Defraggler 2.07 refuses to let excluded items go.
I can add an item to excludes, but when I go back to delete the item, it deletes it, & I click ok.
Then, I exit Defraggler.
But every time I open Defraggler again, the file is added right back.
The only way I can permanently delete items from excludes, is to manually remove from the .ini file.
Can this get fixed, please?
* OS = XP Pro SP2
Devs would have to check if this also happened on a supported service pack as yours isn't one.
As hazel said. You may wish to upgrade to XP Pro SP3
A service pack wouldn't prevent Defraggler from remembering the changes to the .ini file, would it?
However, I will update later, sigh, just to check it out.
Thank you!
I suggest access/permissions issues.
You say it works when you delete from the INI (presumably under your direct authority)
What happens when you delete via Defraggler ?
Does that fail to remove the item from INI ?
NB Portable CCleaner updates its INI file when it is closed.
Could Defraggler have a Firefox phenomenon of a lingering process which prevents final closure ?

Should not be a permissions issue, due to running under full Admin access
What happens when I delete via Defraggler, is that it shows the line getting deleted, then I hit ok & then close Defraggler. But click Defraggler again, & it's back!
Yes, it does fail to remove it, because if it didn't, it would not keep coming back.
This was on a fully install, have not checked the portable version yet. Will have to try later & let u know what that does.
Firefox does not have a lingering process preventing it, because firefox/internet explorer/all web browsers are totally closed, & do not even show running processes in the task manager for them.

I am not saying that Firefox is lingering in this situation.
I am reminding you what Firefox + Addons can do,
and suggesting that if a Firefox.exe process is able to linger as a process whilst the window and task bar icon have gone,
perhaps this is not a firefox only capability - but that other applications, even defraggler, may have this same potential for aggravation

i am fully aware of this, which is always what I firstly check. Processes.
Of course, just to be sure, running an app like End it All 2 can ensure all killable processes are dead.
Still, the problem occurs...
Edit: Updated.
Problem still occurs in XP SP3
