Moderators Andavari Posted August 23, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2013 I know from past experience deleting license.txt files can break some programs (admittedly only happened to me once but I've left them alone ever since). The same here, I also leave them alone because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Does it make sense to delete a program's License, Readme and WhatsNew files? Nope.

Moderators Nergal Posted August 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) The entries listed below are very aggressive. These should not be in Winapp2.ini.

I've been removing this for months on Windows 7 and Windows 8 with no issues uncovered...at least on my systems. After removing the NVIDIA Graphics Driver Installation Files, I tried 4 different registry cleaner programs and they all found NVIDIA driver related data as errors since the driver installations files were not present. I removed NVIDIA driver related data from the Windows Registry. After that, I was not able to update the driver or uninstall the driver either. The [Nvidia Graphics Driver Installation Files*] does contain the warning Warning=You will not be able to do an uninstall of your drivers without first reinstalling them.

siliconman01 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 The Nvidia in CCleaner as well as the "just removed" Nvidia entry in Winapp2.ini below [Nvidia Graphics Driver Installation Files*] LangSecRef=3023 Detect=HKCU\Software\NVIDIA Corporation Default=False FileKey1=%SystemDrive%\Nvidia|*.*|REMOVESELF are the same. This folder is nothing more than the extracted files from the Nvidia installer. This extraction occurs when users download a nVidia graphics update and then run the installer. The installer extracts the files to the %SystemDrive%\Nvidia folder. It then installs the new nVidia files and completes the update. Once the update is completed, the extracted files in %SystemDrive%\Nvidia are no longer needed or used. Deleting them has no negative affect on a user's system. At one time the entry below was included in Winapp2.ini [Nvidia Graphics Driver Installation Files*] LangSecRef=3023 Detect=HKCU\Software\NVIDIA Corporation Default=False Warning=You will not be able to do an uninstall of your drivers without first reinstalling them. FileKey1=%SystemDrive%\Nvidia|*.*|REMOVESELF FileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer2|*.*|RECURSE FileKey2 was the entry that was causing problems with removing Nvidia graphics file because it was removing an huge folder named Installer2 which has the uninstaller.exe file in it. FileKey2 was removed a few months back and the warning was removed as well. If users have not updated Winapp2.ini since that error was discovered then they could definitely run into a problem with using CCleaner. I am running 326.80 (which is a beta version of nVidia graphics for my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 graphics card) on my Windows 8 x64 Professional systems.

siliconman01 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 http://forum.pirifor...260#entry237883 The post above recommends that [Windows Search Cache*] be removed from Winapp2.ini. Even with DetectOS=|6.2 it is showing up on Windows 8 and also Windows 7.

Winapp2.ini Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 WFM on Windows 7 so I figured I'd hide it from Windows 8. Admittedly, I didn't test the DetectOS and even after 3 years the formatting confuses me.. What exactly is it doing to your windows 7 CCleaner_Fan? winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winapp2.ini Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Is it okay if I add that to [Windows Log Files More*] LangSecRef=3025 DetectFile=%WinDir%\Panther Default=False FileKey1=%WinDir%\inf|setupapi.offline.log FileKey2=%WinDir%\Panther|cbs.log;DDACLSys.log FileKey3=%WinDir%\winsxs|poqexec.log ? winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 29, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2013 You can if you want however there is no "Panther" folder existing in older OSes like WinXP for a DetectFile or any cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siliconman01 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 WFM on Windows 7 so I figured I'd hide it from Windows 8. Admittedly, I didn't test the DetectOS and even after 3 years the formatting confuses me.. What exactly is it doing to your windows 7 CCleaner_Fan? Here is the way I've analzyed that format to work.....using Windows 8 as an example DetectOS=6.2 = Show only on Windows 8 DetectOS=|6.2 = Show on Windows 8 and earlier versions of Windows, but not on versions later than Windows 8 DetectOS=6.2| = Show on Windows 8 and later versions of Windows There is no option that states "Show on all versions (earlier and later versions) except Windows 8". So if you want code to show on all versions but the latest version of Windows which is Windows 8, you would set it as DetectOS=|6.1 which says show on Windows 7 and earlier versions but not on Windows 8 or later. There needs to be a format that states "show on all versions but the specified version". For example: DetectOS=|6.2| = could say "Show on all versions earlier than Windows 8, all versions later than Windows 8, but do not show on Windows 8.

CCleaner_Fan Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 What exactly is it doing to your windows 7 CCleaner_Fan? Folder icons are missing text labels after hibernation or a certain period of time, so I have to restart explorer.exe. I can tell you this didn't happen when I took the advice saad2011 or the previous version of winapp2,ini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
