CCleaner Script

[pullmyefinger]

I am using ccleaner 3.0 and am trying to automate the registry cleaning.

everything works for the Scan Issues part, the Fix Selected Issues... button, but when I click fix selected issues:

It gives you a subwindow/child window with the ">>" "Fix Issue" "Fix All Selected Issues" and Close Buttons.

When this sub-window is opened the main window goes inactive and you can't get it activated till you close the aforementioned window.

HOW do I get it to press the right arrow key twice, then press enter on "Fix All Selected Issues", then do the "Close" button to end the program????

I have tried sending the ASCii codes 0157 and 0166,{Right) and {Enter} and nothing works. These are pseudocodes for the correct keystrokes; I know

they won't work. I tried these in conjunction with Ifs, while loops, do loops, control command/controlclick and NOTHING works.

I am getting really tired of going over the same thing and getting the same errors I just want this to work finally and be done with it.

Any help would be really appreciated. This is the first script I have written so tailor your explanation(s) accordingly.

If I need to read more I will do that. What I have done is below:

; SCAN REGISTRY ---------------------------------------------------------

Sleep(2000) ; Wait

Send("!G") ; Clean Registry

Send("S") ; Scan for Issues

Sleep(1000) ; Wait (Cancel Scan enabled)

; Scan for Issues **********************************************************

While ControlCommand("Piriform CCleaner","","Cancel Scan","IsEnabled","")

Sleep(100)

WEnd

Sleep(30000) ; **** Wait for Fix Selected Issues to become active ****

WinActivate("Piriform CCleaner")

WinWaitActive("Piriform CCleaner","")

; This works (the IF below shows first fix); This is the Outer loop that is SCAN AND FIX Issues

If ControlCommand("Piriform CCleaner","","&Fix selected issues...","IsEnabled","") OR ControlCommand("Piriform CCleaner","","Fix selected issues...","IsEnabled","") Then

Send("!F")

; Sleep(5000) ; Wait for Child Window

; SCRIPT WORKS TO HERE ********************** INNER LOOP FOR THE FIX ALL SELECTED ISSUES

; THIS IS THE ONLY PART THAT DOES NOT WORK.

If ControlCommand("Piriform CCleaner","","Fix All Selected Issues","IsEnabled","") OR ControlCommand("Piriform CCleaner","","Fix Issue","IsEnabled","") Then

If ControlCommand("",">>","IsEnabled","") Then

MsgBox(0, "FASI"," Inside >> ",5)

ControlClick("",">>","left")

Send("{RIGHT}") ; press right arrow ASC 0157

Send("{RIGHT}") ; press right arrow ASC 0157

Send("{ENTER}") ; press enter ASC 0166

;Sleep(2500)

;Send("!{F4}")

Else

;Send("!{F4}")

EndIf

EndIf

EndIf

;WinActivate("Piriform CCleaner")

;WinWaitActive("Piriform CCleaner","")

;Sleep(3000)

;Send("!{F4}")

Please use AutoIt Tag for your script !

And CCleaner has some switches for run silently with your own settings :

CCleaner.exe /AUTO CCleaner runs silently and automatically, using the current set of saved options to clean the PC.

CCleaner then exits.

CCleaner.exe /AUTO /SHUTDOWN CCleaner runs silently and automatically, using the current set of saved options to clean the PC.

Windows then shuts down automatically.

http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/advanced-usage/command-line-parameters

I put it at the start of windows for a regular cleaning, it's more easy !

Please note from the site:

You cannot currently run the Registry cleaner through a command-line parameter!

One can select the contoll by sending the TAB key(s) and then the Enter key.

You're right, it's like this :

RegWrite ( 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'ccleaner', "REG_SZ", '"' & @ProgramFilesDir & '\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /AUTO' )

I am using ccleaner 3.0 and am trying to automate the registry cleaning.

Not running it from the Registry!

[pullmyefinger]

Please note from the site:

Doesn't work (the tab, tab, enter sequence).

Actually,

There are 3 or 4 command buttons: ">>" to scroll through the issues, one at a time,

"Fix Issue" to fix the current selected issue from above,

"Fix All Selected Issues" self explanatory and

"Close".

I tried to find something unique about the command buttons (other than the text), but all have the same

Instance, Class, ID, etc.

Used controlcommmand, commandclick, controlclick and nothing works.

A past reply said to run ccleaner with a couple switches but that does not seem to work either.

I want to see what the machine is Doing and not have it run in Silent Mode. PLUS, the documentation

leaves alot to be desired.

The aforementioned command's explanations are weak. It doesn't help that this is the first script I

have ever written..

[JoHanatCent]

I'm stuck. On my previous version al worked ok with the TAB keys and controll click BUT

with the latest v3.01.1327 can not seem to get any keys set to this program.

Some one more clever than me will have to solve this.

[wakillon]

Not running it from the Registry!

It works well for me !

I have ccleaner 2.2, not the last...

U can use the ccleaner's program GUI to save all settings to an ini file. (I think it's ccleaner.ini, within the default C:\program files\ccleaner folder)

Then run with ccleaner.exe /Auto

[JoHanatCent]

Thanx for all the replys.

BUT the problem looks like this:

pullmyefinger wants to clean the registery by sending key(s) etc to CCleaner.

CCleaner does not support the registery cleaning bit through the /Auto run and there is no setting in the .INI to cater for this.

So it seems that even sending control click etc does not work. (However if you do this manually in CCleaner it does work!)

[sleepydvdr]

It appears to me that if you run the command "ccleaner.exe /registry", it pulls up Ccleaner at the registry section. Then send an "s" and it will scan. I don't know how to get AutoIt to know when the scan is complete (maybe someone could help with this part), but then you would need to send an "f", two right arrows and an enter. That would make it clean the registry automatically.

[987learner]

If controlclick doesn't work, try mouseclick (maybe with WinGetPos)

[rover]

It is suggested on the ccleaner site to evaluate each item in the registry fix dialog and not use fix all,

but if you want to automate it for your own purposes read on..

The ws_popup style #32770 dialog class fix reg issues window is not identified by

the AutoIt v3 Window Info tool. it sees one large static control...

I prefer to use Winspector or Window Detective

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Security-Related/Winspector.shtml

http://sourceforge.net/projects/windowdetective/

these two apps identify the controls in this window

Run this example with the ccleaner fix registry issues dialog already open

This example uses verified window/control handles with the control commands

For some reason CCleaner allows multiple instances...

so a multiple instance check is added.

EDIT: noticed problem with _ControlGetClassnameNN() and .NET controls - replaced GetParent() with GetAncestor()

@sleepydvdr: If controlclick doesn't work, try mouseclick (maybe with WinGetPos) = Tried not working.

@sleepydvdr: command "ccleaner.exe /registry" = working but not getting any further.

I actually thrown all code out and started from scratch. This is it:

RunWait("c:\program files\ccleaner\ccleaner.exe /registry"); Working and open at the registry part
sleep(5000)
ControlClick("Piriform CCleaner","","[CLASS:ATL:005A8268; INSTANCE:1]"); not working!
sleep(500)
send("s");not working
sleep(500)
send("!s");not working
sleep(5000)
MouseMove(1,1);not working
sleep(500)
mousemove(@DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight);not working
sleep(500)
MouseMove(456, 583);not working
sleep(500)
$size = WinGetPos("[active]");works
MsgBox(0, "Active window stats (x,y,width,height):", $size[0] & " " & $size[1] & " " & $size[2] & " " & $size[3]);works
;In the INI file I actualy set these settings and it opens accordingly
MouseClick("left",456, 583,2);not working
sleep(500)

MouseClick("primary",456, 583,2); Not WorKing!

Rover thanx with that HUGE insight. Did some changes and some unauthorized short cuts so this seems to behave better:

    $dif = TimerDiff($begin)
    If $dif > 15000 Then
        MsgBox(0, '', 'No Scan to perform!', 5)

Hi,

Just stumbled across this thread just after creating my own script. This is working for me on Windows 7 (64 bit) with CCleaner 3.08.

For this to work you have to deselect "Show prompt to backup registry issues" in the Advanced options.
