WaitToKillServiceTimeOut Yes, I changed every WaitToKill registry entry manually, but the values revert to the default with every reboot. It appears some aspect of the AWC3 automatic cleaner (?one of the index.dat entries) may be wiping the change on startup. I haven't been able to figure out a way to add WaitToKillServiceTimeOut to the ignore list. Any ideas?

BUGS - Cookies, Plug-ins, SFC, Shortcut Fixer I have several bugs to report --some I have reported before (but have yet to see a fix), plus a few more bugs and details. See previous report: http://forums.iobit.com/showthread.php?p=8286#post8286 I use Vista Ultimate 64-bit (desktop) and Vista Home Premium 32-bit (notebook) with ASC 3.1 installed on each. Most other installed software are the same on both PCs. COOKIES: I have preserved useful cookies for certain websites through several generations of Windows by using the IE cookie import/export feature on the File menu. When I import these cookies, by default Vista places them in Username/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Cookies/Low. Additional cookies acquired when this account is run normally are placed in the same "Cookies/Low" folder. Only cookies acquired when surfing with this account "Run as Administrator" are saved directly in the higher level "Cookies" folder. ASC 3 only recognizes some (but not all) cookies in the Username/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Cookies folder, and NONE of those in the Username/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Cookies/Low folder. As such, ASC 3 does not clean the cookies I acquire roaming the net and the ASC 3 "exclude/ignore" feature does not allow me to save my useful cookies unless IE7 is run as an "Administrator." Other cookie cleaner/keeper utilities like Norton SytemWorks, ZoneAlarm Security Suite, Karen's Coookie Viewer, Webroot WindowWasher, Free Internet Window Washer correctly identify this default cookie location. COOKIE BACKUP PLUG-IN: Also, the Driver Backup Utility (under tab "Security") has plug-ins to backup Cookies and Favorites. It also cannot find my cookies since the default location is listed as C:\Documents and Settings\releaseengineer\Cookies. There is no such folder in Vista and nothing termed "releaseengineer" in XP. This appears to be a holdover from the early development stage of ASC 3 and never corrected. Please correct this bug. Is it possible to add to the "options" menu a browsable folder locator to set the default or any customized location for Cookies, temp folders etc, used in ASC 3 cleaning processes? This would make your application's features useful to more users and help solve problems for those who do not always run their OS and browsers with Administrator privileges. SFC: In 32-bit Vista the Sytem File Checker in the Utilities section launches and runs as it should. However, on the 64-bit system clicking SFC briefly launches a black DOS command screen, which disappears in less than 1 second. Has anyone else seen this problem? SHORTCUT FIXER: Shortcut Fixer (and so, sometimes Registry Fix) often identifies shortcuts I have made to program icons on my desktop, and shortcuts for installed programs that I have intentionally moved from their default locations to a new folders as "Nonexistent Shortcut File." They cannot be nonexistent if they are still on my desktop or their new folder grouping and still function. Allowing Shortcut Fixer and Registry Fixer to automatically delete these items makes them disappear, forcing me to restore the registry or sometimes a disk image to a previous state in order to recover access to the program. Is it possible to insert a functionality to redirect missing, outdated or misdirected shortcuts to their proper targets (like Norton SystemWorks WinDoctor)? SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION: System Optimization identifies and corrects WaittoKillServiceTimeOut from the default 20000 to 5000 in 2 registry locations; however, when I reboot my computer, the registry settings always revert to the default value of 20000. Any suggestions here?

Bugs with AWC RC4 - Cookies and SFC I have not seen these problems posted. I use Vista Ultimate 64-bit (desktop) and Vista Home Premium 32-bit (notebook) with AWC RC-4 installed on each. Most other installed sotware are the same on both PCs. COOKIES: I have preserved useful cookies for certain websites through several generations of Windows by using the IE cookie import/export feature on the File menu. When I import these cookies, by default Vista places them in Username/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Cookies/Low. Additional cookies acquired when this account is run normally are placed in the same "Cookies/Low" folder. Only cookies acquired when surfing with this account "Run as Administrator" are saved directly in the higher level "Cookies" folder. AWC only recognizes cookies in the Username/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Cookies folder, not those in the Username/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Cookies/Low folder.

Approve any obnoxious Windows UAC prompts. AWC should now run without changing accounts.
