Privacy Sweep WinZip registry key removal

[CrazyTim]

It seems that in ASC | Maintain Windows | Privacy Sweep that these registry keys

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\filemenu

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\DefDir

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\ExtractTo

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\gzAddDir

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\zDefDir

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\AddDir

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\gzExtractTo

 

are being removed, if the Other Applications | Utilities | WinZip box is checked in the tree in Privacy Sweep's left window pane. (See the first attached screen shot.)

 

Within WinZip, there is a configuration area that has a Folders tab. (See the second attached screen shot.)

 

Apparently, some of those keys Privacy Sweep is removing, above, are affecting the deletion of some of the configuration settings for my WinZip Folders, which I have specifically set. I don't want ASC Privacy Sweep to change my WinZip configuration settings.

 

However, I do want my WinZip Recent Files list to be removed by ASC -- just the same as the MS Office Word or MS Office Excel Recent Files lists are removed when, in Privacy Sweep, the Other Applications | Applications | MS Office(97/XP/2003/2007) checkbox is checked. Checking that checkbox doesn't change any MS Office configuration settings, does it?

 

OK. How do I have ASC remove the WinZip Recent Files list without my WinZip Folder configuration settings being changed?

 

 

Thx!

Having further investigated this, it is these items

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\DefDir

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\ExtractTo

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\gzAddDir

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\zDefDir

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\AddDir

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories\gzExtractTo

 

being removed by ASC Privacy Sweep, which are screwing up my WinZip configuration settings. I really don't think the WinZip Folders locations configuration settings are any privacy issue.

 

 

It is the values which might be in this key

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\filemenu

 

which contain the files that WinZip has recently opened.

 

Thx for taking a look at fixing this as I do think the way ASC is handling this may be WAD, but not WAI.
