CCleaner now works better with Vista and 64-bit operating systems
That’s how this CCleaner release can be summarized: improved compatibility with Microsoft’s newly launched Windows Vista and with 64-bit Windows versions. Both are important, especially the first, now that Vista’s been launched and started popping up in stores and in major PC manufacturers’ offers.
Apart from these improvements, some interesting additions are included in CCleaner 1.37.456, such as the ability to save the program’s settings in an INI file instead of placing them into the Windows Registry; this allows for easier recovery of the settings in case of registry failure or if the program itself is copied to another computer.
More leaning routines have also been added to CCleaner for the latest releases of popular software titles such as Adobe Reader 8.0, IZArc, OpenOffice 2.1 and PerfectDisk 8.0.
See below for the downloads and detailed changelog information.
PS: Another thing worth noting about Piriform’s products is that they’ve recently launched a new title - Recuva (recover) - which is a freeware file recovery tool. It will be covered here as soon as I get the time to test it.
