[Bug: CCleaner Registry Cleaner removes MSC extension]

Running CCleaner's Registry "Scan for Issues" identifies the .MSC extension as unused and marks it for removal. This is incorrect - removing the .MSC extension prevents the user from running things like services.msc or the Manage function from My Computer.

 

Bingo! Thought it was this causing me no end of problems...

 

If anyone else needs the fix to re-associate msc's then here's a link:-

 

MSC association Fix

["Office" Deletion/Reinstall]

Hello,

 

I agree that it is a great product and I too am encountering the same problem.

 

Always happens after using "Registry, Scan for Issues" - which nearly always brings up 107 problems to fix.

 

 

Any ideas how this can be resolved cos it's a right pain in the butt waiting for Office to reinstall?

 

 

Thanks.

 

P.S. Obviously un-ticking the Unused File Extensions is a workaround, but not ideal. (this also resolves my issue of deleting the MSC association).
