Please also read any readme provided with the plug-ins.

1. Quick Start

Start Disk Cleaner. Check all items you want to have cleaned.
Press 'Clean'. Disk Cleaner will start cleaning and report the results.
Press exit when you've read the report.

2. Quiet Mode

Disk Cleaner can be run in so called 'Quiet Mode'. This means that
Disk Cleaner will run, clean and exit automatically without ever
showing a dialog or whatsoever (except when something unusual happens).
To specify quiet mode run Disk Cleaner with an extra parameter: '-q' or '/q'
(without the quotes). Disk Cleaner will clean all the items you
specified the last time in interactive mode (no parameters).
Tip: Create a shortcut in the Start-up Folder of the start menu
pointing to Disk Cleaner, with as extra parameter '-q'. This
will clean all the items selected last time every time the computer
starts! Also see the preset part.
Disk Cleaner can, at your request, add a shortcut itself at the correct
location. Press the configure button in the main window (the 'C') to
do so.

3. Presets

New in Disk Cleaner 1.4.0a is the possibilty to use presets, in


interactive as well as in quiet mode. To create a preset, check all
boxes of the items you want to have cleaned. Then press the Save as...
button. You will be prompted for a name. Enter a new name for the
preset. The preset is saved. To remove a preset select it first and
press Remove. You will NOT be asked if you're sure, it is immediately
removed.
A preset can also be used in quiet mode. Instead of just supplying '/q'
as a parameter, use the following syntax: '/q:presetname' (again without
the quotes and note the colon).
If your preset name contains spaces, pass the parameter enclosed in
double quotes, like this: "/q:preset name" (WITH double quotes).
If the preset exists, it is used. If it doesn't, Disk Cleaner exits,
cleaning nothing. If the colon is forgotten, not the preset but the
last setting in interactive mode is used.
Since version 1.5.2, you can use the configure dialog box (press the
'C' button in the main screen) to do this and run Disk Cleaner
automatically at log-on.

v1.5.4 build 315


New feature: added the option to hide entries with zero items , which
means less clutter on screen since any items meant for software you
haven't installed are hidden. This is OFF by default, however. Turn
it on by pressing the 'C' button. Then check the box for 'Hide
entries when empty'. The setting will take effect the next time Disk
Cleaner is run.
New plug-ins (thanks to bill9mm@...) for IZArc, Microsoft Works 4.5
and WordPerfect.
New plug-in (thanks to Leonardo Lanese Cavalieri) for a forced
\Windows\Temp cleaner. On NT, 2000 and XP, the default temp folder is
in the 'Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp' folder. Some
applications do not use this folder, but insist on using
'\windows\Temp'. This plug-in clears that folder (or more exactly, it
clears '%windir%\Temp').
New plug-in for Quick Time Player.
Added Office 2003 to the office plug-in.
Added Paint Shop Pro 8 and 9 to the Paint Shop Pro plug-in.
Enhanced the cleaning for Real Player
Bugfix: On Windows XP (and perhaps 2000), Disk Cleaner shows an error
if it is unable to write to the .ini file (i.e. a read-only drive).
Win 9x machines do not show this problem. This should be fixed.
Bugfix: The feature of removing files on reboot, if they are locked
by Windows, could only be turned of temporarily. Disk Cleaner would
not remember this setting permanently and turned it on again on the
next run. Should be fixed.
Bugfix: the start-on-login shortcut link that Disk Cleaner can create
automatically did not enclose preset names in quotes (""). When a
preset name contains a space, nothing would be cleaned. Should be
fixed.
Bugfix: When using the right mouse button menu to 'Select All' or to
'Invert selection', the number of bytes selected to clean was not
updated. Again, should be fixed.

v1.5.3 build 243


Locked files that cannot be deleted when Disk Cleaner was trying are
now scheduled to be removed on reboot. If you do not like this behaviour,
it can be turned off in the configuration screen (the 'C' button).
The right-click pop-up menu for the plug-ins has been extended with a
'Select All' and 'Invert Selection' item.

v1.5.2 build 232


Did some small stuff:
- added a 'Back' button to get back to the main window after cleaning
- This is I believe a huge step forward in user-friendlyness:
Disk Cleaner can now install a shortcut in the startup folder itself,
to start cleaning when logging in. Disk Cleaner will take care of
adding the '/q' at the correct location. Press the new 'C' button to
install and remove the shortcut.
- Disk Cleaner now adapts more to the current screen font. Most,
but not all, items now show their text with the same font as the rest of
windows.
v1.5.1 build 190
Added new plug-ins to installer. Added /si option to cleaning possibilities.
This will remove also the base folder (if empty).
v1.5.1 build 186
Fixed bug in preset handling

v1.5.1 build 185

Added new type of plug-in, using INI-style text files. See the plug-in
folder for examples. Also the ability to change the colors used in
Disk Cleaner has been added. Details will follow...

***********************************************
v1.4.1 build 61
Got rid of the scrollbars that showed up when using Disk Cleaner under
Windows XP. Apparently Windows 9x/ME/2k/NT behave different from XP
regarding these scrollbars.

v1.4.1 build 47
Changed copyright info to (c)2003 (was 2001), updated web link in About
dialog.

v1.4.1 build 43
Changed the windows to resizable ones. They will even remember were
you left 'm.

v1.4.0a:
dclean.exe file version 1.4.0 build 41
Disk Cleaner now does not allow saving presets with the names
'dclean' or 'plugins'. This prevents possible errors (see section
'bugs').
dclean.exe file version 1.4.0 build 40:
Changed bitmap in about box to 256 color version. Saves 30 kB
on uncompressed size.

dclean.exe file version 1.4.0 build 39:


Added preset support. Changed look to something more modern.
Fixed bug causing access violations when there were no plug-ins
installed. Improved help system a bit.

***********************************************
v1.3.2:
DClean file version 1.2.0 build 6 (1.3.2 b version):
Upgraded to newer application developing environment. Updated links
to new website. Changed some cosmetics in the about window.
Changed 'no plugins found' message to something somewhat more
friendly, including URL of website.

DClean.exe file version 1.1.0, build 2


Just some cosmetics: changed the border style around cleaning items
from 'bump' to 'etched'. Changed the term 'files' to 'items' in the
checklist, as it more accurately describes them thingies (to my opinion,
as i.e. registry entries aren't files). Also, if the size of the items
of the same kind is less than 1024 bytes, the total no. of bytes is
shown, instead of '0 kB'. Also, when the size > 10 MB, the size is
shown in MB instead of kB.
When the user now clicks 'Clean', the cursor will change to an hourglass
to indicate that Disk Cleaner is busy. Finally, if it should happen
that the checklist is too small to show the complete text, an explorer
style hint box (those yellow text boxes) appears to tell you
what the complete text is.
***********************************************
v1.3.1:
This is the first time the executables and the plug-ins are separated,
to facilitate updating.
DClean.exe file version 1.0.0, build 22
Looks like the program didn't run at all under Win95 with the standard
shell (v4.70), due to the lack of some functions used by Disk Cleaner
(or better, by the standard plugin).
This has been fixed.
***********************************************
v1.3 :
* DClean.exe v1.0.0 build 17:
Small bug fixed. Border around check list was drawn incorrectly on
machines with non-standard scale screen font.
* DClean v1.0.0 build 1:
Total re-write of Disk Cleaner. Doesn't look like its predecessors at all.
First release of the program in its current form.
***********************************************
v1.2 and lower: you really shouldn't care...

5. Bugs and feedback

One should not name a preset 'dclean' or 'plugins' as these names


are used by Disk Cleaner itself. Using these names may prevent the
proper operation of Disk Cleaner (and besides, you should be able to think
of something more imaginative)
Send your feedback to:
