  1. Thanks Miroku444, I have successfully placed the latest file in my CCleaner installation folder and it is working a treat! Absolutely fascinating. Thank you very much for your prompt and 'plain English' answer. Very much appreciated. Cheers, bdh

    No problem.

     

    Just bookmark this thread, and check back once in a while for updates. Remember to bookmark it on the 1st page so you go to the first page every-time you click on the bookmark.

  2. Thanks for the prompt reply Atom & Back_Track,

     

    I'm still a bit unsure of what I need to actually do to apply this Winapp2 file to my setup. From what I've read I must place the .ini file in the CCleaner folder. However I can't seem to find anything clearly identified as the latest version to download. I've found different links/things emanating from this Piriform site but some of them have different amounts of text in them (simple updates?). I even found a zip file here but that didn't have any program info in it. For a non-techy this is just too hard. Is it meant to be so geekish people like me are precluded from having the best? Can anyone please actually point me to a simple download with the latest full ini file, a place I can go to to check often for the latest version? Or is this only the exclusive realm of the mysterious CCenhancer? Somebody please put me out of my misery! Cheers, bdh.

    See my post above. The latest winapp2.ini file is found on the first page. Its update date is November 4'th, 2010, its the latest version. Just right click on the link and hit save link as, and it will save it as an .ini file. Or you could just click on the link, hit select all(Then copy) in your browser, then paste all the text into a text file. Then you have to change the file extension to .ini. The save link as is 10X easier though.

  3. Hi all,

     

    I'm relatively new here but have used CCleaner for years happily. A lot of the content of this thread has gone over my head but I think it is the right thread in which to ask my question, as it looks like you guys are the 'creme de la creme' of the gurus here. I came across a mention of a free product called CCenhancer which I understand 'turbocharges' CCleaner. My questions are: is it safe, do you guys use it, does it work? I know it is not officially endorsed by Piriform but it looks to give CCleaner support for another 170 or so programs in terms of cleanup.

     

    BTW, is this 'winapp2.ini' file mentioned in this thread updated each time I update CCleaner? I think so but just want to check. From my reading here I should update it even more frequently than a regular CCleaner update. Is CCenhancer meant to replace this 'winapp2.ini' file or complement it? As you can see I'm a bit confused.

     

    Sorry if this isn't relevant here or off topic. Thanks for your patience. Cheers, bdh

     

    P.S: I did do a search for CCEnhancer on this forum but nothing came up. Hope I did the search properly!

     

     

    CCEnhancer is a small program that downloads and installs the latest Winapp2.ini file to your CCleaner program folder. The winapp2.ini file is a file that adds support for more programs in terms of cleanup. In other words you'll be able to clean more crap off you pc. I dont think CCEnhancer installs itself to your pc, you have to run the exe file every-time you want to update the Winapp2.ini file. Thats why i just update the Winapp2.ini file manually, and put the Winapp2.ini file in my ccleaner program file folder myself.

     

    As for winapp2.ini' file being updated each time CCleaner is updated, the answer is no. CCEnhancer is not officially part of CCleaner, its not endorsed by piriform. So no it wont. When i un-install an old ccleaner and install a new one, i move the Winapp2.ini file to my desktop beforehand. Then after i un-install the old cccleaner and in-stall the new version, i move the Winapp2.ini file back from the desktop to the ccleaner program folder.

     

    Is it safe, do i use it? Yes i use it, and its fairly safe, but there's no 100% guarantees its totally safe.

  4. Everyone, Just a thought, of course, and I'm super glad to see all these new people submitting entries :) ; however, so as not to overbloat the winapp2, and this thread, be sure that the software you suggest is something you feel at least a medium population might be running.

     

    Good suggestion, but Winapp2.ini could weed out the less desirable ones when he updates the Winapp2.ini., and maybe trim it once in a while. Also who uses the full Winapp2.ini anyway? I just use it as a resource for making my personal Winapp2.ini. Picking and choosing ones that apply to me.

  5. What do you mean? he just updated yesterday, please keep in mind that Winapp2.ini (the person) is a volunteer, has a life outside of making this file and is under no obligation to maintain the file, he does this at his own volition and his own speed. If you feel a update is needed, add the entry you want to your personal winapp2 file.

     

    Please think a little less selfishly next time. Sorry if this seems mean, but your curt request came off a bit :unsure:

    Exactly. All you have to do is add the new stuff that applies to you, to the latest update. Thats what i did. You don't need an update everyday.

  6. Just a suggestion Winapp2.ini, when you update the file could you please edit post #1 in this topic with something like:

     

    Latest winapp2.ini file version:

    then post in the download link

     

    That way the download link would always be in post #1 without having to search the whole topic for any new versions you've updated. Might help to put a version number or date on it too, just a suggestion.

    Also, it be cool if the date and a version # was included in the actual winapp.ini file itself. Like this:

  7. I noticed some stuff the adobe flash player script doesn't clean. Should they be cleaned? What do you guys think?

     

    Heres where they are(XP):

     

    c:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\

    c:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\Sys\

     

    c:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache\9KPR9GKT\

     

    So can we delete these??

  9. This looks kinda dangerous. Backups from reg cleaners shouldn't be deleted =/

    That's what i'm thinking. Why would you want to get rid of a backup-anyhow? If your did, you can get rid of them from in the program.

  10. I improved the Auslogic free Utilities entry. I added the removal of logs for the Disk Defrag. So now it removes the logs and reports.

     

     

    [Auslogics Free Utilities*]
    ; Disk Defrag, Registry Defrag, and System Information
    LangSecRef=3024
    Detect=HKCU\Software\Auslogics
    Default=False

    FileKey2=%appdata%\Auslogics\Disk Defrag\Logs|*.*
    FileKey3=%appdata%\Auslogics\Registry Defrag\Logs|*.*
    FileKey4=%appdata%\Auslogics\Registry Defrag\Reports|*.*
    FileKey5=%appdata%\Auslogics\System Information\Reports|*.*

     

     

    Question!! If i don't have Registry Defrag or System Information on my system, can i delete those lines in the winapp2.ini?? Also when i added the line for the removal of the logs i re-ordered the numbers on the filekeys. Is that alright? Was filekey 1,2,3,4,...Now its 1,2,3,4,5. I kept the programs alphabetized, and just re-ordered the numbers 1,2,3,4,5.

  11. I'm assuming the bottom one is the corrected one?

    The program files directory is right, just can locate those files. Is it because i dont have vista or windows 7 or some feature of jv16 im not using?

  13. I dont have UltraISO, what needs to be changed/removed/added from that entry? or does a whole new entry need to be created?

     

    It says the version is 5 in the Winapp2.ini. UltraISO is on version 9.

     

     

    I saw the JV16 power Tools in the Winapp2.ini also, but the currant version of JV16 power Tools is 2010, not 2009.

  14. There's no difference. Which is why I posted a suggestion to remove WFS from the Cleaner section. ;)

    Id rather still have it there, as im staying out of the drive wiper section. If i accidentally hit wipe everything, i would die.

  15. I got a question about drive wiper. What is the difference between using the wipe free space in the drive wiper .VS the wipe free space under the windows tab? Do they do the same thing??

     

    Also i noticed a graphic mistake in the ccleaner icon. Missing some red here. Looks like it wasn't totally filled in.

  16. We've added a quick check during the install process to make sure users are installing the latest version. This will help reduce our workload when people report bugs for old versions that have already been fixed :)

    Ok, that makes sense. So, if i was installing an old version it would let me know there's a newer version available. Would it let me still install the old version?

  17. I just installed the latest CCleaner (2.29.1111), and noticed a different install behavior. I checked off all the options i wanted like no automatic updates, no ccleaner in the recycle bin, no yahoo tool bar, etc.. Then i hit install and it poped up a firewall warning. The install file was trying to connect to the internet. The install progress window said something about updates. I don't understand if i unchecked automatic updates, why is it trying to connect to the internet? I don't think this ever happen before?

  18. I did a Wipe Free space with CCleaner. Then I did a scan with Recuva, and it still found deleted files. Shouldn't a Wipe Free space have deleted all the deleted files? I even got rid of them with recuva and more seem to show up after. Im not talking about the MFT files.
