I would like to propose that we stop adding items that reset user settings and other things such as window sizes, etc. back to DEFAULT. There is not anything much more frustrating than having to track down why settings will not stay set or windows that are sized to my preference will not stay set as I want them. In my opinion this is not the function of CCleaner. It is a junk/trash cleanup tool, not a utility to manage settings on user systems. Again, JMO But then again, it is a strongly felt opinion about this And if the group accepts this "restriction", then please remove the following items from Winapp2.ini [MS Management Console More*] [stored Explorer View Settings*]

Modified Entry: [Action Center*] Removed RegKey1 and RegKey3 and removed Warning Message to stop resetting user settings for the Action Center [Action Center*] LangSecRef=3025 Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Default=False FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\ActionCenterCache|*.*|RECURSE RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Action Center\Providers\EventLog RegKey2=HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Security and Maintenance\Providers\EventLog

I tested and examined the registry on three different Windows 10x64 Pro systems after connecting and disconnecting 3 Sandisk Extreme Flash Drives, 1 WD Passport drive, and 1 Samsung T3 SSD. The "KnownDevices" registry key was non-existent on all of these systems. I know that AutoPlay was on because it opened File Explorer to show the device contents on all the USB 3.0 devices. This is with Build 14393.693 and Insider Build 15042 of Windows 10x64 Pro.

Modified Entry: [AutoPlay Devices*] Added DetectOS=|6.2 The RegKey1 entry does not appear to exist in the Windows 10 registry. At least it doesn't on my Windows 10x64 Pro systems. There is a Settings>Devices>Autoplay setting provided in Windows 10. Edited on 27-Feb: Changed DetectOS=|6.1 to DetectOS=|6.2 [AutoPlay Devices*] LangSecRef=3025 DetectOS=|6.2 Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Warning=This will clear out devices and drives from AutoPlay that you've connected to your computer. Default=False RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\KnownDevices

Modified Entry: [Recent Items More*] Removed Warning message and removed FileKey1 to prevent removing user added/pinned items to the Quick Access of Windows 10 File Explorer. [Recent Items More*] LangSecRef=3025 DetectFile=%AppData%\Microsoft\windows\recent\customdestinations Default=False FileKey1=%AppData%\Microsoft\windows\recent\customdestinations|*.*|RECURSE

Or perhaps we could start a campaign to convince the developers of CCleaner to implement a "Delete on Reboot" option that could be used in the cleaning code. Say call it |REBOOT| that could be used along side |REMOVESELF| and |RECURSE|. Then the files would be deleted the next time the user reboots the computer.

I feel that this entry is something that will not be used by Winapp2.ini users because it doesn't work on normal CCleaner executions and going into Safe Mode is not a tactic that most users enjoy doing.

Also, I feel that [Favicons*] is an unfriendly entry in Winapp2.ini and removes favicons that users do not want removed. JMO

In my opinion, [FlashPlayer Settings*] and [Adobe Flash Player Settings*] should be removed from Winapp2.ini. I do not think users really want to remove their FlashPlayer settings once they customize them to meet their security needs on their systems. This is somewhat like removing backups via Winapp2.ini for registry cleaners. Plus [FlashPlayer Settings*] doesn't work on the latest versions of Google Chrome anyhow.

Modified Entry: [Flasher Player SharedObjects*] Added ExcludeKey1 to prevent resetting the FlashPlayer settings in Google Chrome. [FlashPlayer SharedObjects*] LangSecRef=3029 SpecialDetect=DET_CHROME Detect1=HKCU\Software\Torch Detect2=HKCU\Software\SuperBird Default=False FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Amigo\User Data\*\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects|*.*|RECURSE FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\Chrome Plus\User Data\*\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects|*.*|RECURSE FileKey3=%LocalAppData%\Chromium\User Data\*\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects|*.*|RECURSE FileKey4=%LocalAppData%\Flock\User Data\*\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects|*.*|RECURSE FileKey5=%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome*\User Data\*\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects|*.*|RECURSE FileKey6=%LocalAppData%\Rockmelt\User Data\*\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects|*.*|RECURSE FileKey7=%LocalAppData%\SRWare Iron\User Data\*\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects|*.*|RECURSE FileKey8=%LocalAppData%\SuperBird\User Data\*\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects|*.*|RECURSE FileKey9=%LocalAppData%\Torch\User Data\*\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects|*.*|RECURSE ExcludeKey1=FILE|%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome*\User Data\*\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects\*\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\|settings.sol

If we really want to help many end users (and potential users) of Winapp2.ini, we should come up with a user friendly, easy-to-install/use tool that: 1. Downloads the latest winapp2.ini 2. Merges in the user's custom.ini 3. Organizes the entries in alphabetical order. 4. Runs a TRIM to match the user's system (no user interaction required) 5. Stores the newly trimmed winapp2.ini in the CCleaner folder ---- all steps performed automatically....from start to finish. Such a tool would most likely significantly increase the usage of winapp2.ini, particularly if it worked on XP, 7/8/10. IF I had the expertize to do it, I would, but I don't. That would negate any need to worry about "obsolete" entries in winapp2.ini. Again, JMO

And how many people globally are still running Windows XP ?? There are a lot of people who just cannot afford to keep paying third party vendors for their annual release fee and list of trivial enhancements. JMO

The file you posted is not winapp2.ini. It looks like you downloaded the wrong file github. You need to download the RAW version of winapp2.ini from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/master/Winapp2.ini I have attached a pic that shows the beginning of the proper winapp2.ini file. Once the html page opens showing the winapp2.ini file, do a <select all><copy>. Then open Notepad and paste winapp2.ini into a blank Notepad page. Save the Notepad document as Winapp2.ini into the CCleaner folder

Yes, it (CCleaner v5.25.5902 + the latest winapp2.ini) is working fine for me on all of my computers which are all Windows 10 x64 Pro and different hardware platforms. Zip your winapp2.ini and attach it to a post here so I can take a look at it. I assume that you use "trim.bat" to reduce the size of the big winapp2.ini to match your system, eh ? You didn't accidentally put it in your C:\program files\CCleaner as winapp2.txt, did you?

When you open CCleaner and select "Cleaner" on the left icon bar and then the "Applications" tab, there are no items with an * showing up in the list? If there are, you have to check mark the ones you want to use.

Yep! It will be awhile before V3 is fully functional. Was surprised that it got released so quickly during the beta testing cycle.
