CCleaner 1.40.520 still fails to comply to Vista's UAC
A few days ago, Piriform unleashed a new version of its PC cleaning tool: CCleaner 1.40.520.Among the notable changes are the improvements to the program's compatibility with Windows Vista's User Account Control (UAC) feature.
However, posts on the official CCleaner forum indicate some (new?) bugs still plague the program's functionality when UAC is enabled. Namely, when storing settings to an .ini files, they will not be saved correctly. The same UAC incompatibility affects CCleaner's "Issues" scanner which fails to function as designed in most cases.
It must be noted though that running the program as Administrator, which bypasses the UAC, enables CCleaner to work as it should. Another solution would be to disable UAC completely, but this might put your computer in danger if you are not an advanced user. If you still wish to do so, simply choose one of the four ways to disable UAC.
The new version also brings forth some improvements to the secure delete routines, to the uninstall tool, Windows Live toolbar cleaning, updates to UI translations and other minor bugfixes.
