Regarding the [VLC media player More*] entry..

 

[VLC media player More*]

LangSecRef=3023

DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe

Default=False

FileKey1=%AppData%\vlc|*.cache-3

FileKey2=%AppData%\vlc|*.ini

 

I simply would remove the last line FileKey2 with the .ini in it. It is there that the configuration is stored. Also, the custom menu layout is stored in this ini file.

 

FileKey1 with the cache stuff is just fine. Please leave it as such.

 

I supposed I got pissed because I didn't fully review what the new entries did, and lost my custom setup.

I don't believe CCleaner should do anything to reset applications to their default installation state.

 

But this isn't as bad as the itunes entry (from a previous winapp2.ini) that erased all the playlist files. Some folks put hours and days into making custom lists for all sorts of occasions. And to wipe them out? Who's the asshat that thunked that one up?? While backing them up is easy as exporting them, I bet a lot of folks don't bother. It's easy enough to kill them in itunes anyways.

 

Not only that, the entry kills the library and backup. You might as well have installed iTunes on a fresh PC - so bad this is. Potentially screwing you out of hundreds or thousands of dollars of purchased music and other media. Not to mention the time put into building a digital music library over the years. My iTunes playlist/library is 7 years old and has grown to 25,000 songs and 80 playlists for all occasions. And to kill it with misplaced checkmark? GOOD GOD!!!

 

Well thanks to backups from the previous week, no big deal for me. It cost me about 1 hour to restore stuff. But whatabout other folks? There's gonna be an ohh-s**t moment sooner or later.

 

I know it's good practice to check stuff out prior to using it, but when you have backups you're golden, and ya' can do things that are more risky. And you get stupid.

 

Besides, why ohh why would you want to return iTunes to it's default state with every run of CCleaner? Here's the offender! I don't recall immediately if it is in the current winapp2.ini or not.

 

[iTunes Library & Playlist*]

LangSecRef=3023

DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe

Default=False

FileKey1=%Music%\iTunes|iTunes Music Library.xml

FileKey2=%Music%\iTunes|iTunes Library.itl

 

Don't get me wrong, I love all the work being put into winapp2.ini and suggest we continue on as we have been.

Missed this modified entry:

[Jagex Cache*]
LangSecRef=3023

This entry should be as is, wildcards don't work in DetectFile path (or at least not in this one, just tested it). In the FileKey you can use wildcards, though:

[Windows Prefetch*]
LangSecRef=3025
DetectFile1=%WinDir%\Prefetch
Default=False
FileKey1=%WinDir%\Prefetch|*.*

 

Bad idea, this is built into CCleaner and not cleaned on win7/vista because it is detrimental to performance of the superfetch

 

[Windows Live Setup Logs*]
LangSecRef=3025
DetectFile1=%ProgramData%\Microsoft\WLSetup
Default=False
FileKey1=%ProgramData%\Microsoft\WLSetup\CabLogs|Logs.CAB
FileKey2=%ProgramData%\Microsoft\WLSetup\Logs|*.log

 

This is in winapp2.ini as WLSetup, I'll change the name.

DetectFile=%CommonAppData%\Apple Computer

Didn't know it still did that, I wish apple weren't so picky. I'll remove it.

 

 

Thanks for the rest :)

Well, I'm not sure about the Apple entry 'cause I don't have iTunes installed (just remember you saying so). If someone could test it, would be nice.

And for the Prefetch; as said built-in entry cleans only XP, and yes I've read about it's affects to performance, if cleaned often. Also, if you disable Superfetch (like you should if using SSD), Windows doesn't remove the Prefetch files.

Still, most people are not running on an SSD just yet, and even more are direly uninformed as to what the prefetch does and why you shouldn't play with it.

 

I agree. I think A Better place for that would be a seperate thread, With A Title Like "SSD Drives Run Better/Longer without superfetch". In which you describe the "disable defrag & prefetch on SSD" reasoning (with links to reputable sources which agree). As well, talk about that prefetch files are left behind and can be permanently removed via that entry. If you are detailed in your thread and Take the time to make is abundantly clear that

  1. This advice is ONLY FOR SSD-as-sytem-drive Users
  2. Piriform does not (as with any winapp2 entry) provide support for the misuse

then I see no reason not to have it be a stickied thread. However it would be up to you (at least at first) to catch any questions in the thread ;)

 

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.

I don't recommend Apple Installation Temp entry. I have tried R-Wipe&Clean (http://www.r-wipe.co..._Download.shtml). That program does wipe Prefetch data. I asked the developer that how safe is to wipe the Prefetch data since Superfetch service is running. They said there is no harm to remove Layout.ini file and .pf files from Prefetch directory.

This folder is not for iTunes or QuickTime, it is for the Apple Updater itself and the Apple Application Support.

It looks like Apple does not delete old versions when installing a new one. This folder has become extremely large by old installer versions on my computer.

[installShield Cabinet-Log File Viewer*]
LangSecRef=3021
Detect=HKCU\Software\InstallShield\InstallShield Cabinet and Log File Viewer
Default=False
RegKey1=HKCU\Software\InstallShield\InstallShield Cabinet and Log File Viewer\Recent File List

 

MODIFIED ENTRY

[installShield Professional*]
LangSecRef=3021
Detect=HKCU\Software\InstallShield
Default=False
RegKey1=HKCU\Software\InstallShield\InstallShield Professional\6.0\IsCabVu|MRU1
RegKey2=HKCU\Software\InstallShield\InstallShield Professional\6.0\IsCabVu|MRU2

RegKey7=HKCU\Software\InstallShield\17.0\Professional\Recent File List
RegKey8=HKCU\Software\InstallShield\18.0\Professional\Recent File List

 

The above will work on InstallShield 2010/11/12, on the old Cabinet File Viewer (in 2010 and bellow) and new Cabinet-Log File Viewer (in 2011 and above), the old InstallShield Professional entries did nothing to clean the MRU list of the main app, it only cleaned the MRU list for the cab file viewer (IsCabVu), this is addressed in the new entries with HKCU\Software\InstallShield\16.0\Professional\Recent File List

Before:

After:

With a proposed shorter name, new detection since they make other software too, also we don't need the developer name listed in the cleaner name/title.

[Any Video Converter*]
LangSecRef=3023
Detect=HKCU\Software\AnvSoft\Any Video Converter
Default=False
