Moderators Andavari Posted August 28, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 28, 2012 After years of searching for a fix for the large areas of black gaps in Add/Remove Programs on multiple Windows XP systems that I've seen comes a fix via winapp2.ini in CCleaner!!! New: [Windows XP ARPCache*] LangSecRef=3025 DetectOS=|5.1 Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Default=False Warning=This cleans the Add/Remove Programs cache and will fix very large areas of black gaps in it. Using this will cause Add/Remove Programs to take a very long time to load since it will have to rebuild the cache.

Maybe there should be a warning like this: "Please restart your system to take effect." What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Sounds fair, I actually hadn't realized you needed to restart explorer for it to take effect. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 My experience with XP was that :- This entry immediately removes the Iconcache.db ; The Iconcache NEVER REBUILT so there-after a Power up resulted in a blank desktop and the shortcut icons gradually appeared in the next minute or so. In theory explorer.exe MAY need to be stopped and restarted and that SHOULD rebuild the Iconcache.db. This should be an automatic consequence of shutting down Windows and restarting, BUT in practice Windows fails to do this for very many victims. The Internet has a large number of cures for the situation. I tried many with zero success. Eventually I tried RegSeeker and this fixed my Desktop - The operation was a success but the patient died Specifically I PREVIOUSLY knew where to look on the desktop to find a group of related shortcuts, and Regseeker fixed the cache so the correct icons were present on start-up, BUT NOW they were no longer in groups in particular areas of the screen - they were all in vertical columns on the left and jumbled together.

ra2or Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I tested it and actually FileKey6 was not rebuild automatically. FileKey1, FileKey2 and FileKey14 make sense to me and do not need a warning in my opinion. But I do not understand why to delete all the other files.
