    3. Hi all Still struggling to turn off google instant and in the process of checking a few things I find in Ccleaner that although I have cookies ticked to clear under the windows section, they do not clear (ie cookies still show in the Cookies section in the left pane) So looking further there is a cookie option which is unticked under the Applications section What happens if I tick that and run Ccleaner ?

    3. Hi Nivard, Not sure what you mean by this statement... (ie cookies still show in the Cookies section in the left pane) The "cookies" box will always remain ticked on until you choose to tick it off (i.e. not delete any cookies) When you click on the "Analyze" button, before actually doing a Cleaning, do you get results that show you will be deleting cookies? As well, in CCleaner if you click on the Options selection (Left Side), then click on the Advanced button, you will have an option that should be ticked ON... "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 24 hours" This will leave any Windows Temporary files that are less than 24 hours old, as is. Not sure if this affects cookies, as well ?!?!? Regards, Kevin.
