Winapp2.ini Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 here's something I've been missing for ages: (deletes all dialog history including searches (find function) in winrar) working code, please add this: [WinRAR Dialog History*] LangSecRef=3024 Detect=HKCU\Software\WinRAR\DialogEditHistory Default=False RegKey1=HKCU\Software\WinRAR\DialogEditHistory have been trying to do a code that deletes all subfolders separately instead of deleting the entire DIalogEditHistory key for almost 1 hour now... tried stuff like RegKey1=HKCU\Software\WinRAR\DialogEditHistory|*.*|REMOVESELF|ArcName|FindArcNames|FindNames RegKey1=HKCU\Software\WinRAR\DialogEditHistory|*.*|RECURSE|ArcName|FindArcNames|FindNames RegKey1=HKCU\Software\WinRAR\DialogEditHistory|*.* RegKey1=HKCU\Software\WinRAR\DialogEditHistory|*.*|REMOVESELF RegKey1=HKCU\Software\WinRAR\DialogEditHistory|*.*|RECURSE and all that stuff with a slash on the end, just like this: RegKey1=HKCU\Software\WinRAR\DialogEditHistory\|*.*|RECURSE RegKey1=HKCU\Software\WinRAR\DialogEditHistory\|*.*|REMOVESELF etc. even tried using * instead of *.*, because that would make sense, as *.* usually stand for filename.extension since at least 1981, and regkeys don't have any extensions. but nothing works! dammit! I'm already tearing my hair out... so I hope you'll just accept my code from above which is the only one that's working at all. thanks Thanks! winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 As is, it's removing the key and subkeys on win7 and just the subkeys in winxp for me. With it just recreating the Key and subkeys of Exts when I open a ext type. After changing it to RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer|FileExts it regenerated the whole entire list edit. the |FileExts didn't work. The list was regenerated when I task killed explorer and restarted it. Maybe it can't be removed winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siliconman01 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 [Cached File Extensions*] LangSecRef=3025 Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer Default=False RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts I recommend that this code be removed from WinApp2.ini. On doing a manual removal of this key, several of my programs no long recognized their file associations. Outlook also lost the fact that it was the default email client. The FileExts key does start to regenerate itself, but it does require some manual intervention (as stated above) during this regeneration. I don't think this is something that WinApp2.ini should invoke on users. Note: I had manually backed up the FileExts key before manually removing it.

JDPower Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Or just add warning message to it? I think removal would be the better option, for the very limited functionality the entry provides it's not worth the hassle (IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Yeah, it seems like it'd cause more problems than it's worth, and doesn't actually appear to do anything beneficial. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a registered user of R-Wipe&Clean and East-Tec Eraser since these programs are out. Both the programs have an option to remove Cached File Extensions. I always use this option on 2 diff. machines (Win 7 32-bit and 64-bit), never had a problem. BTW it is just a 'CACHED' copy of user's File Extensions.

Alan_B Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Code to kill and then restart Explorer.exe. You need to kill and restart explorer.exe to remove Tray Notification cache after running CCleaner. @echo off taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe start explorer.exe exit Would you not get the same result by rebooting the P.C., which also kills and restarts explorer.exe (and much more) ? Why would you want CCleaner to take special action if the cache is destined for oblivion at the end of the day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMalik Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 How about @echo off taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe cd C:\Program Files\CCleaner\ ccleaner.exe /AUTO explorer.exe Even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
