Custom Files and Folders

[chota300]

I had a lot of custom files & folders being cleaned on a slave drive.

I repartitioned the slave drive & needed to change the drive letters.

Only the drive letters changed, not the file & folder names.

I hoped to edit a file to change those custom settings, but I cannot find a file containing these settings.

 

Where are these Custom Files and Folders settings stored ???

 

Thank you.

Open Regedit and go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\CCleaner\Options

Is it possible to use wild cards by editing the CustomFiles registry key? I'm a little nervous about experimenting with file deletion.

 

For example: C:\temp\*.txt or C:\temp\textfile00*.txt

I don't think so. I've switched over to using the CCleaner.ini file to store settings and this is how my custom files and folders looks in it, notice there's no wildcards present:

 

CustomFolders=C:\Audacity_Temp|C:\TEMP|C:\WINDOWS\temp|D:\TEMP|

 

 

Edit:

To do stuff on a wildcard basis you'd have to craft a winapp2.ini entry, or resort to using a batch file. With a batch file you can use all the wildcards you wish!
