Hi,

will there ever be a solution for the often mentioned problem with the non-existing variables like
%commonappdata%
%allusersprofile%
%localappdata%

It makes the application cleaner quite useless.
What a pity.

Those are controlled by the system itself, and CCleaner or any other tool has to use what's available and preset in Windows. Although some freeware tool that could automatically fix them would be very nice.

Complexity of incoherent design.

I disagree.

You can download Winapp2.ini and you will find entries such as
FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\OIS|OIScatalog.cag

I have adapted my copy by adding a special %UserProfile% section,
and now everything which is cleaned from my profile when I run CCleaner,
is also cleaned from each of the other private profiles when the owner of the profile shuts down.
