I did not join the internet explorer entries because one refers to the Metro app while the other refers to the desktop one.
I included the PRI cache into the Subsystems entry based on this page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj552947.aspx
The Windows AppCache entry is part of Internet Explorer and some Metro apps based on this page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh673545(v=vs.85).aspx
and the path is actually covered by an existing filekey in the Internet Explorer More * entry:
FileKey6=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\*Cache*|*.*|RECURSE

You forgot to change [Internet Explorer More *] to [Internet Explorer *]
I am going to work on this entry because I see some of the stuff is being removed by CCleaner's built-in entry for Internet Explorer. Also, some of the paths/locations in this entry belong to very old versions of Internet Explorer. Should I remove those paths/locations?
Whoever added FileKey6=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\*Cache*|*.*|RECURSE in this entry is wrong. First of all it does not belong to Internet Explorer, It is for Window 8/10 Start Menu entries. Removing all files from here can break Start Menu of Windows 8/10.
There actually already is an Internet Explorer entry in winapp2.ini

How often is the Master file updated?
There is no regular update schedule. The commits I have been linking refer to a branch (Moscadotto-patch-1) that will eventually be merged with the master (and updating the main file with the aggregate of all 25+ commits in the branch), but has not yet been.

Does this location exist on your machine? Several other members have suggested the AppData filekey is invalid.

Some Windows 10 app"s names are changed. Zune Music is "Groove Music" now and Zune Video is "Movies & TV".
Have the paths also changed, or just the app names themselves?

Key might be in use, have you tried ending explorer.exe before cleaning?

BTW why were all the "*" changed to " *", this is going to cause a headache.
Partially for better alphabetization in the CCleaner interface, but also because many entries have been merged together or otherwise heavily modified, and lacking an effective way to communicate these sweeping changes to the end user, changing the name (which will toggle the entry back to disabled) seemed like a good way to indicate that a lot of changes have occurred.
If you're worried about the ccleaner.ini bloat, you can trim it using ccinidebug in the top post. If you're worried about resetting your settings, you can find & replace all the "*" to " *" in ccleaner.ini (this will transition over your old settings to new entries, assuming the name hasn't been otherwise changed other than the added space) -

[Windows Media Player Album Art Cache *] is already in CCleaner.
I think we decided to remove [Windows Media Player MediaGuide *]

https://forum.piriform.com/topic/32310-winapp2ini-additions/?do=findComment&comment=289148There is no harm in adding [MS Word Document Building Blocks *] into [MS Office *].
QuoteI think [iTunes Previous Libraries *] should be included into [iTunes *] entry.
What are previous libraries? I don't use iTunes so I was unsure how to approach this entry, but the entry struck me as a "backups" type of entry so I kept it separate.
QuoteFileKey1=%AppData%\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache|*.*|RECURSE should be removed from [Cached Certification Files *], This location does not exist.
did or does this location exist on any version of Windows 7-10? I don't have it on my Windows10 system either.
QuoteI think previous free versions should be removed.
Any particular reason why? I think now that we've transitioned to merged entries for different versions of the same application (where applicable) it's not so much of a concern to keep outdated versions supported here.
QuoteLooks like you forgot this one.
This entry has changed a bit (merged with some other) as part of the refactor. Could you reevalulate the changes you've made here against that and resubmit?

for [dvdcss *], FileKey1 deletes the folder for the DetectFile. If one uses trim.bat, then the folder may not be present at the time it is trimmed. I'd suggest adding an additional detect for the software like:
[dvdcss *] LangSecRef=3023 Detect=HKCU\Software\DVD Decrypter DetectFile=%AppData%\dvdcss Default=False FileKey1=%AppData%\dvdcss|*.*|REMOVESELF FileKey2=%UserProfile%\.dvdcss|*.*|REMOVESELFThis way it will always be picked up if the software is present, and if the software is removed, then the leftover folder will also be removed.
the dvdcss folder seems to be created by applications that use libdvdcss so it's a bit hard to find a specific detectfile for it. Given that it's origin is VLC, that might do, but there's a wide variety of applications that use it. It might be more effective here to simply change the REMOVESELF to RECURSE so that the entry is non volatile

I would like to push this update soon: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/blob/02be21a40fc454a0005a5cfef005d0214dd60723/Winapp2.ini

Debugger tool updated: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/tree/master/Tools/WinappDebug
Output should be much more readable and actionable now. Let me know if you run into any errors.
There's also a new revision of the file out for you to inspect: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/blob/227c1e19870d5d6466791610f3c181f672724a29/Winapp2.ini
All the entries have been renamed to end with a " *" instead of a "*"... a side effect of this will be that all your winapp2 settings will be reset after the refactor.

I made some DetectFile tests and found out that wildcards don't work as expected!
Work:
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Test*
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Te*t1
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Test1\program*.exeAll other combinations don't work:
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Test*\
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Test*\program.exe
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\*\program.exeIt seems that a wildcard works only on the last foldername or filename of a path!
I will update WinappDebug to be aware of this soon.

Should I unpin it?
I think so. It's a little easier to keep all the winapp2.ini stuff wrangled into one thread (and github is easier to maintain than disjoint forum threads)

Suggestion: Please PIN your new CCIniDebug.exe tool in the forum like WinAppDebug is highlighted and pinned.
That thread is rather old, the current version of WinappDebug can be found here: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/tree/master/Tools/WinappDebug
I think in lieu of a secondary thread, I'll create readme pages on the github and link them with descriptions in the top level post on this thread.

The refactor is on GitHub as reviewable commits. You can find it here: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/pull/138
Please let me know if there are any glaring errors. Some of the above submissions may not merge well with this, please check against your local file and resubmit anything that is still pending.
Further, many entries have been renamed. If you're worried about ccleaner.ini clutter caused by this, I wrote a tool to prune stale winapp2.ini entries from ccleaner.ini. You can find it here: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/tree/master/Tools/ccinidebug
Place ccinidebug.exe in a folder with both ccleaner.ini and your copy of winapp2.ini. It will compare the list of entries in winapp2.ini to the (App) entries in ccleaner.ini and remove any winapp2.ini entries (detected by their *) that no longer appear in winapp2.ini from ccleaner.ini for you.

Be handy if someone with a bit of scripting knowledge could create a script that alphabetised ccleaner.ini so all the app entries were together
9 hours ago, Andavari said:Absolutely, been wanting that literally for years. Then again the developers could help tremendously by categorizing it so things don't just end up anywhere inside of ccleaner.ini, such as:
[Options]
[App Cleaners]
[User Excludes]
[User Includes]I created a tool for this, you can find it here If you run it in the CCleaner Program Files directory on Windows 10, you must run it as an administrator. It will prune invalid winapp2.ini entries from the file if handed a winapp2.ini file. Use with caution, it only detects entries marked with the winapp2.ini single asterisk for this operation, and will not remove dead winapp.ini entries (of which I wouldn't imagine there are many)
-
Any particular reason why? As it is, Chrome* covers Chrome and Chrome SxS (Chrome Canary)
-
It does, and I imagine that's the intended behavior for CCleaner to preserve the state of entries even when they're not detected.
I re-wrote WinappDebug to be a little more comprehendible, this update includes pipe symbol (enforces a preceeding backslash) tracking for FILE exclude keys, and alphabetization & numbering tracking for excludekeys, detects, and detectfiles in general. Let me know if anything seems amiss.
