Yes that is the answer....
Just tried to reproduce.
I get this error from CCleaner:
Error in file: C:\Program Files\CCleaner\winapp.ini
line: Filekey4=%SystemDrive%\YServer.txt
9 - Index out of interval range (or something similar, my WinXp is italian :-))
Wonder if CCleaner can't (safely) delete any file saved in Root...
-
So, is it reasonably safe to install the supplemental winapp2.ini downloads -- or is this rather risky?
Just installing winapp2.ini is absolutely safe, since the only effect will be the detection
of the applications listed in it. The "risk" (if i may call it in this way
) starts when you click "Run Cleaner" having each box near the applications names checked (Be careful, since they
are all checked by default). Leaving all checkboxes unchecked winapp2.ini (and winapp.ini too)
doesn't have any effect.
So, if you like, you can install winapp2.ini
just for see which ones of your installed applications it can detect.
Then you can click "Analyze" (this also is absolutely safe) and see which files
CCleaner can delete, when (and if) you will decide to click "Run Cleaner"
However, winapp2.ini will can be simply deleted from CCleaner folder,
it doesn't need any real "install/uninstall".

Your Uninstaller leaving empty directories is like 1% of all empty directories, safe and unsafe, which gather up on your system. Plus it's quite easy to determine which are safe and which are not with a simple filter.
P.S. Speaking of Total Uninstall and such...basically they take too much time to install the app. I don't want 100% cleanup. I am quite happy with removal of at least 70% and Your Uninstaller does a fine job. Apart from empty folders.
Try this Glary Utilities has the feature you need
Isn't freeware, 30 days trial.

About Beginners Guide, what do you think about something like this ?
It's just a test, it can be done better
(i had no issues to show at that time, damn!
) -
IMHO the progress bar doesn't show exactly what's happening.
Is useful, but just for show to the user that CCleaner is working
and not freezed, specially when there are a lot of entries to delete.
-
In my experience, many applications need some empty folders. Eg. my Office become "corrupted" and run
his installer when i delete an empty folder of Excel. Many others applications simply recreate their empty folders
at next startup, and in this case the deletion is completely unuseful.
Regarding empty folders left from uninstalled applications, AFAIK usually they aren't empty at all
(log files, lang files, unistallers, etc...)
-
Clicking the "Online Help..." users can access to the Quick Tour, Features, FAQs and Screenshots pages.
IMHO is enough for understand what CCleaner is, and how it works. However, i think that put there (i mean
on the website, not in CCleaner) another link to the online Beginners Guide isn't a bad idea.
-
I am sorry, I didn't mean to have tone that said that CCleaner is not working. I was just wondering if it was suppose to clean that out. But I was still worndering how can I make it open unlimited amount of times?
You can make it getting the unrestricted version, as said on the website:

The question was regarding the Tools>Uninstall section, not the Hotfix uninstallers section of CCleaner.
The uninstall option in the tools section is just the same as uninstalling them through 'Add/Remove programs'. They are there for a reason so don't uninstall them. The delete button there will just delete the entry so it doesn't show up in Add/Remove, also not advisable.
Have a read of the CCleaner beginners guide for a better explanation and any other questions you may have:
http://www.internetrotsyourbrain.com/ccleanerbeginnersguide/
Uhm... sorry, i've misunderstood the question. Uninstall the hotfixes from Tools section
of CCleaner means unistall all the Windows Updates (same can be done from Windows
Control Panel - Add/Remove), while uninstall the hotfixes unistallers means uninstall
the uninstallers only, but keeping all the Updates installed. Isn't?
-
Hello to everybody,
My question: When running the TOOLS section in CCleaner, a lot of Windows hotfix files show in the right window. A LOT!
Should I delete/uninstall them - or would I be running the risk of causing damage to my system? And what about all those Windows Update files that have also accumulated over time? Should they stay - or should they get acquainted with our wonderful CCleaner more closely ? 
Thank you for your suggestions!
Regards, Atnes
As CCleaner says, they are "Hotfix Uninstallers". Deleting them, you will loose the function "Unistall" for
all the updates installed thru WindowsUpdate. I heard some people having trouble with this, in the past
(specially with previous IE7 betas versions, if i'm not wrong). Deleting them, or leaving them alone is your
choice (and your risk, of course)
-
What about to make translations at least of "Quick Tour" pages?
I've tried to do it in italian...
-
what about making skins for CCleaner?
it would make CCleaner more popular
and a whole lot cooler.
wht do you think guyz??
I think is an unuseful complication for an utility used (maybe) half minute every day.
Skins make some sense on browsers, on music/video players, and so on...
Just my opinion
-
This is what i see pressing Edit button there.
(the second field is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WINWORD.EXE" /n )
Hope this help
-
I have completely uninstalled MS office, and reinstalled it to no avail. please any other help would be great.... I don't know what to do and again this is a very important client.
Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > Files Type (or Type Files, i don't know)
Scroll down until you find .doc type file and select it.
Press Advanced button
Check if Open is the default option (written in bold)
Note: I own an italian version of WinXP, so what said above may
sound a little different for you, hope this can make some sense

Agree JDPower,
this is the right path for detect Movie Maker in my registry
Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MM20
(OR)
Detecting the installed .exe:
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\moviemk.exe
IMHO the only entry that can be safely deleted is the last saved file path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MM20\Publish Wizard\MRU List
-
This sound really strange to me
I've never seen Windows Movie Maker mentioned in CCleaner, neither in winapp2.ini.
AFAIK, the only Windows Multimedia application cleaned by default is Media Player.
-
Umm I have the same problem and no malware as I do not have wsaupdater.exe. I restore to previous CC Cleaner and no problem. With CC Cleaner and the advanced options selected as described above then there is a problem.
I do not know why you can not replicate it because it is obvious there are more of us that can than those of us that can not. The problem is in CC Cleaner. That is 100% fact.
L
I have everything checked in Advanced,
except "Menu Order Cache", and all works fine here.
Win XP sp2 fully patched.
CCleaner 1.38.485
-
I ran CCleaner last version in order to find issues.
I checked registry integrity.
There are no problems found.
==========================
Then I ran RegCure.
It found 193 File/Path References.
My question:
Why?
My answer:
Because, as everyone knows, CCleaner isn't the stronger registry cleaner in the world
But it do its job and, most important, is very safe to use. I never had any problem using
CCleaner every day, for years. Can't say the same for other registry cleaners i tried ;-(
-
I suppose the suggestion could be taken two ways. I was thinking klumy meant that Analyze must be ran first, and only then the Run Cleaner button would be available.
It sounds like a good suggestion but only if it's configurable to be disabled in Options as I rarely click upon Analyze - I just trust CCleaner that much and exactly how I have it configured. However I do understand that some people may want to see what will be deleted before committing to the actual deletion process.
IMHO click "Analyze", or "Run" directly, can be an user choice, like actually is.
-
I think this may be very useful for file transfer
Freeware and standalone (no install required)
Due to my poor english, is better if everyone read more
descriptions on the website itself

thanks, hadn't thought of that... a simple rename (dropping the H) didn't work, will now try something more sneaky, rearrange more letters, maybe change the icon... can't think of much else I can do to disguise an exe file, and besides, anything that's this smart will probably be able to see some internal identifier...
back in a bit...
thanks again...
I've read on some italian forum other people that is unable to run both CCleaner and HijackThis too..
If you like, try to download a renamed copy of HJT from my web space:
File name pippo.zip (contains HJT renamed as pippo.exe)
-
Uhm... IMHO in that way you can run only the Cleaner, not the Issues scan/fix.
-
In English, when you say something is "to be" done, it has not happened yet. It will happen in the future.
When you say "to be removed," nothing has been removed yet, but something may be removed in the future.
When you click "Analyze," it says "... to be removed," but it says "Removed Cookie: [ address ]." In that context, the cookie has already been removed, when nothing has happened yet.
That is the bug.
Same thing as well in italian language.
But in my opinion is very difficult misunderstand what's happening, since:
1) The user knows that has pressed the "Analyze" button (and not the Run one)
2) There is a warning that says "xxMB **to be** removed"
3) There is another note that says "Nothing has been removed yet".
IMO is enough for avoid any misunderstanding :-)
I understand perfecly what you mean, but since the two processes, Analize and Run,
are using i suppose the same "routine", i think would be a complication for developers
give future and past to the word "remove".
-
The bug exists in the newest version as well... (see below)
I'm not so familiar with english language, but really can't understand how this
may be considered a bug. There are two strings in headers:
"xxMB to be removed"
and
"Note: No files have been deleted yet"
) starts when you click 
)
Applications not seen

That's a good idea
Why not a number 2 instead of the asterisk? eg [Audacity] - [2-Audacity].
So will be more clear what is related to winapp2.ini
Test (1=winapp.ini 2=winapp2.ini)
