Exclude Registry entry

CCleaner for Windows
1

I eventually managed to track down a Registry entry that I wanted to protect.

However before doing so I was puzzled as it never appeared under Analyse, and yet CCleaner was deleting the entry at

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}\iexplore\AllowedDomains

Anyway I eventually worked out that it was being deleted by ccleaner and set an exclude as follows

Exclude4=REG|HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}\iexplore\AllowedDomains

and it seems to work fine.

I'm puzzled however that it did not appear on the Analyse.

Am I missing something?

It may have been cleaned by one of the cleaner entries, as those also delete registry keys

3

I looked at Analyze on the cleaner. I was not using the Registry cleaner

4

Sadly (though I'm not sure why) The cleaner section only show removed files (and not registry entries removed via that section)

I'm not sure what entry removes that registry

5

I didn't find anything in the embedded INIs

Since this is an iexplore key, I would not expect 3rd party applications to be affecting this location.

I would therefore deduct from logical reasoning, that the most logical areas for it to be within must either be something like DNS Cache under System, or some key under Internet Explorer.

I could be wrong about this, but since I do not see AllowedDomains on my computer in the location specified, I am unable to test.

I have keys there, but running CCleaner had no effect on mine.

It is certainly being cleaned on my system. presumably that could be some of the options I have selected, but I cannot see which ones.

Sadly the only way to figure that out is to try each option you have checked off individually. Start with the most likely (Internet explorer options) right click an option and choose clean. Then check the registry for the missing item. Continue until you find which one does it. You may wish to export the registry entry before beginning to make it easier to recreate once you've found the item causing the issue

Post back here once you've figured out which item it is
