Debugging CCleaner and WinApp2.ini

This topic is composed for the benefit of new member "Compare"

Use a new folder and unzip into this the portable version of CCleaner.

Also copy into this folder WinApp2.ini if relevant.

Copy the following code to DEBUG.BAT in the same folder

SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
DEL CC*.LOG
SET "CC=CCLEANER.EXE" & IF EXIST %WINDIR%\SYSWOW64 SET "CC=CCLEANER64.EXE"
ECHO USING %CC%
IF NOT EXIST !CC! (
(ECHO [Options] & ECHO UpdateKey=!DATE! !TIME:~0,8!) > CCLEANER.INI
SET "CC=CCLEANER.EXE" & IF NOT EXIST !CC! SET "CC=CCLEANER64.EXE"
ECHO OOPS - USING Non-Default !CC!
PAUSE
GOTO :EOF
)
START /WAIT !CC! /DEBUG
MORE CCLEANER*.LOG > CC-INFO.LOG
FIND "][iNFO ] " < CC-INFO.LOG > CC-INFO.TXT

Run DEBUG.BAT and this will launch CCleaner.

When CCleaner opens and responsive then under both the Windows and Applications Tabs ensure each box is checked

Where a section (such as Windows / "Advanced") has many unchecked boxes then click the section heading

(twice if the first click empties the boxes)

and accept any warnings you are given.

Then click the CCleaner "Analyze" button,

and after Analyze is completed simply close CCleaner.

Then DEBUG.BAT should produce the file CC-INFO.TXT

and this will identify all items which CCleaner has Analyzed,

N.B. For your privacy, and to reduce the file size, all cookies etc and omitted.

If you attach CC-INFO.TXT to a post then I and others can see what CCleaner is configured to deal with.
