  1. I use Portable Firefox and the only x86 and x64 versions from PorableAppz are Palemoon and Nightly. X86 flavor satified me for a while since I was on an x86 system. But my wife and daughter left me standing in the dust and they have x64 laptops. I basically want one ZIP file which contains the launcher, plugins and core files and all I need to do is dump the profile folder in the proper spot so it can work on whatever system I place the core files on. I have a tendacy to keep a couple of revs of the portable versions laying around so to troubleshoot if I need to. Oh yeah...the core files are the application files themselves. If you look inside the Firefox Setup file, you fill see a CORE folder, that is what get copied when an update happens.

     

    So what I would like to do is have the FF-x86 Released and WaterFox-x64 together until FF has its own x64

  2. Since I am running 2 different type systems (x86 and x64), I may create a launcher so I can use my same profile/plugins on both platforms and just extract the x86 and x64 core into their own folder. Getting tired of constantly changing folder.

  3. A few years back, my wife had a little too much to drink at my freinds party.....she loves Long Island Ice Teas. Well a few blocks after we left, she said to pull over and couldn't even wait for the window to roll down. Luckily I had llllloooooootttttttssssss of towels in the car. If it wasn't for Oxy Clean, my door would still be smelling like Long Islands Iced Cheese :o

  4. Thanks for the additional info on the #_Exclude.txt....I will do some testing/playing.

     

    Some things I noticed on Trim_9.

    - Is the #TRIMMER folder to be nuked when you start the script? In the previous version, all the files were removed and now I am noticing they are just getting overwritten.

     

    I made a couple of chages in the script I use.

     

    Line 54

    Changed from this: pause

    to this: ECHO( Press any key to continue . . . & pause >nul

     

    Line 139

    Changed from this: SET /P ANS= "D)elete or ®etain child folder .\%WORK%\ : (D or R) ? "

    to this: SET /P ANS= "(D)elete or ®etain child folder .\%WORK%\ : (D or R) ? "

     

    One anomoly that I am not able to isolate is with my Firefox temp files I want to nuke. Sometime the completed INI file contains them and sometimes it does not. I have not been able to figure out why. I am running a Portable version of Firefox and even of the files are/not currently present, I want to make sure they are nuked. These are the sections missing:

     

    [Extensions Logs*]

    LangSecRef=3026

    DetectFile=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox

    Default=False

    FileKey1=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*|extensions.log

     

    [Crash Reports*]

    LangSecRef=3026

    DetectFile=%AppData%\Mozilla\FireFox\Crash Reports\

    Default=False

    FileKey1=%AppData%\Mozilla\FireFox\Crash Reports\pending|*.*

    FileKey2=%AppData%\Mozilla\FireFox\Crash Reports\submitted|*.*

    FileKey3=%AppData%\Mozilla\FireFox\Crash Reports|*.*

     

    [Dump Files*]

    LangSecRef=3026

    DetectFile=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox

    Default=False

    FileKey1=%AppData%\Mozilla|*.dmp|RECURSE

     

    Anyone have any ideas of what is happening????

  5. Ran Trim_9 on my Netbook and works well. Will play more later with this new version.

     

    Couple of things.

     

    - Can you expand a bit on the #_Exclude.txt? I am unclear on its function.

    - THUMBS on aborting with no WINAPP2.INI present

     

    Also a suggestion. In the previous version, I was doing some testing on systems with UAC ON. Each time I ran the script, it failed even though I allowed it to go through when the pop-up appeared. IMHO, I feel you should abort the script if UAC is detected and it is not "Run as Administrator".

  6. The bookmark backups get deleted after a week or so, is it worth it to delete them with CCleaner?

    IMHO it is worth. Before I make a new disk image I'd like to have a clean system (without those 6 backup files per user account).

     

    DITTO!....but it it has to do with Firefox, it should have a Firefox heading vs [bookmark Backups*] heading....same as [Extensions Logs*], [Crash Reports*] and [Dump Files*]

  7. Winapp's got it right, although sometimes known as Norton.

    Ed Norton was great on the Honeymooners ;)

     

    I've been warning people to stay away from it for years! :P

    I really haven't used Symantec since 2003...which I think was the last of the good NIS. Since then they have been bloatware and screw up every single system I get to fix. I1st thing I do is nuke it. Last time I touch PCA was in 2005 and boy what I pain was that to work with. They just don't know the meaning of K.I.S.S <_<

    I ran this on a few systems (still going to test on a couple more) and it works well. I have been running it with and without UAC emulation by altering this line:

    Set "ANS=C" & RD !UAC! 2>NUL & RD !UAC! 2>NUL || (

     

    Only 2 things which bothered me and one I was able to fix:

    1 - I Changed the 1st line from this:

    DEL /Q #TRIMMER

    to this:

    IF EXIST #TRIMMER DEL /Q #TRIMMER

     

    2 - I've noticed a period at the start here: . Hit "Enter" key when ready to proceed ...

    I noticed code change in that area.

     

    I will be testign this on my Netbook later today to see how it fits on the screen.

  9. Alan...I am in total agreement with you about running the script in the same folder as ccleaner.exe and it should be in its won folder.

     

    Would it be helpful if I stipulate that my script MUST be placed in a folder dedicated to its function,

    and that for user convenience this folder may be a subdirectory of a "working CCleaner Folder",

    and that IF this folder holds no CCleaner.exe / CCleaner64.exe / WinApp2.ini then it will copy what it needs from its parent.

    That is a simple code change for me and avoids prompting the user for a source drive and path from which to copy.

    Basically this is what I had in mind. The BAT file can be started within the CCLEANER folder and the script creates a subfolder and copies its needed files....of course it will have to check to see if the files exists, and it can even create a BAT file to work with. Lemme try and throw together something together from your latest script and I'll PM it to you.

     

    BTW, just ran a test. IMHO, the script should abort if ccleaner*.exe, Portable.dat and winapp2.ini don't all exits. I just ran it to the end with no winapp2.ini. :o

  10. @Alan - I just had an idea for improvement and avoid issues....tell me what you think

     

    Make the BAT file do all the work for you. That is, have it copy its working files (EXE and INI) to a subfolder it creates within the BAT file and then run its script. This way, if a user accidently runs the BAT file from within the folder the EXE resides in, no harm done. Only issue I see is to make the APP portable since you will need a PORTABLE.DAT file and it will have to be created on a fly like "echo #PORTABLE# > TRIM\PORTABLE.DAT"....of course TRIM is the working folder.

     

    Just a thought ;)
