Hi,
everytimes I use CCleaner VLC need to rebuild the font cache and despite what is written it takes much more than one minute

what this cache ?
can you store it somewhere Ccleaner can't find it ?
can I UNACTIVE it ?

it's really boring


PS : please allow us to use numbers for our password

would love to read a comprehensive explanation as well

Cache is for fontconfig. It should make font handling much faster, but since fontconfig is somewhat buggy under Win32, it can cause issues. Specially for those users who have installed many additional fonts or change their fonts often (or store their %appdata% to network).

can you store it somewhere Ccleaner can't find it ?

Like where? %appdata%\vlc is about the only place that works in most Windows setups.
