In Winapp3.ini, why is [QuickLaunch *] considered dangerous? This feature was removed in starting with Windows 7. There is a procedure that permits users to add the Quick Launch bar back in, but I suggest that 99.9% of Windows users do not add it back in.
I recommend the name should be [Quick Launch *] because Windows does not refer to it as Quicklaunch, but Quick Launch. I suggest that the code below be added to Winapp2.ini. I am assuming that DetectOS=6.1| means "Show if Windows version is Windows 7 or later".

It might be appropriate to start a different pinned thread on the forum for Winapp3.ini so that users now and in the future do not get confused between what's what and mistakenly grab Winapp3.ini and run it. If you do start a new thread, perhaps you could/would move all previous posts concerning Winapp3.ini from the Winapp2.ini thread to the Winapp3.ini thread. And all the necessary warnings about Winapp3.ini should be part of the first post in the new thread. JMO

If you delete the Installer2 folder, you will no longer be able to uninstall the Nvidia software via Control Panel> Programs and Features should you ever need to manually uninstall it. This does NOT mean that you cannot update to a newer release of the Nvidia software when a newer version becomes available. Also, if you have deleted the Installer2 folder, you can re-install the same/current version of your Nvidia software to rebuild the Installer2 folder so that you can use Control>Programs and Features to uninstall should you need to.
Personally, following an update of the Nvidia software, I always delete the Installer2 folder because of its horrific size. Have done this for years and years on all my systems and have never encounter an operational issue.

winapp2ool.exe has been updated
Something not listed in the changes on the commit (pasted below) is that the application should no longer crash when you hand it an ini with no ; version string in it.
I posted about the command line arguments here: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/issues/200
New: Merge Modes - Merge now has 2 behaviors for dealing with duplicate section names in the two ini files it's merging. The default is Replace & Add, which will replace any sections in the first ini with the section of the same name from the second ini. The other mode will remove any sections with the same names. Enjoy! New: Preliminary support for command line arguments. I'll post a list of these somewhere that isn't this commit message soon. Added basic support for loading winapp2ool with arguments to automate certain tasks. This feature is not fool proof yet (ie. if you try to break it, it will probably break) and for lacking of testing, not necessarily use proof yet either. For this functionality to work, most of the initialization for the modules was rewritten, so most of my testing so far has been to make sure the modules still work for testing the automation (though if the module works then in theory handing it valid command line args should work just as well) CCiniDebug was rewritten to a degree. The prompt to save ccleaner.ini has been removed, and it instead automatically saves its changes back to ccleaner.ini. The prompt to save diff.txt has been removed. It is now available as a menu level toggle instead. [/spoiler]
The new version appears to have corrected the clipping issue. Have not encountered any issues or failures in the new version thus far (Download, Merge, Trim, cciniDebug, WinappDebug, Exist used/tested).

Merge error in Winapp2ool.exe
Attached is a pic that shows that the Merge process in Winapp2ool.exe is clipping off lines at the end of the Merge txt. This is 100% repeatable on my Windows 10x64 Pro systems.

Thanks for the latest 5.41 update. The new "Summary" results page is nice, but the old Advaced Results page was just fine and is no doubt preferred by some of us longtime users.
Some things didn't need improvement
There is an advanced option for results to appear as a file list, please either add an option to get the old advanced summary every run, or at least preserve this user-selection for future runs if manually chosen.
Thanks!
I agree...please add option for "old advanced summary every run".

I think I have an idea of the problem here and have a fix ready. Does your custom.ini have a "; version " string? or any ini comments (lines that start with ; ) at all? If not, try adding one and see if it works. I found a spot in the winapp2file constructor where an exception would occur if handed an inifile object with no comments. If that's the problem, the next build will fix it.
I added a ; Version by Tom comment line and the MERGE worked perfectly. I MERGEd, TRIMmed, WINAPPDEBUGged, and CCINIDEBUGged all in one round.....everything ran exactly as designed. So your "idea" as to what can cause the exception is correct.

And !!! Thanks for the new update and enhancements in winapp2ool.exe. It's turned into a very powerful and useful tool for users of winapp2.ini.

WDI logs is not the only entry in CCleaner or Winapp2.ini that requires system reboot.
WDI logs holds information about the started processes. Uninstalled programs traces stay there unless these logs are removed. Every known privacy cleaner wipes these traces.
Then why make a separate entry? Just leave them in [Windows Logs *] and state that every time a person runs CCleaner, the system should be rebooted. I would like to know what entries in CCleaner (unless you are referring the Advanced category) and Winapp2.ini require a system reboot because I am totally unaware of that requirement on certain entries.
