I can also confirm that this is due to double detect given in the inbuilt ini
if someone doesn't have flashplayer.xpt in the "%windir%\system32\Macromed\flash\" folder (as I did not) but does have the registry entry HKCR\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000} flash will not show in ccleaner. I confirmed this by making a text file and calling it flashplayer.xpt and placing it in the folder.
Previous detect for flash was only the reg entry
Note this also made winapp2.ini flash entry appear (which also was not appearing until this file was added)
Versions 2.33 and 2.34 did not show the flash player. Version 2.34 also had cookie removal problems for me so I went back to 2.33 and, in the mean time, I uninstalled and reinstalled adobe flash. Adobe flash still did not show up.
I installed ccleaner version 2.35 and Adobe flash shows up and all the cookies I've accumulated! I was able to remove all cookies that showed up in 'cookies to be removed'. For now, everything is working perfectly.
I was just prompted to update CCleaner and when I went to remove Flash content, the Flash option wasn't there. I did noticed other options were added, which is nice.
I use the Flash Storage Settings page to remove Flash content, but I also like to run CCleaner after that to remove any other Flash files.
I'm using the latest version of Chrome beta on XP.

Hmm sounds like you have a different issue if you paste "%windir%\system32\Macromed\flash\ into the run box, do you see a flashplayer.xpt?
Note: I have tested this and the detectfile overtakes detect(registry). By this I mean, if I have "%windir%\system32\Macromed\flash\flashplayer.xpt but do NOT have the registry entry HKCR\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000} Flash is still detected by ccleaner
Also for those not willing/unable to make a file in the %windir% add the following to your winapp2.ini

There is no flashplayer.xpt file, but before the latest update, CCleaner was able to display Chrome's integrated Flash in its settings.

(1) dummy flashplayer.xpt file added an entry but did not result in detection
do you have windows hiding the extentions for known files if so you probably inavertantly made flashplayer.xpt.txt

yup after some further investingation Chrome has flash built in and it runs from gcswf32.dll
can you do me a favor (since you have an installed chrome as opposed to my portable build) can you put chrome://plugins/ into the address bar and copy paste
[rant] HA! Yet another reason for me not to like Chrome. IMHO built flash is bad idea. Note that it is at least one version old, and that you pretty much have to wait for a chrome update or jump through hoops to get the latest version. [/rant]
note to all: MR T already stated they are working on a fix, so this should not be a problem for too long
I think you should check again, because DetectFiles override Detect Registry, and by that logic the entry should be there. (Make sure you've saved it to the correct folder too, which is %windir%\system32\Macromed\flash\ )

Here's the requested info.
Flash - Version: 10.1.82.76
Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82
Version: 10,1,82,76
Priority: 2
Location: C:\Documents and Settings\[username removed]\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\6.0.472.51\gcswf32.dll
Regarding built-in Flash in Chrome, I actually like it :-) I mean, there was that time back when a new version of Flash 10.1 RC was out and Chrome was still using a version number lower, but that's been about it. I do hate though that I have to wait for Google to update Chrome and Flash, but if I install Flash and disable the integrated version in Chrome.
Well, the first time I tried it, it didn't work, now I just added a dummy "flashplayer.xpt" file in the Flash folder and Flash now appears in CCleaner's Multimedia menu.
I don't know if I have HKCR\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000} 'cause I don't know where in the Registry to find it, but creating said dummy file does make CCleaner detect Flash.
Thanks for the tip Nergal.
I'll wait for the update to CCleaner before removing that file.
