Exporting .ini files - wrong Default state?


giveaway

Recommended Posts

My situation. I opened CCleaner, untick all checkboxes except for Cleaner->Windows->System->Temporary Files. Then I closed CCleaner. After it with a command-line 'ccleaner /export' I exported winapp.ini, winreg.ini and winsys.ini. Now as I open these .ini files I see too many 'Default=True' strings. Why? I expect it to be 'True' only for Temporary Files

winapp.ini is the default rule inside ccleaner

Default=True means that when you open ccleaner, the entries will be selected by default

changes to the setting will be saved inside ccleaner.ini/registry

 

you should find something like this inside ccleaner.ini/registry

(App)Run (in Start Menu)=False

Easy to change via a text editor to change all to false.

Would do nothing, unless winapp.ini was also changed to winapp1.ini

 

But yes, the poster I think expected default= to be their settings, but, in reality their settings (true/false and only if different from default iirc) is listed in registry or ccleaner.ini, as stated above.

 

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.
