DogAtMyFeet Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hi All, I have just started using Opera 11 installed in it's Portable mode. It is in it's own Folder on Drive D: a Partition of the main hard disk D:\OperaPortable so not really Portable. I installed it there as it keeps all of the files in a single Folder structure and makes for easy email backups as I am also using the Mail extension. How can I point CCLeaner to clear out the appropriate browser files when I run CC? I have done some searching and reading here and there is no winapp.ini file in the CC installation folder. I have been reading about winapp2.ini but not sure how to define the portable Opera installation. Can someone please assist me with this? Thanks Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogAtMyFeet Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 OK, I got a little brave and decided to create a modified version of winapp2.ini I found here and bingo, it is all good. Here's what I did so others may use it. Some of the file names are changed from the winapp2.ini version I found here but it has cleared History, Cookies and all Cache so I am a happy camper. [Opera 11 (Portable)] LangSecRef=3022 DetectFile=D:\OperaPortable\Opera.exe Default=True FileKey1=D:\OperaPortable\profile|cookies4.dat FileKey2=D:\OperaPortable\profile|global_history.dat FileKey3=D:\OperaPortable\profile|vlink4.dat FileKey4=D:\OperaPortable\profile\cache|*.* FileKey5=D:\OperaPortable\profile\opcache|*.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted May 5, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2012 this is unnecessary as of the latest version of ccleaner Added support for Opera Portable.e.g. CustomLocation1=OPERA|T:\OperaPortable\Data\profile how to here http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/advanced-usage/ccleaner-ini-files/how-to-clean-user-data-from-non-standard-mozilla-browsers 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.

DogAtMyFeet Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Thanks for that. OK, problem? Some of the files are defned specifically and others are entire Folders to be cleared. Do I just use this part of winapp2.ini and rename it CCleaner.ini ?? CustomLocation1=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile|cookies4.dat CustomLocation2=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile|global_history.dat CustomLocation3=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile|vlink4.dat CustomLocation4=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile\cache CustomLocation5=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile\opcache The first three are individual files within the "Profile" Folder as I do not want the entire Profile Folder to be cleared. The last two are folders that do need to be fully cleared. Also, in those first three, do I change the second Pipe ("|") to a backslash ("\")? CustomLocation1=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile\cookies4.dat CustomLocation2=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile\global_history.dat CustomLocation3=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile\vlink4.dat Fiinally, your example shows an equals ("=") and the KB examples show spaces. Which is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrT Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It should be: CustomLocation1=OPERA|T:\OperaPortable\Data\profile and not spaces (we will fix the documentation). You just have to specify the location of the Profile folder. CCleaner will clean files and sub-folders for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted May 15, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2012 Just to round off what MrT said, the customlocaiton only needs to point to the profile (i.e. only once for each program), not each item. The program will take it from there. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
