Hello @Mustang,

I mainly use the 2nd picture option before shutting down, with the most common options ticked. Notice it can be set to clean up as it goes along.

Unfortunately, Glarys Utilities does NOT have CMD Line Support, unlike CCleaner and some others do. If it did, you could set it up to run at Shutdown or at a certain Time for example using a Batch Script or a Task.

I have and use BOTH of the above mentioned ONCE a week [ Friday ].

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the input Paul Black. And I agree, it is a pity Glary does not include CMD line support.

You are VERY welcome. There was talk of them making this option available, but as far as I know, because funny enough, I looked at this a couple of weeks ago, they have NOT as yet.

It does have an "automatic maintenance" option under Overview. But it is only available in the retail pro version.

I only use the FREE version like yourself.

Mustang said:

Even so, I'm probably a bit obsessive - compulsive, as I run the maintenance every time I shut down my PC. As well as the "Clear event viewer", which is a desktop exe file.

I know how that feels. I am a life time sufferer myself. It's a Gift AND a Curse [ more the LATTER ].

I perform this once a week on Friday as I have mentioned, and I use the computer ALL day EVERY day, and I have NOT had ANY problems. The reason I do it like this is because it does NOT have such a big impact on the Disk with regard to Read / Write [ and running ANY other Cleaning Software ] etc, depending on what you are running.

I hope this helps.

Mustang, have you used Shortcuts Fixer? Exactly how does that fix shortcuts?

Thanks Paul for the input.

You are VERY welcome.

It’s nice to know I’m not the only OCD sufferer. You summed it up perfectly when you said more of a curse than a gift. Sometimes I’m my own worst enemy. Would you believe I actually weigh my 2 boxes of tissues, to make sure I’m using equal amounts from both boxes!

Yes, I do. People do NOT understand, but it is something you get used to as the years pass by!

I turn off PC with Wise Cleaner plus a manual browser cleanup. Once a while a regular cleanup,

Code:

start "" /wait "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Wise\Wise Disk Cleaner\WiseDiskCleaner.exe" -a -adv
start "" /wait "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Wise\Wise Registry Cleaner\WiseRegCleaner.exe" -a -all
