Where should Bit Zipper show up?
Under what category ?

I need help to create an entry for Winapp2.ini. I am listing a reg path here where "CaptureCount" is a DWORD value. I like to reset the value data to 00000000. Is there a way to do that? I don't want to delete the value.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TechSmith\SnagIt\10
"CaptureCount"=dword:00000011
Thank you.
You can do that with VBScript and run it from Ccleaner like this:
' add a scriptkeyX entry to the SnagIt cleaner code '[snagIt 10...] 'Detect=HKCU\Software\TechSmith\SnagIt\10 'ScriptKey1=SNAGIT.VBS ' ' save the folowing code as SNAGIT.VBS ' ccleaner has already checked that SnagIt 10 is installed SET sh=CreateObject("WScript.Shell") sh.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\TechSmith\SnagIt\10\CaptureCount", 0, "REG_DWORD" SET sh=Nothing -
You're quite welcome, though I can't take credit since it is fueled by the community.
To answer your question, probably!
I too want to thank you for maintaining winapp2.ini.
I was about to suggest Several sections including the OpenOffice 3.2 section be removed
from winapp2.ini when I saw the above post.
The OO 3 section in winapp2.ini actually won't work because the path is incorrect.
And it goes after the wrong file, anyway.
OO 3 cleaning has been discussed elswhere on the forum.
I believe deleting custom.xcu gives people problems in OO 3.
So you may want to review the "OpenOffice 3" section in winapp.ini before adding support for OpenOffice 3.3 in winapp2.ini.
Anyway, Here are a few winapp2.ini sections that seem to be duplicated in Ccleaner.
My apologies if you have addressed some of them already.
Remove Sections That Are In CCleaner Already: ********* Already In Winsys.Ini [MS Direct Draw*] In [Other Explorer MRUs] [MS Windows Wallpaper*] In [Other Explorer MRUs] ********* Already In Winapp.Ini [Acronis True Image Home*] [Azureus*] As [Vuze] [Google Calendar Sync*] [Media Player Classic Recent Files List*] In [Media Player Classic] [MS Office Publisher 2003*] In [Office 2003] Section [OpenOffice 3.2*] In [OpenOffice 3] Section [Opera 9 (Classic)*] [Outlook 2003*] In [Office 2003] Section [WinRAR History*] In [WinRAR] ** Covered In Winreg.ini ** [MUICache*]
Also, you've cleaned up quite a few errors but a few still remain.
Search for the offending line listed and make the recommended change if you agree.
Fix Misspellings & Other Errors: **** Remove Duplicate Line: RegKey5=HKCU\Software\Poikosoft\Easy CD-DA Extractor 8|k92 **** should be FileKey4= FileKey3=%AppData%\Everest Labs\Spydefense|Backups.ini **** should be %systemdrive% ( %rootdir% doesn't work) FileKey1=%rootdir%|SCANDISK.LOG **** should be RECURSE FileKey2=%Public%\games\World of Warcraft\Errors|*.lua.bak|RECUSE **** should be Software RegKey1=HKCU\Sofrware\Nico Mal Computing\WinZip\Mru **** should be simply DetectFile DetectFile1=%UserProfile%\My Documents\IISExpress **** should be LangSecRef= Section=3024 **** should be %UserProfile%\Music FileKey2=%UserProfile%\My Music\CDDB|*.txt **** should be %UserProfile%\Videos FileKey2=%UserProfile%\My Videos\DivX Movies|*.*|RECURSE
Thanks again.

I notice that both Adobe Acrobat 8.0 and Adobe Reader 8.0 are listed in the Applications to clean. However, I only appear to have the Reader installed, not Acrobat.
Just wondered why this is? (Only noticed this recently.)
It appears to be due to a change in the detection rules
for Adobe Reader 8.0 & Adobe Acrobat 8.0 where the AVGeneral
subkey is removed.
<! = old version !> = ccleaner version 3.03 [Adobe Reader 8.0] <! Detect=HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AVGeneral !> Detect=HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0 [Adobe Acrobat 8.0] <! Detect=HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\AVGeneral !> Detect=HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0
If I'm correct you do not have this registry key ending in AVGeneral.
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\AVGeneral
The same may apply to Adobe Reader 9.0 & 10.0 plus the just added
Adobe Acrobat 9.0 & 10.0.
But I'm not certain.

I have looked on my system and can confirm that I don't have the MS Search Helper Extension installed.
CCleaner 3.03.1366 still shows this in the Application list though for me (as also mentioned in the link posted by Andavari above).
Is this a bug?
It shows up for me as well.
It appears to be a typo in the winapp.ini.
[MS Search Helper Extension] ... Detection=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft\Search Enhancement Pack\Search Helper ...
That should be Detect= not Detection=.
-
It's not intuitive but you can do what you want through the ui.
Add the folder.
Click "file types". (The OK button is still disabled.)
Enter just a dot . in the edit box. (The OK button is enabled.)
Click OK.
Your entry will be saved like this.
PATH|C:\WINDOWS\Temp\|6035AFDD-C55A-4C97-A6F1-3BD03CFA2A60-Sigs
Not the same as your code above, though. Note the placement of the pipe.
Again, it's not intuitive.
-
That would be %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop OR %PUBLIC%\Desktop.
This MSDN article may be helpful.
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop should work on all windows.

You perhaps haven't looked lately,
unicows.dll v1.1.3790 comes standard with all ccleaner installs.
The best advise for any win9x, if that exact version isn't
present in the system directory make it so Mr. Don.
No registration needed, your customers will not complain.
For usb support in win9x there are several answers.
But NUSB 3.3 is a very mature & stable package
that also adds USB2.0 support. I use it when needed.

Nice work Winapp2.ini.
This just jumped out to me, though.
[*CleanMyPC Registry Cleaner (Backups)] LangSecRef=3024 DectectFile=%ProgramFiles%\CleanMyPC\Registry Cleaner\rcleaner.exe DetectFile=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CleanMyPC\Registry Cleaner\rcleaner.exe Default=True FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\CleanMyPC\Registry Cleaner\UndoCenter|*.* FileKey2=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CleanMyPC\Registry Cleaner\rcleaner.exe
FileKey2 will not give the desired result I think.

I don't want to run you folks off the road here,
but as you say at the top, the files you'ld like to keep are link files
located in the recent files directory.
You obviously can see hidden files because you can
navigate to your recent files directory and see desktop.ini.
So here's the deal.
Windows has super hidden file extensions; .lnk is 1 of those.
As you know the recent files collection are just links to the real files.
(You intimate that understanding in the top post.)
On disk they have the ".lnk" file extension.
".lnk" is not visible because it is super hidden.
(The RECENT link could be called "importantinfo.doc.lnk")
The link files you want to preserve have the file extension .lnk.
Light bulb ... ?
Here are the excludes.. ccleaner is not at fault here and neither are you.
*.doc.lnk
*.jpg.lnk
*.bmp.lnk
Upper/lower case is not an issue.
So double check what I say.
You can do this yourself.
---------
open ccleaner -> navigate to the exclude screen.
open windows explorer -> navigate to the recent files directory
drag a file from the recent files directory in explorer into ccleaner's exclude box
click OK at the ccleaner prompt
-
NOW
Check the file extension in ccleaner's exclude dialog.
Hmm.. *.*.lnk be it should
manual edit the filename portion to be just an asterisk
and repeat the process for the other two file types.
--------
Peace.

Since this topic is pinned, I think it would be a great idea if I just posted here the (my) winapp2.ini sections for Chromium and Comodo Dragon, just in case somebody else asks for them.
Note: If you use these two (or more) at the same time, make sure to rename the stuff between [ ], because CCleaner will not show/clean them if they have the same name!
You are right on metalj. The same name is an issue.
The saved settings for SRWare Iron look like this..
(App)Cache=True
(App)Cookies=True
(App)Internet History=True
(App)Current Session=True
(App)Last Session=True
(App)Form Data=True
And if the Comodo Dragon & Chromium cleaners are added to winapp2.ini
they will overwrite each other because the headings
(Cache,Cookies,etc..) are the same.
CCleaner has a built in solution. The "Langref" keyword.
As used in the product Langref points to internal strings by number,
but CCleaner also accepts a literal string such as: LangRef=Cache
And "Cache" is what will be displayed in the UI.
Try it with SRWare Iron.
Change section headings like this.
[*SRWare Iron - Cache]
[*SRWare Iron - Cookies]
[*SRWare Iron - Internet History]
[*SRWare Iron - Current Session]
[*SRWare Iron - Last Session]
[*SRWare Iron - Form Data]
Add the LangRef keyword to each section substituting the
original heading to the right of the equals sign.
LangRef=Cache
LangRef=Cookies
LangRef=Internet History
LangRef=Current Session
LangRef=Last Session
LangRef=Form Data
The first SRWare Iron section would end up like so..
[*SRWare Iron - Cache]
Section=SRWare Iron
LangRef=Cache
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\SRWare Iron\Iron.exe
Default=True
FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Chromium\User Data\Default\Cache|*.*
Your "LangRef" words will appear in the UI but CCleaner will store
the settings in ccleaner.ini or registry like this..
(App)*SRWare Iron - Cache=True
(App)*SRWare Iron - Cookies=True
(App)*SRWare Iron - Internet History=True
(App)*SRWare Iron - Current Session=True
(App)*SRWare Iron - Last Session=True
(App)*SRWare Iron - Form Data=True
Apply the same logic to Comodo Dragon & Chromium and they
all will peacefully coexist within the same winapp2.ini.

According to this post - scroll down to "CCleaner v2.29"
http://www.piriform.com/blog/ccleaner
... Multiple File Types in one Include/Exclude entry Prior to CCleaner v2.29, if you wanted to specify file types in CCleaner's INI file using Include or Exclude, you had to specify each file type on a separate line. This had the effect of slowing CCleaner down, since it had to run multiple scans. With v2.29, you can now specify multiple file types within a single Include or Exclude line. Here's the syntax: IncludeX=TYPE|Path|extension[;extension][|RECURSE] ...
This works in winapp2.ini as well.
Try this syntax:
FileKeyx=path|file1.ext;file2.ext
Since the blog post doesn't specify I guess I should ask
if this is a supported use of this feature.
-
Hi there, pls allow user to paste a very long path in the "Option | Include | Add | Drive or Folder" rather request user to dig deep into a folder from the tree.
Try this. Just drag and drop the folder into CCleaner. Answer yes to the dialog.
Edit your new entry to confirm the choices are as you wish.
Since you have located the folder..no reason to copy to the clipboard..just drop it into the include box.

CCleaner hasn't had any direct support for Office 2000.
I use these in my winapp2.ini.

That could be incomplete or it may do too much for your liking.

Please, can someone confirm this bug, or did I do something wrong?
Regards,
Mike
No your example is good. I see the same thing.
I figured the authors would test so I looked into the embedded winapp.ini for a real life trial and found
[sun Java]ID=2094LangSecRef=3022Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-inDefault=TrueFileKey1=%appdata%\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache|*.*|RECURSEFileKey2=%appdata%\Sun\Java\Deployment\javaws\cache|*.*|RECURSE
This works as you would think.
A couple of tries later I came to the conclusion that the 2 different paths before the file mask were the key.
So, going back to your 1st example I made this change to the "FileKey2" line.
[Test]FileKey1=C:\test|name.txt|RECURSEFileKey2=C:\test.\|name.ext|RECURSE
Both lines were processed.
If this is accurate the [CA Anti-Virus] section in the embedded winapp.ini should fail
to process some action keys as well. Here's a fragment.
[CA Anti-Virus]...FileKey4=%commonappdata%\CA\Consumer\AV|*.tmp|RECURSEFileKey5=%commonappdata%\CA\Consumer\AV|*.txt|RECURSEFileKey6=%commonappdata%\CA\Consumer\CCube|*.tmp|RECURSEFileKey7=%commonappdata%\CA\Consumer\CCube|*.txt|RECURSE...

The asset cache feature has been around since v9.0.115.0 (late 2007).
As well the ability to control it from the flash player settings manager.
Link for the settings manager start page:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/document...gs_manager.html
It attempts to explain the settings. On the left are the actual page links
In the Global Storage Settings Panel you can turn the asset cache off by
unchecking "Store common Flash components to reduce download times" and confirming.
A file called cacheSize.txt is immediately created or updated. The contents
of mine is a zero followed by a null. 2 bytes total.
So I leave it alone. So far no more assetcache files and no complaints.
Don't be confused by Adobe's use of the word Global either. It's not Global for
all users of your machine but Global for all Websites for the current user.
If you need/want machine wide control you'll need to create a special
config file. The details can be found in adobe's own documents.
Available here for flash player 8,9
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/ar...admin_guide.pdf
or for flash player 10
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/ar...admin_guide.pdf
(search for "mms.cfg" within the pdfs)
Kind of boring stuff unless you are an admin or very curious.
I also found a .sol file (Local Settings Object) viewer/editor.
Portable Standalone Flash .Sol File Editor (2004)
Developers page: http://solve.sourceforge.net/
Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/solve/
It's a work-in-progress but gets the job done for me.
I just wanted to decode a few files to further my understanding.
Happy to see the .sol file left by the bank was encrypted,
and found out You Tube just wants to know my preffered volume level.
A couple more links.

CCleaner is mentioned several times in the comments. (There are many.)

Nice idea. I too love the product.
You may already know that CCleaner has had
command line secure delete available since v2.15.815.
Invoked like this:
ccleaner.exe /delete "folder\*.*"
or
ccleaner.exe /delete "MyFile.txt"
Quotes are not optional.
I don't have much call for it but I made a short batch file
for just such an occasion. You may like to try it out.
:: CCSHRED.BAT@echo offif not '%1'=='' CCleaner.exe /delete "%1"if '%1'=='' CCleaner.exeexit
If you save this in the ccleaner folder as ccshred.bat then make a
desktop shortcut to it you will have a drop target for
sensitive information.
In essence a desktop shredder with a confirmation dialog.
Albeit 1 file at a time or 1 folder at a time.
Warning: This really is a secure delete.
Since the batch file has the ability to simply run
ccleaner instead. (by double click) I have ditched the default
ccleaner shortcut and customized my shortcut to ccshred.bat
to look and act like the real thing.

That is already taken into consideration.
Simply omit the "Default" keyword.
