I have resorted to using Malwarebytes' FileAssassin to clear out locked log files that keep growing. I set up a FileAssassin task in the Task Scheduler to flag the log file to be deleted on reboot. These tasks run at a specific time of day (ex: 3:00 a.m.). Below are a couple of examples of the program scripts used in the Task Scheduler. These "Run with highest privileges" as a scheduled task. "C:\Program Files (x86)\FileASSASSIN\FileASSASSIN.exe" /onreboot /silent c:\Windows\debug\WIA\wiatrace.log "C:\Program Files (x86)\FileASSASSIN\FileASSASSIN.exe" /onreboot /silent c:\programdata\Western Digital\Logs\WD Backup\WD Backup.log This is a crude method but it works.

By clearing "FeatureControl" entirely/completely, the question in my mind is what about those entries that are there for programs that are currently installed?

One detect works for me.

I added HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders to the CCleaner Exclude option and that prevents this cleaning code from deleting File Explorer's view settings and user added columns. And it allows cleaning all the other keys that you rightfully are concerned about. How about modifying [Windows Shellbags*] to Added ExcludeKey1/2 and eliminated the warning [Windows ShellBags*] LangSecRef=3025 Detect1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Detect2=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam Default=False RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU RegKey2=HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags RegKey3=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU RegKey4=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags ExcludeKey1=REG|HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell ExcludeKey2=REG|HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\AllFolders\Shell

But is that the real purpose/function of CCleaner? I've always felt that CCleaner's purpose for the general public is to remove junk files (and registry keys) that are no longer used/needed by the user's system.

The [Windows Shellbags*] re-addition is another one of those irritating "Why is my File Explorer not maintaining the view settings I set up for it?" items that filter into Winapp2.ini. It causes the view size of File Explorer to go back to the default and also removes any user added columns from a user's File Explorer. I know there is a warning message in the code; however, I do not think registry key cleaning benefits warrant the potential user irritation factor from having to spend time figuring out why view settings are not be retained....particularly if a user is not really computer savvy. My vote is to take [Windows Shellbags*] back out. And I would like to see [MS Notepad*] for the same reason. JMO.
