Installing EasyCleaner 2.0

You can download EasyCleaner 2.0 here.  Internet Explorer will give you a choice of RUN or SAVE; choose RUN.  The other major browsers will automatically Save the file when you click the link, either to your desktop or to your Downloads folder; whatever, navigate to the saved file, and double-click to Run it.  Accept all the defaults; e.g., click on Next  »  Next  »  Install  »  Finish.

Start EasyCleaner:  Start  »  [All] Programs   »  EasyCleaner  »  EasyCleaner.  There may be an error message the first time you start the program, which won't appear ever again.  Ignore it, or click OK if it doesn't go away by itself.  [The error message occurs because the program didn't see the video environment (resolution) it expected on first start; it will adjust itself, and you won't see the error message again.]

The program will run fine as initially installed.  However, I prefer tweaking any time I get the opportunity — to save disk space, to do a more thorough job, or just because I can.  If you're in a tweaking mood, here are my recommendations:

• Click on the Options button.

• On the General tab ...
  • Place a check mark next to Check For Updates Automatically;
  • Place a check mark next to Download and Update Blacklist Automatically;
  • If you have a broadband connection, place a check mark next to Always Connected To the Internet.

• The Appearance, Updates, and Space Usage tabs are okay as they are — don't bother making any changes on these tabs.

• Click the Unnecessary Files tab.
  • In the Ignore box, clear all four check marks.
  • In the Advanced box, clear the check mark next to Confirm Changes, check the box next to Recurse Subdirectories.
  • In the Delete Method box, choose Permanent Delete.

• Click the Shortcuts tab.
  • In the Ignore box, check all boxes except Empty Folders.
  • In the Advanced box, clear both check marks.
  • In the Delete Method box, choose Permanent Delete.

• Click on the Startup tab.
  • In the Undo and Advanced boxes, clear the checkmarks.
  • In the Delete Method box, choose Permanent Delete.

• Click on the Registry tab.
  • In the Undo box, put a check mark next to Create Undo File on Delete.
  • In the Advanced box, remove the check mark next to Confirm Changes.

• Click on the Add/Remove tab.
  • In the Undo box, remove the check mark.
  • In the Advanced box, remove the check mark next to Confirm Changes.

• Click on the Duplicate Files tab.
  • Place a check mark in every box in the Require and Advanced boxes.
  • In the Delete Method box, choose Recycle Bin.

Close EasyCleaner.
