Winapp2.ini Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'd like to see CCleaner output registry paths to be cleaned by RegKeys, rather than displaying nothing. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Fast Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Can you explain? CCleaner already does display registry keys to be cleaned when you click scan under Registry. Perhaps you had a different idea? I am a little confused by what you mean. CCleaner 3.22 does show the paths of the reg keys to be cleaned, at least on my machine...

Winapp2.ini Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 As nergal said, I'd like to see reporting of the registry keys cleaned by entries such as those in winapp, winsys, winapp2, etc that use RegKey winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonjonjon Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 i came here to make this exact suggestion. its annoying not knowing what is actually being deleted. there should be an option under 'View detailed results' that will show you what reg keys were deleted. for example if you 'Analyze/Clean' the 'Run (in Start Menu)' it says "0 bytes to be removed. (Approximate size)" because it’s not deleting any files but it does delete registry keys in ‘HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU’. i really think this needs to be added so at least users know what they are deleting. i know you can export the winapp.ini & winsys.ini which show the default ccleaner rules and winapp2.ini for others that were added. then i can use REG QUERY to check and see what registry keys will be deleted but that’s a lot of work. at that point i might as well just delete them myself.

Winapp2.ini Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 I forgot about this. Still would love to see it. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 +1 In the mean time, here's a small app I just whipped up. It dumps winapp.ini, winsys.ini and winreg.ini, then iterates through each of them looking for regkey entries. If winapp2.ini is also present, that will be scanned too. The list of keys is dumped to a file called regkeys.output.txt Download CCRegDump.exe (.NET required. Wasn't paying attention to which version: ymmv) Download regkeys.output.txt (for CCleaner 3.27, excluding winapp2) I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 +1, but it would probably scare the daylights out of many users. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Winapp2.ini Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 I think it could be implemented in a way that wouldn't freak people out too much. Example: 12 files, 3 keys. expanding it shows Files: C:\Blah.txt Keys: HKCU\Software\Blah\Blah winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted February 10, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2013 can I do another +1 on this and say it would also allow users to stop the removal of items pinned in app-right-clicks (via the already there exclude right click in details view) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
