siliconman01 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I do not recommend adding [Office MSOCache folder**]. Removing this folder causes the user to have to insert the MS Office DVD each time a MS hotfix for Office is issued/installed via Windows Update. The other option would be to insert a warning message telling the user of the consequences of removing this folder. In [Win XP updates old folders**], removing the $hf_mig$ is not recommended by Microsoft. This folder contains hotfix info and should not be removed. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-performance/how-to-delete-unused-files-under-cwindows/8ddd45a9-b748-4a5f-8475-ce00214be510 I do not recommend adding [Windows XP dllcache*] http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/can-delete-system32-dllcache-folder-content-t3887555.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222193 Windows 10 x64 Pro on ASUS Maximus VIII Extreme motherboard, i7-6700k CPU,H220 X2 Liquid Cooler, 64 gbyte RipJaws DDR4 3200 RAM, Samsung 970 Pro NVMe M.2 500 gbyte SSD + Samsung 850 Pro 512 gbyte SSD, EVGA RTX 3060 Titan graphics card (Home Built System); Windows 11x64 Pro on 512 gigabyte Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 Laptop/tablet and Dell XPS 8940 PC.

Moderators Andavari Posted July 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 27, 2012 It would be very nice if the Mozilla Firefox cleaners could be grouped together in the winapp2.ini file somehow, trying to find them when they're all over the place is difficult. Grouped example with a Starts/Ends indication: ; Mozilla Firefox - Starts [Adblock Plus Backups*] LangSecRef=3026 SpecialDetect=DET_MOZILLA Default=False FileKey1=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*\adblockplus|patterns-backup*.ini [bookmark Backups*] LangSecRef=3026 SpecialDetect=DET_MOZILLA Default=False FileKey1=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*\bookmarkbackups|*.json ; Mozilla Firefox - Ends ------------------------------------------- Many updates for the Mozilla Firefox cleaners. After a clean install of Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 and not seeing winapp2.ini cleaners working for it I found Firefox didn't create the "HKCU\Software\Mozilla\Firefox" registry key which so many of the winapp2.ini cleaners rely upon for detection.
