Winapp2.ini: thank you for your patience, and thank you very very much for the embedded cleaning options for Opera template. Upon replacing the "SpecialDetect=DET_OPERA" with "%ProgramFiles%\Opera\10.63\Opera.exe" and "%ProgramFiles%\Opera\11.11\Opera.exe" then running CCleaner, the results are that these cleaning options appear in CCleaner (see attachment) but, when analyzed, are always 0 bytes. I don't know the technical jargon, but it seems to me that the the winapp2.ini is pointing CCleaner to the default location of the files-folders to be cleaned (via the "SpecialKey1"?) instead of the custom location. After typing that it seems pretty obvious. Any idea how to alter where the winapp2.ini has CCleaner look for the Opera files-folders? Or do I need to customize each "SpecialKey1=" into a "FileKey(x)" for the corresponding files-folders to be cleaned (and if this, do you know where I could find a list of these?)? Thanks again for your time.

Thanks again for your help Winapp2.ini. When you type "DetectFile=Location of your custom Opera" do you mean the install location of my opera.exe, as in "DetectFile=C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\10.63\opera.exe" or the file path of the hidden AppData, "DetectFile=C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Opera\10.63?" Edit: I just added the following to the winapp2.ini file: [Opera 10.63 - Internet Cache 10.63] ID=2006 LangSecRef=3027 LangRef=3161 Default=True DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Opera\10.63\Opera.exe SpecialKey1=N_OPERA_CACHE [Opera 11.11 - Internet Cache 11.11] ID=2006 LangSecRef=3027 LangRef=3161 Default=True DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\Opera\11.11\Opera.exe SpecialKey1=N_OPERA_CACHE and was rewarded with a semi-successful addition to CCleaner (see attachment). This raises a couple of questions for me. One, is there any way to distinguish the different versions when they appear in CCleaner, something like "Internet Cache 10.63" and "Internet Cache 11.11" (that's why I added "10.63" and "11.11" to the winapp2.ini entries above, hoping it would show in CCleaner)? And two, would there be any way to add the same level of configuration to the cleaning as there is when Opera is in it's default install location; that is, being able to utilize "Cookies to Keep" and other such things?

Andavari: thanks for your reply. Does the secret nature of SpecialDetects mean that my only choices for having CCleaner clean a custom (non-default install file path) Opera installation are to either add it to the winapp2.ini or add each individual file-folder I want cleaned to the Include list? And, if this is the case, would a custom Opera install added to the winapp2.ini have the same options for cleaning as a default location Opera detected by SpecialDetects; that is, would a custom Opera install added to the winapp2.ini recognize Cookies To Keep, etc.? Thanks again for your time.

Winapp2.ini: thanks for your time. Would you be willing to elaborate a bit, as I've a clue but I'm not a software engineer. I checked my registry and there's no such entry as "Opera Software" under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE" (although there is an entry "Opera Software" under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software") Also, what is a SpecialDetect? I did some Googling but to no avail. Thanks for your help (and your patience).

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help. Long story short, I have two versions of Opera, 10.63 and 11.11, installed on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit laptop and I can't figure out how to make CCleaner do its magic on either install. Each install is in the default location--"C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\"--with the addition of the folders "10.63" and "11.11," that is, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\10.63" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\11.11" respectively. I've spent hours searching for how CCleaner detects Opera installs, in the hope of customizing the process, and for exactly which files in Opera CCleaner cleans, in the hope of adding them to the include list, but to no avail. Any help pointing me to a solution for having CCleaner recognize both custom installations of Opera would be much appreciated.

Nergal: I apologize for bumping my topic; it had been overnight where I live when I posted the question again, so the thought didn't cross my mind (but I'll remember next time :-). And thank you for a solution. Yesterday when I'd looked to see that everything was properly checked under "Applications" I noticed that "Cookies" under Opera was grayed-out but unchecked and assumed (yep, never assume) that that was because I'd selected several cookies to keep. My mistake. After again running CCleaner 3.0, but with that checked, there are no more cookies (excepting the few that I'd decided to keep). And the reason that I thought that it was EVERY website that I'd ever visited was because "Cookies" under Opera must have been unchecked for months, as I don't remember having ever unchecking it (not that my memory is the best). Anyway, thank you very much for your kind help and apologies again for my seeming impatience. Have an excellent day.

Please, is it possible that someone can help me? I thought that my question in my original post was lucid, but I'll try again. 1) I've run CCleaner, on average, twice weekly for the life of my 10 month old laptop. 2) When I installed CCleaner 3.0 then went to Options/Cookies, the list of "Cookies to Delete" contains EVERY website that I've ever visited since I bought my laptop. 3) From where does CCleaner get the information to populate this list; that is, if I just ran CCleaner and deleted these cookies, then why does it still list EVERY website I've ever visited on the list of "Cookies to Delete," many of which I haven't visited in months? Thank you again for any help.

ishan_ruiz: thanks for your reply. Where, exactly, would these cookies be? I've run CCleaner regularly for the life of my new laptop and manually deleted the Flash Player cookies, but when I go to Options/Cookies the list of "Cookies to Delete" still includes sites that I haven't visited for months.

Hello, and thank you in advance to anyone willing to give of their time to help me answer my question; I appreciate it. I've been using CCleaner since I bought my first laptop four-some years ago, and it's one of the first programs I installed on my second laptop. I just installed CCleaner 3.0 a couple of hours ago, and as I went to Options/Cookies to select "Cookies to Keep" I was dumbstruck to see that the list of "Cookies to Delete" included literally EVERY website that I've ever accessed over the ten months that I've owned my new laptop. All this time I was running CCleaner I thought that I was erasing my internet tracks yet this information still exists! My question: from where does CCleaner 3.0 derive it's list of "Cookies to Delete" and how do I remove this list from my computer? Thanks again for any help.
