Moderators Nergal Posted September 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 27, 2012 So am I right in saying that Piriform themselves don't issue an 'official' winapp2 file, but that this forum are the 'keepers' of the file and update/amend it based of member suggestions/feedback yes, you are correct. And many entries are then picked up by the developers and added to the program ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators mta Posted September 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 27, 2012 I know how a big winapp2.ini file effects the speed of loading CCleaner, do you know if that's still the same once those entries are addedd to the program? And once added, does winapp2.ini (the person) then remove the entries from winapp2.ini (the file)? (As someone called him earlier in this thread, maybe we need a naming convention, something like winapp2.ini(hero) and winapp2.ini(file) to reflect the difference) Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

Moderators Nergal Posted September 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 27, 2012 1st question: I think (at a guess) that it doesn't (as much) slow it down when they're built in because the program isn't reading an external file 2nd question: yes he does.

siliconman01 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I honestly do not feel that winapp2.ini should be permitted to remove "quarantined" files of security programs. All security programs have their own option to remove one or all quarantined files. The potential of a CCleaner user deleting a false positive in quarantine by having winapp2.ini code such as {superantispyware quarantine*] check marked is pretty great in my opinion. Obviously this would prevent the user from returning a valid file (flagged as false positive) to its normal location. I feel the user should have to "think twice" by having to use the security program's option to empty quarantined files. Most security companies recommend that a quarantined file should not be dumped for at least a week. And I continue to feel that Piriform should fix the winapp.ini code for Malwarebytes so that it does NOT delete quarantined items. JMO...

Alan_B Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 The quarantined files of SUPERAntiSpyware. It does not function for me at the moment but I can not figure out what I missed.
