Ccleaner removed three shortcuts to network folders

[fun5iz3]

Hello-

 

I ran ccleaner on a users desktop and it appears to have removed three shortcut links to the server. I reviewed the settings under cleaner and desktop shortcuts were unchecked.

 

I also ran the registry cleaner and made a backup before preforming the action. I reviewed the .reg file and none of these links were listed.

 

Is this a bug in the latest version?

 

Thanks,

 

John

I have a similar problem with CCleaner deleting shortcuts from the desktop.  I am going to establish a copy of my desktop shortcuts so that I can restore as necessary after CCleaner completes.  Though this is extraneous effort, it is still better than not running CCleaner.

 

Of course, I have no idea if other items are also being deleted.  I cannot find a clue among the options.

 

Thanks,

 

Barry

1. Open CCleaner.

2. In 'Cleaner > Windows' look under the 'System' area and untick/disable Start Menu Shortcuts and Desktop Shortcuts

 

I personally only enable those two when I need them, but even then I always click Analyze first just to be safe.
