    Winapp2.ini additions

    in CCleaner

    Posted · Edited by APMichael
    Updated GitHub link.

    Thanks for your revised and new entries.

    I opened a new pull request on GitHub. File for testing:
    https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/raw/4564c8a5d8f61e0b0d3a2e86bfb78762ab19238e/Winapp2.ini

    Revised Entry ... Changed the entry name from [Lock Files *] to [Parental Controls *] ...

    This seems to be a misinterpretation. The file "parent.lock" isn't a "Parental Control".
    The file tells Firefox that the profile is already in use, so it's also known as the profile lock file.

    [SetupMetrics *] is not a part of Google Chrome anymore. I think it should be removed.

    Because people using many different versions of Chrome or Chromium-based browsers, the entry currently can't be removed.

    WebRTC is a Google Chrome addon. I don't have this but, the entry, WebRTCIdentityStore still shows up.

    WebRTC is an API build into Chrome. (The addon is used for disabling that feature, because Chrome itself doesn't offer a possibility to disable it.)

    Thanks for your revised entries. Just two quick questions:

    Modified entry:  [Syncios Cell Phone Backup & Manage *]

    Are there any important *.log files? If no, we could merge FileKey2 and 3 to: FileKey2=%AppData%\Syncios Data Transfer|*.log|RECURSE

    [Syncios Cell Phone Backup & Manage *]
    LangSecRef=3024
    Detect1=HKCU\Software\Syncios
    Detect2=HKCU\Software\Syncios Data Transfer
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%AppData%\Syncios|android.log;log.txt
    FileKey2=%AppData%\Syncios Data Transfer|*.log|RECURSE
    FileKey3=%Documents%\Syncios Data Transfer|preference_conf.ini.old.bak

    Modified entry: [Acrok Video Converter Ultimate *]

    There is already the entry [dvdcss *]. Would it be ok for you if we add your FileKey1 to this entry?

    [dvdcss *]
    LangSecRef=3023
    DetectFile1=%AppData%\.dvdcss
    DetectFile2=%AppData%\dvdcss
    DetectFile3=%UserProfile%\.dvdcss

    FileKey1=%AppData%\.dvdcss|*.*|REMOVESELF
    FileKey2=%AppData%\dvdcss|*.*|REMOVESELF

    Remove:  [Dell PC-Doctor (Logs) *]  because it is incorporated in [Dell Logs *].   Note:  Please confirm my assertion that Dell PC-Doctor (Logs) is not needed. ...

    Are you using a custom Winapp2.ini file? Because this entry doesn't exist in the official file. And yes, it is covered by the entry [Dell Logs *] already.

    Modified Entry:  [Dell PC Doctor *] changed to [Dell PC Doctor (.dmp) *]

    As we don't use brackets in entries names anymore, is [Dell PC Doctor Dumps *] also ok for you?

    New Entry ... [HSTS supercookies*] ...

    This entry [Firefox Stored HSTS Cookies Extras *] is in the "Removed entries.ini" file, because CCleaner can clean up the "SiteSecurityServiceState.txt" file itself.

    ... %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*|places.sqlite ...

    CCleaner can clean up that file also (CCleaner modifies the SQLite database directly). If there are still traces left, you could report them to Piriform.

    New app - Sonata (Accounting software)

    Thanks for the new entry.

    The location of the backups (FileKey3) seems to be user-defined (not everybody has a second partition D). Therefore, we can add FileKey1 and 2 only.

    I think we should add this HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore

    If you remove the key "VirtualStore" you will remove settings of old legacy applications (coded for Windows XP and older) or wrong coded applications.

    You can see it on siliconman01s screenshot. And the Microsoft documentation explains it also:

    Quote

    Virtualization Overview

    Prior to Windows Vista, applications were typically run by administrators. As a result, applications could freely access system files and registry keys. If these applications were run by a standard user, they would fail due to insufficient access rights. Windows Vista and later versions of Windows improve application compatibility for these applications by automatically redirecting these operations. For example, registry operations to the global store (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software) are redirected to a per-user location within the user's profile known as the virtual store (HKEY_USERS\_Classes\VirtualStore\Machine\Software).

    Here you can find a more detailed explanation: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2007.06.uac.aspx

    (Piriform could improve CCleaner, so that it checks the HKLM RegKeys also under HKCU\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE. Unfortunately, they never react on those feature requests.)

    Revised Entry
    Removed unnecessary FileKeys

    [Store *] ...
    FileKey4=%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_*\AC\TokenBroker\Cache|*.*|RECURSE ...

    As far as I know, this is a combined entry for the Store App of Windows 8/8.1 and 10. Your revised version would work on Windows 10 only!

    WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy = Windows 8/8.1
    Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe = Windows 10

    And about the FileKey4 of your revised version:

    On 2.3.2018 at 23:08, SMalik said:

    In Windows 8/10, TokenBroker/Cache is being used to store login infos, so this should be removed from all the Windows 8/10 related entries. There was a similar issue with the [Security Service Token Cache *] entry, where Windows Insider Program account login infos were being removed.

    ExcludeKey's should be removed from the Microsoft Store apps rules. There is no harm in removing the container.dat file. Other programs remove this file.

    ExcludeKey1=FILE|%LocalAppData%\Packages\*\AC\INetCache\|container.dat

    We had discussed this in March already. Some quotes:

    Those apps need the ExcludeKey: Bing Weather, HuluPlus, Netflix (and maybe other?)

    BTW, I checked the container.dat files on my system. They all are empty and have 0 KB. And they get recreated after deletion. It seems there's no reason for deleting them.

    It is similar to the ExcludeKeys of the entry Chrome [Logs *]: most of the Chrome extensions are working flawless without them, but not all.

    I suggest that we change the name of [My Office *] to something like [MS Office Hub App*]  or [MS Office 2019 Hub *]

    I'm not sure if people will understand something like "Office Hub" if the displayed name of the app is still "My Office"?

    CCleaner Beta v5.48.001

    The new Beta looks good, but I found a little bug on the "Privacy" page: If you left-click a second time (anywhere), some parts of the text just disappear. You need to change the language to German to see the bug.

    And still not fixed: crashing in Windows Safe Mode (boot option 4)...
