Winapp2.ini additions


Winapp2.ini

Recommended Posts

I think he (Trader5858) was trying to tell us he made a file called winsys2.ini and wanted to combine it with Winapp2 entries. I was looking through them and he has some listed websites that I don't understand what they were for. He also had some more agressive entries in there. I don't know, maybe some of them are ok to add, if anyone wanted to go through them.

 

I wonder if that was Neverbloom on a alt account? He did mention Neverbloom's ban. Makes you wonder...

 

Anyways, anyone know when he will be able to update the Winapp2 file. Also, I would suggest throwing it on GitHub. It would help in situations like this.

I am a maintainer for Winapp2. I also have a open-source group on Steam.

Forks of chrome are already cleaned by cclean

 

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 can only presume that's why he/she was banned, didn't see anything remotely spammy about his/her postings, seemed to be trying to help (in a rather hard to understand way)

Does anyone know if ALL files are safe to delete ?  I guess the C:\BOOTSECT.BAK is not?

this is safe to delete

 

you can take this in your include-list in ccleaner. --> with "files and subfolders"

Versions of CCleaner Cloud; Introduction Ccleaner Cloud;

Es ist möglich, keine Fehler zu machen und dennoch zu verlieren. Das ist kein Zeichen von Schwäche. Das ist das Leben -> "Picard"

\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA\OPA11.BAK is certainly NOT safe to delete. (been caught out with that one myself) :)

 

deleting it breaks Office, requiring it to be reinstalled the next time one of the Office suite of programs is used.

Backup now & backup often.

I wonder why so many "so-called cleaning tools" still target that file after over 12 years of causing users grief upon its removal.

I would argue that was a safe assumption. but no longer.

Historically, by the very name of the extension, they should be safe to delete.

BAK for backup and TMP for temporary.

 

The user shouldn't be held at blame on being caught out by some stupid MS programmer using BAK for an important file.

Almost any other extension would have been better.

 

But the user is certainly to blame for not learning the lesson the hard way. ^_^

It just demonstrates that any file cleaning, no matter how seemingly innocent, has cause and effect.

I would argue it's NEVER been a safe assumption, I can remember it causing issues as long as I've been using computers. Admittedly not a LOT of issues, but certainly enough issues for long enough for the message to have sunk in that you can't judge a file's value by it's extension.
