Winapp2.ini additions

[Winapp2.ini]

I was just curious if it caused issues. I have many orphaned entries from my testing entries myself

[Alan_B]

The ccleaner.ini file, as it is now, is just a seqential mess. Changes are seemingly tacked on at the bottom. Or maybe this is a job for Piriform's engineers to do.

It is only logical for CCleaner.exe to scan in sequential name order all the registry keys and folders that tell it which applications are installed,

and as each DETECT occurs the relevant DELETE(s) are appended to the CCleaner.INI list.

Sequential names of DETECTs result in non-sequential names of DELETEs

 

To sort you only need two DOS commands

REN CCLEANER.INI CCLEANER.BAK
SORT < CCLEANER.BAK > CCLEANER.INI

 

NB

I assume CCleaner will be happy to accept a sorted *.INI

Actually it causes problems because things become unticked ("false") in CCleaner, such as everything under 'Advanced', 'Compact Databases' under Google Chrome, etc., etc., etc!

weird, I have not experienced that Andavari, did you make sure [options] stays on top (Alan that's what your batch needs a command to skip line 1)

I originally was only atrempting to meet the requirement to sort and just hoped it would meet a perceived need.

 

This script works for me :-

 

@ECHO OFF
COPY /Y CCLEANER.INI CCLEANER.BAK
ECHO [Options] > CCLEANER.INI
SORT < CCLEANER.BAK | FIND /V "[" >> CCLEANER.INI

 

I tested with CC324 and WinApp2.ini v1.0.121112

I launched CC and checked all boxes other than Firefox and Analyzed (but did not Run Cleaner) and exported the results to text :- Log3.txt

I closed CCleaner and then ran the above script

I launched CC and checked all boxes other than Firefox and Analyzed (but did not Run Cleaner) and exported the results to text :- Log4.txt

In each case there was 251 MB to be removed.

 

I used third party utility Wincp3.exe to compare Log3.txt with Log4.txt

It found each file was 426 lines in length,

and every line was identical apart from the first lines, i.e.

ANALYSIS COMPLETE - (4.767 secs) in log3.txt

ANALYSIS COMPLETE - (4.749 secs) in log4.txt

 

N.B. The Window_Height/Left/Etc Parameter lines are in a different sequence but the values are not damaged and the Window opens the same.

The "Update Key" is dropped from line 2 down to line 137 but I do not think this has any impact on operation.

New Entry

This entry removes the backups of old versions from the Join.Me program. I tested this on Windows 7 and it worked just fine. This will remove any old versions.

 

 

[Join.Me Install Backups*]

LangSecRef=3022

Detect=HKCU\Software\join.me

Warning="This will remove all old versions of Join.Me that are automatically backed up when new versions are

installed"

Default=False

FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\join.me\join.me.*.*.*.*|*.*|REMOVESELF

[Winapp2.ini]

Thanks!

With the Internet Explorer More* entry it has a couple FileKeys that clean the CryptnetUrlCache folders

 

One would assume those can also be cleaned for the Apps?

I've tested cleaning them for the Mail, Weather, Bing, Sports, News. They all fuction normally after cleaning.

 

[Windows 8 App Cache*]
LangSecRef=3021
DetectOS=6.2|
Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Default=False
FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Packages\*.*\AC\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\Content|*.*
FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\Packages\*.*\AC\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData|*.*
FileKey3=%LocalAppData%\Packages\*\AC\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\Content|*.*
FileKey4=%LocalAppData%\Packages\*\AC\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData|*.*

 

Edit:

Left out these two until I can test them more.

FileKey5=%LocalAppData%\Packages\*.*\LocalState\Cache|*.*|RECURSE

FileKey6=%LocalAppData%\Packages\*\LocalState\Cache|*.*|RECURSE

[Winapp2.ini]

Sounds about right

[Alan_B]

A new script that I have tested on my normal configuration,

with some options checked and others unchecked,

and with some includes and some excludes.

 

The only difference I have observed from ANALYZE logs when running with the "normal" CCleaner.INI and the sorted variant is

ANALYSIS COMPLETE - (1.420 secs) using "normal" CCleaner.INI

ANALYSIS COMPLETE - (1.422 secs) using "sorted" CCleaner.INI

 

The code :-

@ECHO OFF
COPY /Y CCLEANER.INI CCLEANER.BAK
FIND /V "(App)" < CCLEANER.BAK > CCLEANER.INI
FIND "(App)" < CCLEANER.BAK | SORT >> CCLEANER.INI

 

The end result is that all the Applications are in sorted order at the end of the CC*.ini file,

and everything else appears in unsorted order at the beginning.

Works perfectly here :-)

Modified Entry

Changed from REMOVESELF to RECURSE

[.Thumbnails*]
LangSecRef=3021
DetectFile=%UserProfile%\.Thumbnails
Default=False
FileKey1=%UserProfile%\.Thumbnails|*.*|RECURSE

[Winapp2.ini]

Thanks!

Here's my submission for a messenger QIP, very popular in ex-USSR :

 

[QIP 2012 Logs*]
LangSecRef=3022
DetectFile=%AppData%\QIP
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\QIP\Profiles\*\Logs|*.*

[QIP 2012 Avatars*]
LangSecRef=3022
DetectFile=%AppData%\QIP
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\QIP\Profiles\*\VkAvatars|*.*

FileKey4=%AppData%\QIP\Profiles\*\PicHashes|*.*

[QIP 2012 Privacy items*]
LangSecRef=3022
DetectFile=%AppData%\QIP
Default=False
Warning=Selecting this will delete any contact list backups, chats history, received files, opened tabs settings and other non-encrypted privacy items.
FileKey1=%AppData%\QIP\Profiles\*\BackupCL|*.*
FileKey2=%AppData%\QIP\Profiles\*\History|*.*|RECURSE
FileKey3=%AppData%\QIP\Profiles\*\RcvdFiles|*.*|RECURSE
FileKey4=%AppData%\QIP\Profiles\*\ICQ|*.*|RECURSE
FileKey5=%AppData%\QIP\Profiles\*\session.tabs

 

An update. For some reason the QIP entries in the current version of Winapp2.ini contain Detect=HKCU\Software\QIP instead of DetectFile=%AppData%\QIP, and thus is not detected, at least on my machine. I suggest to use DetectFile=%AppData%\QIP.

[Winapp2.ini]

Will revert.

 

In other news, I realized I can do something and have made winapp2.ini more than 8Kb smaller

And you're just gonna tease and not tell us such an exciting discovery?

And you're just gonna tease and not tell us such an exciting discovery?

 

 

Edit: Total up to 12KiB from the current version, it did shave 2.3Kb off of one of the new entries alone though

 

The secret is winapp.ini

Replacing [Windows Compatibility Assistant*] with this one:

[Winapp2.ini]

I actually learned that using |6.1| shows on pre 6.1 systems, but not post 6.1 systems.

 

Can't figure out a way to limit detection to just one version

[Coffee4Joe]

Modified

Added filekey2

[Windows Sticky Notes Cache*]
LangSecRef=3021
Warning=Selecting this will also delete all sticky notes currently in use.
DetectFile=%AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes
Default=False
FileKey1=%AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes|*.snt
FileKey2=%UserProfile%\Searches|Sticky Notes (Windows Sticky Notes).searchconnector-ms

 

edit: Thought cleaning FileKey2 would stop EventViewer from reporting a search warning for sticky notes, turns out it's located in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search\ProcessedSearchRoots\0004

But I don't think that key would be the same for everyone

MODIFIED ENTRY

Added all the Roxio Creator 2012 Pro entries ([Roxio Creator 2012 Pro*], [Roxio Log Files*] and [Roxio Temp Files*]) together and changed the Detect path.

I am testing Roxio Creator NXT Pro right now. Everything in one entry.

[Winapp2.ini]

Somewhat interesting sidenote:

 

What I've done to decrease the file size seems to have increased the speed a tiny bit too. My limited testing showed that recursive cleaning was slightly faster (though I just made 240 empty files of different types and tested with that, the old way was 0.022s and the new was was 0.014 seconds, and I made sure to close ccleaner after the first clean)

 

Probably not significant in the long run, but maybe some of the slower recursive cleaners will speed up a bit now.

Looking forward to experiencing your enhancements in the next release. Certainly do appreciate your efforts and continued support of winapp2.ini. It is a significant part of maintaining a top performing system.
