Hi, I just want to warn you that the file winapp2.ini is not working with vista. Effectively i can see the program from the file added in the CCleaner program when I launch but when I run CCleaner nothing is deleted. I opened the file and I think it will work only with XP. I give an example for O&O defrag. In the file there is FileKey1=%userprofile%\My Documents\O&O\O&O Defrag\reports|*.*|RECURSE but In vista, your personal folder is "Documents" not "My documents". that's why nothing will be deleted.
