I have successfully added a few new programs entries to winapp2.ini and modified some existing entries to fit my configuration, but this one has me stumped.

I have created a folder at the root level called C:\Dump

I temporarily put certain files in that folder in order that I NOT mistakenly delete them from the Recycle Bin.

Periodically, I want to enable the Dump folder for cleaning via CC.

Here's my initial set up:
___________________

[DUMP]
LangSecRef=3025
DetectFile=%rootdir%\Dump
Default=True
FileKey1=%rootdir%\Dump|*.*
_____________________

If I change the DetectFile to something like "DetectFile=%windir%\WINFILE.EXE"

Dump will show up with a checkbox under "Windows" in applications, but NOT with the setup above.

In either case CC will not recognize the files in that directory.

What am I doing wrong ?

First problem I've had in a great application.

%rootdir% parameters don't seem to work. Since it's your system you'll use it on it's ok to replace %rootdir% with C:\ or whatever the disk is.
Complexity of incoherent design.
