  1. Many do. Especially the year named versions as they're usually giveaway versions, not 'always free' versions (even though they technically are, they're not publicised as such to potential users). And newer is not always better. I used an old version of Burning Studio for years, cos the newer version added a load of bloat and functions I didn't need, was about ten times the size, and made a simple job complicated. It sometimes seems like there's an OCD file size obsession when it comes to winapp2, even at the cost of functionality.
  2. Actually that's not true. The portable version has always been available immediately. IMO this is a dumb move and will just lead to portable users running old versions if every time they get notification of an update, no update is available to download. I get the reason why they hold back the slim version, but doing so with the portable version makes no sense. If you use the installed version, you can use the full installer if you don't wanna wait. You don't have that option if you use the portable version.
  3. I've just discovered this program for the first time elsewhere, was about to post about it here after freeing up 5gb of space on my drive with it! Why is this program not more widely known?! (or perhaps, why doesn't Windows periodically free up this space itself). Great little program
  4. 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
  5. Doesn't constantly changing names also bloat the ccleaner.ini file over time, as all the old names and their setting will be saved in the ccleaner.ini, even if the entry is no longer present in winapp2?
  6. No. The file starts GUT followed by 4 numbers and letters (mine is GUT37E2.tmp)
  7. These entries can probably be removed I think. Soluto is dead and, as far as I remember, required connection to their (also now dead) servers to work [Soluto Cache*] LangSecRef=3024 Detect=HKLM\Software\Soluto Default=False FileKey1=%CommonAppData%\Devices|*.* FileKey2=%CommonAppData%\Soluto\IconCaching|*.* FileKey3=%CommonAppData%\Soluto\rdcache|*.*|RECURSE FileKey4=%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\ProgramData\Devices|*.* FileKey5=%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\ProgramData\Soluto\IconCaching|*.* FileKey6=%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\ProgramData\Soluto\rdcache|*.*|RECURSE [Soluto Dumps*] LangSecRef=3024 Detect=HKLM\Software\Soluto Default=False Warning=This will remove Soluto's dump files.

  8. What is stored in that backups folder???
  9. I didn't think so, I don't even have any Windows Live stuff installed as far as I can tell. Only discovered them after trying out a rival program yesterday. Another rival I tried found me those missed Manycam entries. Sometimes it pays to sleep with the enemy
  10. Has anyone tried deleting the files at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Windows Live\.cache? Seems to be a load of cached installers that haven't been modified since Windows install?
  11. Added detect2 and filekey2 to this (detects and cleans the last unwatermarked free version that many use): [ManyCam Thumbnails*] LangSecRef=3023 Detect1=HKLM\Software\ManyCam Detect2=HKCU\Software\ManyCam Default=False FileKey1=%AppData%\ManyCam\Settings\MoviesThumbnails|*.*|RECURSE FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\ManyCam\cache\gallery|*.*|RECURSE
  12. I was all set to disagree, till you pointed me in the direction of the relevant post. Surely the simple solution for those entries is to just untick the "not older than 24 hours" box in CC's options, not add additional entries to winapp2 when the capability is already present within CC. So, short answer - I agree
  13. Yup. My routine is usually - try it, disable it, see it removed by Mozilla a few versions later.
  14. When will they learn. They keep adding tat/features to the browser, then removing them a few versions later to 'streamline' cos no one used it. And a screenshots tool? Might have been groundbreaking 10-15 years ago, but now? I really do wonder about the brains at Mozilla (or if there are any!)
  15. Those PCMatic guys being classy again at the merest hint of blood in a competitor - CCleaner "RIDDLED With Malware". "2 Billion devices exposed" Surely this being emailed out to millions today, when the facts proving it wrong were available a week ago ("2.27 million people used the affected software" - Piriform blog, September 18, 2017) is borderline defamation?
  16. Is there a separate collection of language file entries for winapp2?
  17. To be fair, you could say that about any dodgy entry
  18. A quick search of this thread will show you that wmdb files have been added, caused issues, been removed. Added, caused issues, been removed. Added, caused issues, been removed. You get the idea. So probably not one for the winapp2 file.
  19. Is this where I get to feel smug for holding off updating to 55
  20. I know, hence why I suggested keeping a backup of your FF54 profile
  21. Might be worth saving a backup of your FF54 profile folder before updating to FF55 so you can still go back a version if buggy. Or, more likely, still be able to switch to ESR and delay the web exts bomb of FF57 for a year or so (I might even run two profiles from 55 onwards, one ESR and one RC, just to cover all bases lol)
