Revised Entry
Changed name from [NetworkService Temps*] to [NetworkService Temporary Files*] same like [LocalService Temporary Files*] and [systemprofile Temporary Files*].
[NetworkService Temporary Files*]
LangSecRef=3025
Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows
Default=False
FileKey1=%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Temp|*.*|RECURSE
FileKey2=%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\NetworkService.NT*\Local Settings\Temp|*.*|RECURSE
FileKey3=%WinDir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Temp|*.*|RECURSE
Well if you want to view it as a match for other names, I think a more proper name would be Temp, since the folders they clean are called Temp.

Do we really need the entries listed below. I cannot find those locations on Window 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. I checked a few other known privacy eraser programs and they don't have cleaning rules for the locations listed below.

I have some of the locations on my Win10 system. My guess could be these are some old entries during 2000/XP times, as I see Content.IE5, which makes me think of Internet Explorer 5.

What is this entry about and why is it in the Windows Store Apps section?
I think it should be removed.

I will keep the current version scheme then.
As for the Memory Dumps rule, that is only for the non-CCleaner version of Winapp2. Years ago, there was a cleaner for Winapp2 for cleaning memory dumps, until it was added to CCleaner. That is why it is in the Removed entries file.
-
Maybe we can do a vote? It is just weird to read a date In that format. Honestly, when I first became a maintainer, I didn't even notice it was it was suppose to be a date, I thought it was more like the number of corrections Winapp2 has done over the years. That's just me though.

https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/commit/6b5107f3a21771444e062ea856b1c5140fe2fd4d
Sometime in the future, I will be changing the version number scheme to just match up whenever the last modified date is, instead of including the CCleaner version number, as I don't really see much reason to do that anyways.
The new version scheme will be day/month/year format, instead of the current CCleaner version/year/day/month. Should make the version scheme a little better to understand to some people (and honestly, who still reads dates as year/day/month, lol).
I also want to go through the file and do some cleanup, mostly under the hood, so no entries should be effected by it.

Hello.
Just today, A Mozilla developer has posted a article of why everyone should get rid of their AVs, except for MSE/Windows Defender. Here is the article: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/former-mozilla-engineer-disable-your-antivirus-software-except-microsofts/
I don't know if I fully believe it, however, I never recommend ever paying for a AV because it is mostly a waste of money. Usually paid AVs don't do much more then a free AV would do for the average user.
I also seen that he recommend using Rust language as a replacement to C/C++ for Firefox, due to C/C++ having many memory vulnerabilities to it. Right around 2015, Mozilla actually was experimenting with Rust language for Firefox. I assume they probably have done a lot more sense then. Rust is capable of calling C++ programs in it, much like Go does, too. Using open-source languages is actually good because they are less buggy and much less security vulnerabilities in them.

just in case you weren't aware, you have to do the /sageset:1 first, tick the things you want (yes it doesn't show how much space will be saved) and hit OK.
that simply saves your settings in 'slot 1' of the required registry key.
to use those saved settings, you use the switch /sagerun:1 and it'll run cleanmgr with your predefined options.
so you can do a sageset:1 and tick temp internet files and empty recycle bin, and maybe /sageset:2 and tick setup log files and temp setup files.
and you could run cleanmgr c: /sagerun:1 on end of months and /sagerun:2 on weekends, that sort of stuff.
Ah alright. That would explain all the 1-255 integers mean.
-
I also found a site years ago that showed you how to add entries to the Registry to add your own custom folders to the CLEANMGR list, but can't seem to locate it now having just done a quick Google search.
I know what you are talking about, but can't seem to find anything on it, either, or maybe we are thinking of something else.
So I decided to test this out, but I noticed nothing happened when I try to clean something with disk cleaner and using Cleanermgr /sageset:1. I can see all the extra cleaners, but none of them show me the size of clutter there is nor does it show a pop-up that shows Disk Cleanup is cleaning stuff, which it usually does. Is it just suppose to be working in the background or did I do something wrong?

Hello.
So recently, I did a little research on the Windows built in Cleanup utility because I always wondered why Microsoft doesn't make it clean more on your system. Then I found an article on the internet that apparently lets you unlock even more advanced options for it, but there is no easy way to do it and requires you to consulate with the command line. I am pretty sure CCleaner probably already cleans most to all of these, but if anyone still wants to check it out, here is the article on how to do it: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/automate-disk-cleanup-utility-windows
Who knows, maybe disk cleanup actually cleans something that CCleaner doesn't and then we can add it to CCleaner (or Winapp2).

On Windows 10 (and possibly 8.1), I believe Windows automatically compacts the registry for you now, because I use to use Little Registry Optimizer on Windows 7, but since I switched to Windows 10, I never need to compact my registry anymore. Also, Windows 8.1/10 has the "Clean system files" by default, too.

It's on github right? Does this help https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/
No that is for git, which is a version control system: https://git-scm.com/
Anyways, I think the issue is more related to this: http://superuser.com/questions/362087/notepad-ignoring-linebreaks and https://github.com/zeroclipboard/ZeroClipboard/issues/222 A user mentioned the /n would break line breaks in Notepad and there are many entries that have that in it. This doesn't happen in Wordpad or Notepad++ right?
-
Today I re-uploaded the Winapp2 file, which should fix the formatting issue. Can you please try out the new file and see if it still happens. This file was re-uploaded through plain text, so it is best not to use any rich text editors, like Wordpad. Notepad or Notepad++ works best.

Awesome
One more thing I forgot to mention and I do not know how he gets that figure. Just below the version number, there is this:
; Notes ; # of entries: 2,579
Unless he can tell us, my suggestion would be to eliminate that count until a correct number of entries count can be placed within the file
APMichael mentioned a way to do this with Notepad++ some time ago: https://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310&p=276966
He also mentioned Trim.bat also counts the number of entries.
Robert just counted the number of entries manually himself and Notepad++ comes up with the same. Sometimes I forget to update that number.
-
Ah OK, I get it now.
Updated the version number: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/commit/ef20aa567b94c260dd07342ea7c1c1b6e4ace4ad
-
Version number has not been updated
; Version: v5.21.160816; Application Cleaning file
I usually leave that up to Robert, as I don't know what the proper version number is, as a rarely use CCleaner.
-
Updated: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/commit/856ea0a45d587e6c433d98965fa413a2c6fbbd3b
Probably better to keep the old entries for awhile longer, because I heard v3 was pretty buggy, so people might stick with the old versions until v3 is more stable.

Please don't forget this entry for Winapp2.ini
It was already added here: https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/commit/cfbd2a235278396614e6c58b3054247b71040cd3

I use to have Netflix. I got rid of it because they started removing all the shows I liked and replaced them with either some low rated shows or their own made shows.
I still prefer Kodi over all of them.
