      not sure if youve done a video on it but would be surprised if you havent, got sidetracked by this vid..... im on a hunt for a video on how to make a "folder" or a depository in the same household / network?? thats only accessible or can be seen by me?
      ive got 2 laptops in my bedroom both connected to internet via wifi ive been downloading the same software for both laptops and just remembered i could do this without having to download 2 of eveything or having to put stuff on a usb stick etc
      quick how to??? or even better now that we all have smart phones and ipads is there a way to set up a folder where devices can access this folder??? im only thinking about me personally at the moment but if it works amazingly then surely other people in the same house can access this? i have no idea whats the right terminology for this though?

      also would be handy to put stuff in for doing an emulation batocera thing that i watched of yours..... now im thinking about this folder thing? i have to decide to make or choose a laptop to be viewable dont i?? rather than magically making a folder appear on the network? the folder i assume would be attached to either laptop A or laptop B instead of magically creating a folder C in my own wifi network??? im beginning to confuse myself now

    I haven't searched the Britec YT video section 'cos it's not always easy re relevence but I would MASSIVELY appreciate details on how to copy videos hosted on consenting platforms &/or with owners © permission (such as Odyssey/Bitchute). Failing this due to YT restrictions - the most cost/effective screen recorders. Cheers Brian

    Thanks i never tried CCleaner for duplicates. Over the years i got into the cycle of just buy a big new hdd and dump the smaller drives on to it. I just moved old WD 500gb drives to a 8 tb before they failed. I write blank on the old drive if the still works. :)

    Nice one Brian cos I haven't used CCleaner for years now after it was taken over by I think it was Avast and didn't want the ads etc but might give it another go not that I think I have a lot of duplicate files. One video I would like to see is the run a Linux distro from a USB stick without installing it on the C: drive that would be really good as you mentioned it a while ago in a video I cannot find.

    Tried and tested this software multiple times and it doesnt remove temp files or other files that its supposed to. Checked temp folders after a clean and the files are still there. Manually doing the task might take time but its much safer.

    I am mad as hell at Cclean . I just took 2 1/2 hours to click on each file I wanted to delete. I clicked the button lower right side to delete and a popup came on the screen asking me if I wanted to permanently delete these files. THERE WAS NO BUTTONS TO CLICK ON (Yes/No) IN THE POPUP! no menu to select from. I could click anywhere on the screen and nothing. I just Control-Alt- delete - task manager and go to app's and remove from my computer. Forever

    When I launch CCleaner, my windows defender security system says that it has blocked CCleaner from making " unauthorized changes blocked ". "Controlled folder access blocked c:\program\CCleaner 64.exe" from making changes to memory.
    Does this mean that I have a virus? I deleted CCleaner and reinstalled and still get this message. It is " v5.87.9306( 64bit ). Thanks in advance.

    Brian it appears from one of your comments below you stopped using this yourself since it was taken over by Avast ?? Any reason you leave this video up that promotes it? Some of us will download it and use it and might never see your update. Maybe at least update the video notes?
