Winapp2.ini additions


Winapp2.ini

Recommended Posts

Great work Winapp2.ini and everyone else involved. this is a great project. I've uploaded my Winapp2.ini file which has about 10 new and modified entries, like F0rtr3z software and WinXP/Win 7 muicache, shellbags etc because I added new locations not included in the original file. Hoping this will be helpful for you guys :)

 

keep up the good work!

Failure to post winapp2.ini entries in the regular format that everyone else does. That's why your winapp2.ini upload was deleted!

Sorry guys, I forgot some of the locations/entries I added and modified but from memory search acmru, all shellbags, fortres, muicache, windows related entries. there is a great tool called http://www.diffchecker.com/

 

paste my winapp2 into the original text box and the newest version of winapp2 into the modified text. it should highlight all of what i have added and modified (+ some removed/modified by winapp themselves in the past months)

 

also maybe not already included are these 2 locations :

 

For Windows XP, the entries are stored in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Search Assistant \ ACMru \ 5603

For Windows Classic Search, the entries are stored in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Explorer Bars \ {C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1} \ FilesNamedMRU

 

and do not remove [MS Search More*] and [Windows Search Cache*] these entries are very useful.

and please add Windows Remote Desktop logs, cache etc remover AND Microsoft Security Essentials logs, caches entries! I've noticed almost no entries for this! please search for these locations masters!

 

 

peace!

dude,of course we know how to compare thing even can do with only notepad

just that winapp2.ini got many other thing to do other than looking for custom entries made by others

what we need to do is to make it easy for him to update and also let others see the entries so we can discuss whether to include or not the entries

sorry, no offence

 

i can confirm that [Windows Search Cache*] locked in normal and safe mode even with windows search disabled

need to be remove

I fully concur with dvdbane.

It is YOUR responsibility to provide entries in the same format that everyone else uses.

Sorry guys, I forgot some of the locations/entries I added and modified but from memory search acmru, all shellbags, fortres, muicache, windows related entries. there is a great tool called http://www.diffchecker.com/

Sorry but this results in maximum effort and minimum benefit,

and wins my vote for the most stupid file comparator of the year.

 

The latest official Winapp2.ini commences with

; Version: v4.05.130826

; Application Cleaning file

;

; Notes

; # of entries: 1,534

 

Your file commences with

; Version: v4.00.130326

; Application Cleaning file

;

; Notes

; # of entries: 1,362

 

It is obvious that you have the modified the first "Beta" released version with 1362 entries intended for v4.00 CCleaner.exe

and you are asking that we compare it with the latest version with 1534 entries.

 

There are probably over 200 entries that have been added, and perhaps several dozen removed because CCleaner.exe now includes within built in rules,

so you expect us to recognise which of 200 hundred differences are not from you ?

 

I actually tried to see how bad diffchecker was.

It was really bad.

Your DiffChecker gave me a display list with consecutive line numbers from 1 through to 11917

I have never seen a more useless File comparator.

Why should we be required to download some other software to just find out what you've added and forgotten about? Sigh.

 

Edit:

Since you refuse to comply with what everyone else has been doing with submitting entries from day #1 of the winapp2.ini file I've deleted your upload!

Well you Winapp2.ini (person) I'm sure have better things to do than painstakingly sifting through someones whole winapp2.ini (file) to find changes. Uploading the whole thing and expecting you to do that is completely unacceptable!

Feel free to PM me your full copy of winapp2.ini, vBender. I'm fairly sure I've got a way to very simply weed out the duplicates.

 

Trim.bat creates a list of the headers in winapp2.ini, so if I just insert the current winapp2.ini on top of vbenders and run it (barring any funky issues caused by doing that) I should have a list of all of the current ones mixed in with vBenders that I can run against a list of the headers from the current file. That should narrow it down to removed entries in the last 5 months (easy enough) and his added ones.

 

Wont pick up modifications though :(

Original - already in winapp2.ini:

[Windows XP Error Reporting*]
DetectOS=|5.2
LangSecRef=3025
Default=False
FileKey1=%WinDir%\pchealth\ERRORREP|*.*|RECURSE

 

Updated, added FileKey2 and Warning. Not sure about the DetectOS, I thought XP was 5.1. Also on my system FileKey2 will only get cleaned as it's listed below using %userprofile%.

[Windows XP Error Reporting*]
DetectOS=|5.2
LangSecRef=3025
Default=False
Warning=This deletes the error reports generated by Windows (such as failed Windows Updates) that Microsoft Error Reporting requests to upload directly to Microsoft. Make sure you upload the error reports before using this cleaner, that way Microsoft may be able to fix the problem in a future Windows Update.
FileKey1=%WinDir%\pchealth\ERRORREP|*.*|RECURSE
FileKey2=%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\PCHealth\ErrorRep\QSignoff|*.*

 

xp is 5.1, this was my workaround solution to "show this on XP and everything older" - the missing DetectOS option.

New Entry

 

[RegSeeker (Backups)*]
LangSecRef=3024
DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\RegSeeker\RegSeeker.exe
Default=False
FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\RegSeeker\Backup|*.*|RECURSE

I would suggest a warning be added to that entry as deleting reg backups from a registry cleaner as aggressive as Regseeker (or ANY reg cleaner for that matter) is not necessarily a good idea.

Exists on WinXP:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{de5aed00-a4bf-11d1-9948-00c04f98bbc9}

 

Does not exist on WinXP:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp

 

May be just as easy to add in:

DetectFile=%AppData%\Microsoft\HTML Help\hh.dat
