.

to date fingers crossed I have never had the BSOD on this pc i am using, however on my other pc's registry cleaner have had caused problems but i think this was because i used the registry cleaner's more frequent, which i now know better and ever since everything has been fine on all when it comes down to cleaning my pc's

Yeah, registry cleaners aren't needed, unless you frequently install/uninstall software. I use Revo-Uninstaller Pro for that with Windows 7 x64. If you don't have a 64 bit os the free version of Revo-Uninstaller is fine. You need the Pro (paid for) version if you have 64 bit Windows.

The "Pro" version of Revo Uninstaller is free for 30 days, it's a trial period. If you save the exe. file (the installer file), you can install these "trial period" apps many times, as you need them.

It's in the EULA, you can have and keep one copy of the file, to reinstall it with, should you need it. Most apps are this way.

Many useful utilities has free "trial periods", such as valuable defrag tools, like Disckeeper & Perfect Disk, keep the exe. file, and use them over & over (on different computers), as you need them. There are many useful apps that you can obtain this way, if only you hunt the net for them.

That's very true, but that's an outdated version. The current updated version is 2.4.3.0.

The article from Ed Bott is over 5-1/2 years old too. To me it's basically six of one and a half dozen of the other.

This is one of those "opinionated" topics, so you'll get a lot of diverse opinions for sure.
