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.

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. You control the last.

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.

From the current update, these changes should be of interest to your section question.

 

As for my forum username.. probably a poor choice in hindsight! :lol:

Don't leave me hanging! What was it? :o

 

It was for Windows Explorer Shell Extensions.

 

As for my forum username.. probably a poor choice in hindsight! :lol:

 

I think it was brilliant myself, you chose that name all those years ago, and then made the file so much better by injecting it with new life keeping it active.

winapp2.ini,

 

please consider removing the code below. it is not really the proper or best way to handle the ctfmon.exe running issue.

The original coder of ctfmon.exe is attempting to stop ctfmon.exe from starting up on system reboot.

 

I originally wrote it, and the Warning= section was there to give a clue how to properly disable it using CTFMON-Remover, well at least that works in WinXP:

The quarantined files of SUPERAntiSpyware. It does not work for me at the moment but I can not figure out what I missed. Maybe someone knows.

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... :mellow:

If you expect SUPERAntiSpyware to permit meddling with its special quarantine folder by CCleaner then you have a low opinion of SUPERAntiSpyware.
