I also have never seen any "affect" from RegKeys 1-4. My MS Notepad always stays the same size that I set it for. I suggest we just eliminate these 4 keys and the warning message.

Thank you very much for your fast replies.

Thank you for your fast reply. Ok, then I will change the FileKeys of the entry [Internet Cache *] as mentioned. (This will include the .ldb and .log files from "Default".)

I meant to remove .log files from "Default" only
%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default|*.logThanks for your clarification. This 0000X.log file is also a database file. But we could change the FileKeys, as mentioned in my other post: https://forum.piriform.com/topic/32310-winapp2ini-additions/?page=298&tab=comments#comment-301811. This should work, because the other subfolders of "User Data" do not contain LevelDB files yet. Is that ok for you?

Yes, after the installation the profile folder name is "Default". However, if you add an additional user, the profile folder name for that new user is "Profile 1" (and that also adds a folder named "System Profile"). If you are using the guest mode, the profile folder name is "Guest Profile".

Let's restrict that to %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

I think SMalik means that he wants to protect the profile folder, because there are other (not profile) folders that could contain usual log files (*.log).
My suggestion would be to rename the existing entry to [LevelDB Logs *] and add a new entry [Logs *] with ExcludeKeys for the profile folders:
FileKeyX=%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome*|*.log|RECURSE
ExcludeKeyX=PATH|%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome*\User Data\Default\|*.*
ExcludeKeyX=PATH|%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome*\User Data\*Profile*\|*.*(As far as I know, Google Chrome names the profile folders "Default", "Profile X" or "XYZ Profile".)

Added *.log
[Logs *] ...
We cannot add the *.log files because all the *.log files are not usual log files. They are important database files! (I don't understand why Google chose this file extension for an important database file!?) The usual log files are only LOG and LOG.old.
Please check the links provided by Winapp2.ini.
QuoteAdded *.ldb and MANIFEST-*
I guess .ldb files keep information about downloads
[Internet Cache *] ...
The *.ldb and MANIFEST-* files are also database files.
But if you are 100% sure that this database only stores traces, we could remove all database related files from the folder, e.g.:
FileKey14=%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome*\User Data\*|*.ldb;*.log;CURRENT;LOCK;MANIFEST-*;Network Persistent State;Origin Bound Certs
(If you want to clean a LevelDB, you should always remove all related files.)

[MS Notepad *]
LangSecRef=3025
Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Notepad
Default=False
Warning=If Notepad stops remembering your window size settings, this entry will reset it back to the default size.
RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Notepad|iWindowPosDX
RegKey2=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Notepad|iWindowPosDY
RegKey3=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Notepad|iWindowPosX
RegKey4=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Notepad|iWindowPosY
RegKey5=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Notepad|replaceString
RegKey6=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Notepad|searchStringAre the RegKeys 1-4 really useful? I never had this problem.
Or should we split the RegKeys into separate entries like [MS Notepad *] and [MS Notepad Window Size*], because not everyone always wants to reset the window size?

[Installer *] entry should be removed from Google Chrome. If chrome.7z is removed it gives an error when updating Google Chrome the next time.
Thank you very much for this important note.
Yes, if the entry breaks the update function, it should be moved to Winapp3.ini.

Thanks for your fast reply.

Thank you for your revised and new entries.

Own entry? Or should we add the FileKey to [Windows Subsystems *]?

I think you misunderstood the post from Nergal. If you have checked "MyappName" at least once, CCleaner ignores the "Default=" value and uses the stored user settings instead. You can delete these user settings in the registry:
- Close CCleaner (also Smart Cleaning, if enabled).
- Open "regedit" and navigate to "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Piriform\CCleaner".
- Delete the entry "(App)MyappName".Now CCleaner should respect the "Default=" value.
The "Default=" values are only used for the preselection. If you have ever (un-)checked a cleaning rule, the "Default=" values are overwritten with the stored user settings. That is the desired behavior.

I have just used "Auslogics Registry Defrag" and think it might be a good idea to add it to winapp3.ini - ????
It is in Winapp2.ini already: [Auslogics Registry Defrag *]. If you additionally want to delete Registry backups, we could add this to Winapp3.ini. Or did you have an issue with the Winapp2.ini entry?

The issue with the cleaning rule Chrome [Logs *] should now be resolved. Now the rule only deletes usual informational logs and not important database files anymore.
(If you update the FAQ you should add the rule Chrome [Extensions Databases *], because this rule resets all extensions.)

Strange! Only an older version of CCleaner had an issue that prevented disabling "Smart Cleaning".
Are the checkboxes under "Smart Cleaning" still unticked?
You could check if there is a startup entry for CCleaner under "Tools" > "Startup" > "Windows" and disable/delete it.

Great! I'm glad I was able to help.

Thanks for your reply.

As far as I know, CCleaner does not have a rule named "chrome logs". It seems that you are using a file for extended cleaning, like the file "winapp2.ini". You should check if there is an updated version of that file.

Thanks for your reply and the information.
6 minutes ago, Ben Piriform said:In regards to the Deutsch translation bug I am unable to recreate this issue on my machine, are you still experiencing it on yours?
Yes, the bug still occurs. But I found out that the bug depends on the window size. If the window has the standard size of 800x600 the bug occurs. If you change the window width to 802 (or wider) the bug doesn't occur anymore.

Thanks for the new version.
QuoteAdded and improved cleaning to the Common Language Runtime (CLR) folders
The following FileKey seems to be wrong:
FileKey38=%SystemDirectory%\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\CLR_v3.0_32|*.log|RECURSEI think it should be:
FileKey38=%SystemDirectory%\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\CLR_v2.0_32|*.log|RECURSEAnd sadly, the following two bugs are still not fixed:

Did you also untick all checkboxes under "Smart Cleaning"?

Since we are trying to avoid duplicate Keys, I would suggest that we add a separate entry and remove the Keys from all CyberLink entries:
[CyberLink Common Cache *]
LangSecRef=3021
Detect=HKCU\Software\CyberLink
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\CyberLink\MediaCache|*.*|RECURSE
RegKey1=HKCU\Software\CyberLink\DSSharedMediaInfo\SharedInfoCache
RegKey2=HKCU\Software\CyberLink\MediaCache\Data4
RegKey3=HKCU\Software\CyberLink\MediaCache\Thumbnail4
RegKey4=HKCU\Software\CyberLink\MediaCache5\Data5
RegKey5=HKCU\Software\CyberLink\MediaCache5\Thumbnail5
