Hi,

That's it, I'm asking someone to teach me how to delete a special set of values in a registry key for a winapp2.ini entry, I tried:

RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache|D:\*

but it doesn't work. Is there any solution for this?

Thanks,
jss

You want to delete EVERYTHING on you D drive or just certain types of file on D drive (if so what files)? Have you read how to create a winapp2 entry in the beginners guide:

http://www.ccleanerbeginnersguide.com/

Your (partial) entry doesn't seem to make sense so not sure exactly what you're trying to do.

EDIT: The penny has just dropped, are you trying to clean MUI entries only for D drive? If so I'm not sure it's possible (but I'm no winapp2 expert and this goes a bit beyond the entries I've made)

Exactly, thank you for your help.
Actually, if:
FileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader|*.bak
works for files, I though logical that the same concept could be applied for RegKey

I've never seen anyone use a wildcard for registry cleaning.

Removal of registry entries looks like this:

Quote

Regkey1=HKCU\Software\SomeApp1|Recent_01

Or like this:

Quote

Regkey2=HKCU\Software\SomeApp2\MRU

You can use absolute paths like this:

RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache|D:\Software\Setup.exe

Thank you Andavari for your help.

I think I haven't seen all and there's always a first time for everything. If I would have seen it before, I guess I wouldn't be placing the question.

The fact is I need it for cleaning the MUIcache without disturbing other needed entries that would otherwise take a long time to be reconstructed by Windows on the next boot (or before?). Furthermore, I don't think it's less logical and complex than using wildcards for files.

Anyway, I think you're trying to say that CCleaner doesn't support it; I think it should, although it's already a very good program.

Actually I never tried it before, because I never thought of trying it.

Since you've been trying it and it doesn't work that basically answers the question of CCleaner not supporting it, however a definitive answer would be better from the developer on this matter which of course I'm not.
