CCleaner v2.35.1219 won't detect Adobe Flash Player

Recommended Posts

I installed the latest version (v2.35.1223) and I am puzzled. When I compare the embedded *.INI file info of v2.35.1219 with v2.35.1223 I don't see any changes but in spite of that the latest version does detect Adobe Flash Player. And in spite of that *.xpt file not being present in that particular folder.

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

What's the difference between the embedded .ini file and the winapp.ini file in the CCleaner folder?

 

CCleaners INI's have been embedded into the exe for a while. Either you have a really old ini, or you've been downloading the embedded ones and putting them in the ccleaner folder. Deleting it does nothing, since its already inside the exe.

I always update CCleaner by installing the new version over the old one.

So the winapp.ini file in the CCleaner folder must be a leftover and useless.

 

Just got back 39.0 KB of my HD. :)

 

Thanks

I think that the difference (maybe and this is only a guess) that detects have now become OR as opposed to AND

by which I mean

oldversion

Detect=hkcr...

and

detectfile=%wirdir%...

 

newversion

Detect=hkcr...

or

detectfile=%windir%...
