Winapp2.ini Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 30 minutes ago, back_track said: I agree with you, butevery programm is an application. By the way its a hard discussion but I think driver software are also 3024 or Windows section. [Canon Printer] [Realtek]. Eg Nvidia is correct there. We can look at piriform how they do it. They sort steam into multimedia, we have it under Games.... greets Steam definitely fits better under Games for our purposes (not a category that exists by Default in CCleaner) given that there are almost 400 entries in winapp2.ini (for reference, winapp.ini has only 402 entries total) that target games. Beyond the basic Steam entry, I don't think Piriform supports anything targeted at gaming. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing databases is very dangerous. You can make your own personal entry for that. You had the wrong registry paths, I just fixed them.

siliconman01 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 [Windows Shellbags *] is causing another annoying issue when using Search within File Explorer. It causes the search results to be defaulted back to Content view instead of the user selected view such as Detailed View. Reference the link below which describes/resolves the problem of the selected user view within the Search of File Explorer. https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/60109-how-change-default-folder-view-search-results.html Once a user sets the desired view for Search in File Explorer as per the solution in the link above (and it does work), [Windows Shellbags *] wipes out the fix and reverts File Explorer back to the default Search view which is Content. The two keys below are causing the problem. RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU RegKey2=HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags Removing these two keys from [Windows Shellbags *] is the only "fix" that I can make work; however, maybe someone else can feedback a more desirable fix.

SMalik Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Looks like Cached Icons file (%LocalAppData%\IconCache.db) is not being wiped on Windows 10 even after restarting explorer.exe. I was able to wipe it with CCleaner after I started Windows in Safe Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMalik Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 TIP As you know CCleaner does not wipe locked files since it has no option to restart system and wipe locked files on system reboot. Every once in a while I start Windows in Safe Mode and run CCleaner to remove all those locked files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
