WinApp2.ini has a long list of things that it cleans.
Sometimes I need them, sometimes I don't.
Wish I can toggle WinApp2.ini on or off under advanced options, depending on my need.
Maybe make CCleaner skip checking WinApp2 when it is "off", & also treat it as "off" when you have nothing checked true yet.
Because I have nothing checked (yet) & CCleaner still checks every item in WinApp2 (I think) because it takes a long time to load vs no WinApp2 file.
winapp2 is an optional personal file. The file included in the forum is meant to be a guide and a way for users not to have to figure out how to clean what another user has already figured out.
That said you could create a batch file that renames winapp2 so the program doesn't see it. @Alan_B has a simular batch file. He also has one posted in the forum and downloadable from winapp2's website called Trim which will remove un-needed entries.
Trim.bat is a good idea for speed regardless as to whether or not you're using the entries within often, just because it makes it a lot faster.
An internal tick for "disable loading of winapp2 rules" is interesting, but all the same you could
• Rename winapp2.ini
• Move winapp2.ini out of the folder
• Set up 2 installations of CCleaner, with and without the ini, have separate shortcuts for both.

Yes, that is correct, I suppose.
I had hoped that I can include WinApp2.ini in portable CC folder, & CC will ignore it unless I check any entries.
Instead, CC checks the entire list, whether anything is checked or not.
Which is why I was wondering if there could be added a checkmark box to enable/disable WinApp2.ini
I am aware of the methods you list, but I just figured it would be both smaller & less confusing to have 1 CC folder instead of 2 or 3 of them.
And I thought that it would be great to be able to enable it when I need it, but disable it for normal cleaning jobs.
