Guest Keatah Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Regarding the [VLC media player More*] entry.. [VLC media player More*] LangSecRef=3023 DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe Default=False FileKey1=%AppData%\vlc|*.cache-3 FileKey2=%AppData%\vlc|*.ini I simply would remove the last line FileKey2 with the .ini in it. It is there that the configuration is stored. Also, the custom menu layout is stored in this ini file. FileKey1 with the cache stuff is just fine. Please leave it as such. I supposed I got pissed because I didn't fully review what the new entries did, and lost my custom setup. I don't believe CCleaner should do anything to reset applications to their default installation state. But this isn't as bad as the itunes entry (from a previous winapp2.ini) that erased all the playlist files. Some folks put hours and days into making custom lists for all sorts of occasions. And to wipe them out? Who's the asshat that thunked that one up?? While backing them up is easy as exporting them, I bet a lot of folks don't bother. It's easy enough to kill them in itunes anyways. Not only that, the entry kills the library and backup. You might as well have installed iTunes on a fresh PC - so bad this is. Potentially screwing you out of hundreds or thousands of dollars of purchased music and other media. Not to mention the time put into building a digital music library over the years. My iTunes playlist/library is 7 years old and has grown to 25,000 songs and 80 playlists for all occasions. And to kill it with misplaced checkmark? GOOD GOD!!! Well thanks to backups from the previous week, no big deal for me. It cost me about 1 hour to restore stuff. But whatabout other folks? There's gonna be an ohh-s**t moment sooner or later. I know it's good practice to check stuff out prior to using it, but when you have backups you're golden, and ya' can do things that are more risky. And you get stupid. Besides, why ohh why would you want to return iTunes to it's default state with every run of CCleaner? Here's the offender! I don't recall immediately if it is in the current winapp2.ini or not. [iTunes Library & Playlist*] LangSecRef=3023 DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe Default=False FileKey1=%Music%\iTunes|iTunes Music Library.xml FileKey2=%Music%\iTunes|iTunes Library.itl Don't get me wrong, I love all the work being put into winapp2.ini and suggest we continue on as we have been.

Moderators Nergal Posted November 30, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2011 Still, most people are not running on an SSD just yet, and even more are direly uninformed as to what the prefetch does and why you shouldn't play with it. I agree. I think A Better place for that would be a seperate thread, With A Title Like "SSD Drives Run Better/Longer without superfetch". In which you describe the "disable defrag & prefetch on SSD" reasoning (with links to reputable sources which agree). As well, talk about that prefetch files are left behind and can be permanently removed via that entry. If you are detailed in your thread and Take the time to make is abundantly clear that This advice is ONLY FOR SSD-as-sytem-drive Users Piriform does not (as with any winapp2 entry) provide support for the misuse then I see no reason not to have it be a stickied thread. However it would be up to you (at least at first) to catch any questions in the thread ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

SMalik Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Well, I'm not sure about the Apple entry 'cause I don't have iTunes installed (just remember you saying so). If someone could test it, would be nice. And for the Prefetch; as said built-in entry cleans only XP, and yes I've read about it's affects to performance, if cleaned often. Also, if you disable Superfetch (like you should if using SSD), Windows doesn't remove the Prefetch files. I don't recommend Apple Installation Temp entry. I have tried R-Wipe&Clean (http://www.r-wipe.co..._Download.shtml). That program does wipe Prefetch data. I asked the developer that how safe is to wipe the Prefetch data since Superfetch service is running. They said there is no harm to remove Layout.ini file and .pf files from Prefetch directory.

nodles Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Ok. I'll keep both entries for myself (probably unticked as default, this would be helpful: http://forum.pirifor...showtopic=34295), Apple-entry is pretty safe for me 'cause almost none of the PC's I clean have it installed (or should have it installed).
