MS Office recent files should be displayed once

Recommended Posts

Currently CCleaner displays same MS Office recent files (C:\Users\USER\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Recent) multiple times as different Office versions:

Applications - Office 2003
Applications - Office 2007
Applications - Office 2010
Applications - Office XP

Double clicking them displays same files.

 

I have only Office 2010 installed, so these lines confuses me.

 

I offer to display these as "Applications - Office" or "Applications - Office - Recent files" or try determine single office version.

upgrading office usually leaves the old office's registry keys. If you run regedit, you will find the office keys in currentuser\software\Microsoft. I'd give the full keys but am away from my pc at the moment.

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

There is another issue with ccleaner and MS 2010 / Windows 7. Running ccleaner resizes all of the dialogue boxes to their defaluts. And I cannot find the hooks to keep these unchanged.

 

The diaologe box size is not in index.dat (C:\Users\USER\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Recent\index.dat). And I cannot find them in the registry. But whereever they are, ccleaner is cleaning them. And not reporting it.
