There is a game I really like to play called Insaniquarium. As part of the game you have to collect shells, feed fish and stuff.
It also has a screensaver which collects shells automatically for you, even if you are not on the computer (a very useful feature).
However, every time the screensaver has been on, I get an issue found in CCleaner, which I used to ignore, but now it's getting annoying.
Issue I keep getting:
Missing MUI Reference C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\pcpins2a.exe HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache
I know that I can exlude the registry folder HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache, but that folder usually contains registry keys that need to be cleaned.
Is there a way of just excluding the individual key? Or if you can think of another way of solving this problem please help!
Missing MUI Reference C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\pcpins2a.exe HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache
You haven't stated which Windows operating system you are using. By what you have quoted above you appear to be using Win9x/ME. I think temp files are stored in Username\Temp sub folder on WinNT.
If it is Win9x/ME then CCleaner will delete all files and folders in C:\Windows\Temp.
It's only the screensaver that gives me the issue, so the pcpins2a.exe is for the screensaver.
By 'ignore' I meant I kept fixing it.
Fixing the issue just deletes the registry key, but the key recreates itself every time the screensaver comes back on.
Is there a way exclude that particular registry key when doing an issue scan? At the moment I can only exclude the whole MUICache folder.
You might try Options > Advanced and make sure the option for Windows temp files over 48 hours is off.
Or turn it back on if it is already off.
I am just trying to figure a work around.
In the CCleaner "Analyze" listing does this file show up?
That may be the "fix" Use the Options > Exclude feature and drag and drop that file.YOU MUST ALSO have the option checked for Custom files and folders at Cleaner > Advanced list on the Windows tab.(all the way at bottom) See your favorite Guide http://www.ccleanerbeginnersguide.com/ "Options" topic
Starts the game in "Screensaver Mode". Note that you can also start the Insaniquarium Deluxe screensaver by either running the "Insaniquarium.scr" or "WinFish_Scr.exe" files (located in your main game directory on your hard drive) with no command line parameters.
Also note that when using this command line parameter (as well as when invoking the screensaver by running the Insaniquarium.scr file), the game simply calls and directly runs the WinFish_Scr.exe file (which is the actual screensaver module of the game) via the following entry in your Windows Registry:
