artist Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I don't think I'd better fiddle with it.I read somewhere that not everything should be ticked when cleaning the registry - mine are. I haven't had any problems so far tho I do always make a backup if there's much to change (very rare) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Anyone tried this out?Yes, I have used winapp2.ini for many years. But I didn't know that someone is now peddling this outside of Piriform (the company that develops CCleaner) - thank you for that information.The download site currently displaysVisitors, we are sorry, however, this site is experiencing difficulties at this time. Please return later.Anyway, winapp2.ini can be downloaded directly from http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=1110 (well, it involves a little bit of cutting-and-pasting).And here is an application that can be used to develop your own entries into winapp2.ini: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=24837.I read somewhere that not everything should be ticked when cleaning the registry...Note that winapp2.ini does not affect the registry cleaning portion of CCleaner, just the standard application cleaning.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 This software is also discussed in the Piriform forums, where MrG - the founder of Piriform - called it "illegal repackaging". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Has anyone actually tried it, and how long was it before the cleaned applications started malfunctioning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bludgard Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Somehow I lost my cmd promt out of accessories folder.Wonder what caused that?:lol: It's harmless at this point....I'm not completely convinced that cleaning/optimizing the registry is absolutely necessary in Windows 7.It's a hot topic though!

-pops- Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Does Ccleaner need enhancing? I don't think so, therefore I will leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
