On the "View" options page, should "Save column widths" be made unselectable if the user has selected "Autosize columns". Seems to me that it should.

bug or on purpose?

and also can you consider suggestion of implementing option for automatically scan for 1 click cleanup (without need to click on start), and maybe for also automatically
exit option.then literally it will be 1 click cleanup

also i think that au should be complete bundle of your products, it would be nice to have registry finder implemented in au, every tool is already in au like registry compactor, regbak, etc....

hello!

latest au x64
windows 7 ultimate sp 1 x64 (clean install)

inaccurate auto detect plugin list
4sync - not installed
bing finance not installed
ms office picture manager - not installed
skype metro - not installed

maybe you should consider to check all by default, plugins on the list,remove auto detect option, because it is inaccurate for years.users already have plugin maker to make plugins which are not on list.
it would be nice to have mainstream software plugins, checked all by default, most of plugins on list are outdated and relatively unknown today

regards!

Hi
Why not "all" ítems can be disabled from the exclude list? (Win 8.1 64 bit)

(you mentioned in the 5.9.0 changes "Some items in the 'Options' > 'Remove junk Files' > 'Exclude' folder list can now be disabled."

Thanks

[hari]

Allowing 'RecycleBin' and 'sendto' folders can be problematic. Can you please let us know why you want these two to be disabled?

It is clear, I thoug it would be useful only for testing or analizing purpose. I agree with you, then it would be better if that ítems remain selected.
Thanks.

Kind time of the day!
If you make the point "Find in registry" (like in jv16 Power Tools) with possibility to delete finding items-your programm will be the Best in the world!
Good luck!

There should be an option to install or not install all of the utilities shortcuts in Start Menu. Please look at the attached snapshot which is from another program.

Your program does not scan the registry section listed below for obsolete traces.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\

Uninstalled programs still show up in plugins. The only way to reset it is to delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Acelogix\Ace Utilities\History\plugins. Then, re detect all of the plugins. This behavior should be fixed.
