Exceptions
Previous Topic  Program Info  Next Topic   
The entries in the Exceptions screen protect important DLLs that should never be deleted, even if they look like duplicates. In addition, this screen also includes a list of folders where no scans for DLLs should be carried out because it would either be pointless, dangerous, or both.

SYSTEM SECURITY WARNING:
Please do not EVER change or delete ANY of the default entries in the Exceptions screen!

·If you do, DLL Cleaner's performance may become worse and you will have less protection for important system DLLs and other DLLs.  


What to do if you accidentally delete default entries:

If you ever accidentally delete default Exceptions entries the best thing to do is to is to restore the program defaults. You will lose any manual entries you may have added (you may want to make a note of these first so that you can add them again afterwards), but this is the only way of being absolutely sure that you are not missing any key entries.

Adding your own exceptions:

If you are an advanced user you may want to add your own exceptions to exclude specific duplicate DLLs that you know you want to keep - for example for programs that insist on having an old version of a DLL even if a newer version is available in the Windows® system folders.

See the on-screen instructions for details on adding your own exceptions to the file and folder lists.

Rule:Since exceptions always protect data, adding them is always safe. Deleting exceptions is always risky, because it reduces your protection level. See Restoring the Defaults for instructions on restoring the default exceptions settings.
