JDPower Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 It just seems odd to me that there are wildcards for the file system but not for the registry. Because wildcards for the registry could be incredibly dangerous, far moreso than regular wildcards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvdbane Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 prefer not to remove anything that being discontinued because there still people using it even without support/new version or put those discontinued software entry into new file or simply list it on winapp2.com but i think people who use those software might come here and ask why winapp2.ini stop support for those software just wanna ask 1 question why winapp2 nvidia use LangSecRef=3023 and winapp use LangSecRef=3024?

At least offer a second file with all the entries. You can also use Trim.bat like already mentioned by siliconman01. Many people use software even after it has been discontinued, like you can see it now happen with Windows XP. It's really not the best idea, especially with antivirus programs, but some of them can still remove older malware. Some people may also have uninstalled the discontinued software and then CCleaner can remove the files they have left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted April 14, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2014 By the point of the file -- to have a complete catalogue of ccleaner entries not integrated into the official program, for users to create their own file from based on what they have installed -- I too vote entries not be removed due to age (except the windows ME entry because if you're still using ME you probably would not even be thinking of using winapp2 or ccleaner) 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.

vezro Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I installed the winapp2.ini and the trim.bat but when running the trim.bat it asked me a few questions that I did not know which one to select in the cmd. I pasted part of the cmd below. In the ccleaner folder I now see another folder called #TRIMMER and the ccleaner takes a very long time to load. I also add that the ccleaner is the portable version, but this time is installed on the desktop of the computer.
