CCleaner User Guide - part 1- Cleaning Junk Files

I won't be explaining how every feature works. Instead, I shall insist on some issues that might require some attention, such as the use of some tools.

As you can see, the program has a simple user interface. On the left hand side of the screen there are four sections: 'Cleaner', 'Registry', 'Tools' and 'Options'.

When you click on the 'Cleaner' section, you will be able to analyze both the operation system and installed applications for junk files. This means that the program will scan your system for redundant files which can be deleted. Now, if you look carefully, each item to be scanned, whether it's a program or a Windows component, has a checkbox.

 

 

Most of the boxes are checked by default. Those that are not checked may contain items which can be vital for you: for example, if you check the 'Autocomplete form history' from 'Internet Explorer', you may lose all the login data (usernames and passwords) stored by the browser. The same goes for 'Firefox's' 'Saved Form Information'.

 

 

If you try to check the boxes under the 'Advanced' category, the program will warn you about what is about to happen, so it's up to you to decide. Besides these issue, cleaning up your system is easy. Just click the 'Analyze' bhutton, wait for the process to end and then click on 'Run Cleaner'.

CCleaner Installation Guide

CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a freeware system optimization tool that removes unused and temporary files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster, more efficiently and giving you more hard disk space.

The installation process is quite quick and easy. Run the executable installation kit, select your language (what dazzled me was the fact that the program has support for more than a dozen languages) and the Setup Wizard will commence the installation process. Click 'Next'.

 

 

 

 

After you accept the terms of the Licence Agreement, you will need to select the destination folder where the program's files will be copied. You may leave the default destination unchanged and click 'Next' to proceed.

 

 

 

 

 

During this stage of the installation process, you will be asked whether you'd like CCleaner to integrate with several Windows features or components. I usually prefer integration with other applications for a quicker access to its features. After selecting your options here, you may click 'Install' to proceed with the setup. And, of course, when the installation is complete, you can click on the 'Finish' button to exit the Setup Wizard.

There are no screenshots to display.

Unlike Ubuntu which is packaged with Gnome, for the KDE desktop that comes with Kubuntu is a little bit harder to find native clients, or clients which fit good on your desktop. However, there are a couple of clients which are accesibile: KTorrent and qBittorrent. There is another client which fits with Kubuntu, but being available only as source package makes it to be appropriate for the advanced users. If you're OK with the source code compiling, then go ahead for FatRat, otherwise, stick to the already existing clients.

Although under Linux you won't find BitTorrent clients such as uTorrent and BitComet which are popular under Windows OS, or at least you can't run them under as native binaries, however you can find very good alternatives. Since I am going to write about Ubuntu clients, thus appropriate for the Gnome desktop environment, I am not going to mention the clients which are typical for KDE. Under Gnome there are some popular clients such as Deluge, Transmission, and Azureus. However, Deluge and Azureus have Windows builds, thus for some of you, these clients might not be a brand new thing.
