Add new Applications to CCleaner

While I was researching one topic I stumbled upon another that is related to CCleaner that might be of interest to everyone who is using that application. CCleaner comes preinstalled with the ability to clean temporary files and data of several applications such as Paintshop Pro, Macromedia Flash or Symantec Antivirus. New applications can be added to this list and there is actually an improved ini file available in the CCleaner forums that adds several new applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Reader or DC++ to the list of applications in CCleaner.

All you need to do is download the new ini file called winapp2.zip from the CCleaner forums, unpack it and extract it into the CCleaner directory. It will overwrite the old ini file. The old file has a size of 40K while the new one one of 60K, that should give you a rough idea on how many new applications are added by using it.

The Beginners guide contains an extensive chapter that explains how you can add your own ini entries to CCleaner to extend the functionality even further. It does not sound to complicated at first glance but you need some basic understanding of Windows, the Registry and file parameters.
