CCleaner just ticks me off sometimes.

Every time I run CCleaner everything in My Computer goes blank. No text on all the drives, folders, etc. Heck, I had trouble trying to get a dialog box open to get the screenshot posted below:

Like how the heck am I supposed to see the remaining free space on my C: drive? Where is "C:" drive? What's in my DVD Writer drive? What's plugged into my USB connector?

Does it come back after a reboot? What options are you using in Ccleaner?

It will come back, but I have to restart Explorer.

I've been using CCEnhancer alongside with CCleaner and it gets rid of more junk. Unfortunately if you delete the wrong set of files or delete too much it WILL break your system.

I used CCleaner one time to clean with and it did a number on my computer. I may not have had options set right but I don't know what I'm doing with it I guess. I use the registry cleaner part of it with no problems. :)

CCleaner used with necessary care and foreknowledge will cause no problems. I always check what registry keys it intends to remove, and choose what exactly it should and should not remove of the crum. It has never failed me. I don't use it too often, maybe once in three months.

I would definitely not use an ''enhancer'' and then top it all off by blaming CCleaner in the thread title. Sir, you charged an innocent application with a heinous crime, while allowing the real cuplrit to smirk snarkily from the gallery!

Ccleaner is usually safe. I do not recommend adding things to it, or checking things if you do not know what you are doing.
Did you run the registry cleaner too?
What settings are you checking in ccleaner? Something else might be wrong with your system.
You could just stop using ccleaner.

Always worked fine for me and everyone else PC I have used it on, but that doesn't mean it is perfectly safe.

Your awesome for reading this.
I just happen to go through the same thing using the CCEnhancer so I just stop using it and went back to the default settings on Ccleaner. Ccleaner is considered quite safe unless you start messing around with all the options which I don't recommend unless you are VERY SURE what you are doing.

I tried using CCEnhancer and found out my brain isn't enhanced enough to handle it.
I use Ccleaner with default settings. I do verify what it is going to remove or clean before I allow it to do its work.
When in doubt don't remove it. You will have to do a little research and find out what something is and decide whether you want it remove it or not. Ccleaner is like any other tool. You should learn how to use it.
I have used it for years and did a lot of tinkering with it and found that I seldom have to use anything except default settings.
