That's why I want it for... just having a shortcut in CCleaner for calling WDC and delete old sys restore points. (I'm too lazy for looking for it at windows start menu)

I never said "competing" , just "complement"

Hi: I would like Windows Disk Clean Up could be invoked from a tools menu item in CCleaner. This is a good complement tool. The code could be like this: WinExec("%windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe", SW_SHOW); Thanks!

OOOH! Yes, now it worked... The problem was "Default=TRUE" Because I was expecting CCleaner to show up a warning DURING cleaning, as it does with Firefox, not when checking the option. So it was always right, just I had to switch the check mark!!! Thanks very very much!!! BDW: CCleaner did accept C: instead %SystemDrive%

Nope, it didn't work. I moved all my original .ini files to another folder in order to use winapp2.ini with ONLY the code you suggested, but warning is NOT displayed yet. (Files were deleted properly). CCleaner Version: 3.21.1767

Hi: I appended this in my WinApp2.ini for cleaning temp files in a specific path: [iDE temps] Section=Misc. temp files Warning="You must exit IDE before cleaning temp files." Default=True FileKey1=c:\IDETemp\*.* My problem is that CCleaner does delete the target files, but Warning is NOT displayed. (The warning is just a reminder, just like the one for FireFox. If temp files are still being used, they won't be deleted) I am using CCleaner 3.21 under Windows 7 64 bit SP1 Thanks for any hint.

Hi: I wonder if CCleaner Hotfix Uninstallers option has something to do with c:\windows\windowsxp-kbxxxxx.exe files, and if it is safe to delete those files. Thanks

Bug is still in new version 3.13.1600!!

Yes, absolutely agree. My point was to remark the problem with extensions like *.tmp???, and the rule from c:\ and RECURSE was only for reproducing the problem. I never said the problem was the location of files, but the type of files. I agree that I can't just run CCleaner and delete whatever it finds. But I know why I created the rule that way. The list of detected items is not very long for me, so I always check it before deleting items. That's how I realized my templates were about to be deleted. (Actually those are templates of WinMerge) Thanks for considering this issue.

Did you run CCleaner to get *.tmp6 files?

I think there is a misunderstanding. Let's begin again. I put this in my winapp2.ini file: [Temp files (*.tmp)] Section=Misc. temp files Default=True FileKey1=%UserProfile%|*.tmp|RECURSE This will detect good and bad files: c:\documents and settings\usr1\desktop\template_file.tmpl <- This hould not be detected as tmp file. It's a template! c:\documents and settings\usr1\desktop\garbage.tmp <-This is garbage. OK to detect it I would expect only *.tmp files, but this rule is including *.tmp* files

Hi: I think there is a problem with CCleaner 3.12.1572 and Winapp2.ini file extensions. Suppose I have this code in the ini file: [Temp files (*.temp, *.tmp)] Section=Misc. temp files Default=True FileKey1=c:\.|*.temp|RECURSE FileKey2=c:\.|*.tmp|RECURSE When running CCleaner, this would detect files like: "trash.tmp", but also files like: "MyTemplate.tmpl" (Note the extension tmpl does start with tmp but is not the same) This is a potential problem, since for this and other character combinations, CCleaner could include useful files and if we do not check the results list, they will be deleted, probably without noting it. I do not know if this is an OS-related problem (API used in CCleaner calls OS functions), because I have noticed sometimes windows search does return files that have similar extensions. But if that is the case, I have not been able to reproduce it. Thanks!

Yeah! that's the point: why 2 tools if CCleaner COULD do the full cleaning?

Hello, When I run CCleaner 2.30 ruling to delete hotfix files for WinXP (SP3), it does delete files, but registry keeps lots of invalid entries, like: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP4\KB956744] "UninstallCommand"="C:\\WINDOWS\\$NtUninstallKB956744$\\spuninst\\spuninst.exe " [Dozens of entries like this!] (The folder $NtUninstallKB956744$ does not exist anymore) Same with other updates: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP4\KB954550-v5\Filelist\9] "Location"="c:\\9886a9cf321aa4edcb\\update\\..\\i386" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{53F5C3EE-05ED-4830-994B-50B2F0D50FCE}] "InstallSource"="c:\\076ee9b6da8e86353e6f368b383feff5\\Setup\\" Now, I would not delete by myself any of those keys because they also contain "valid" information, like a description of the hot fix and version info. However, why would CCleaner delete the files and keep the "trace" in the registry of what was deleted? I think that if it will delete hot fixes, it should delete all info, including registry records. But if that is not safe, why deleting only the files and leaving an invalid path in the registry? Thanks!!

Hello: I ran CCleaner 2.30.1130 on win xp sp3 and it did not detect keys like these: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ESET\OnlineScanner\Path Data: C:\program files\ESET\ESET Online Scanner\ [ESET was uninstalled, folder does not exist anymore] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Low Rights\ElevationPolicy\{C8FE2181-CAE7-49EE-9B04-DB7EB4DA544A}\AppPath Data: C:\program files\Java\jre6\bin [Java was upgraded, folder does not exist anymore] HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\12F610CC0793ED118B87000565084666\SourceList\Net\1 Data: C:\DOCUME~1\admin\CONFIG~1\Temp\7ZipSfx.000\ [.net framework update, but installation folder is temp, it does not exist anymore] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP\SP4\KB956744\UninstallCommand Data: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB956744$\spuninst\spuninst.exe [Windows update, uninstall source seems to have been deleted by ccleaner, but not in registry!] I have hundreds of these kind of entries... I suggest CCleaner could be run with an "advanced option" in order to detect wong paths to inexistent files. User would be responsible of deciding if deleting that stuff.
