Moderators Andavari Posted December 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 11, 2010 I'm having issues excluding a folder via the CCleaner GUI where CCleaner will remove the folder even though it's listed as excluded! What I'm excluding is the Microsoft Security Essentials signature file temporary update folder located not very smartly in the Windows\Temp folder here: C:\WINDOWS\Temp\6035AFDD-C55A-4C97-A6F1-3BD03CFA2A60-Sigs I exclude that folder location because I've had update issues with Microsoft Security Essentials if it's removed. When excluded in the CCleaner GUI the resulting exclusion listed in ccleaner.ini looks like this - but it doesn't work, pay attention to this tacked onto the end of it which is the problem: \|*.* PATH|C:\WINDOWS\Temp\6035AFDD-C55A-4C97-A6F1-3BD03CFA2A60-Sigs\|*.* Now when I manually edit ccleaner.ini to remove \|*.* making the exclusion look exactly like this CCleaner will then properly ignore the folder location leaving it intact, which is exactly what I want and need to happen: PATH|C:\WINDOWS\Temp\6035AFDD-C55A-4C97-A6F1-3BD03CFA2A60-Sigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailback Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 It's not intuitive but you can do what you want through the ui. Add the folder. Click "file types". (The OK button is still disabled.) Enter just a dot . in the edit box. (The OK button is enabled.) Click OK. Your entry will be saved like this. PATH|C:\WINDOWS\Temp\|6035AFDD-C55A-4C97-A6F1-3BD03CFA2A60-Sigs Not the same as your code above, though. Note the placement of the pipe. Again, it's not intuitive.
