I just installed CCleaner. First thing I've done is select the Analyze key and it's selected a total of 3,915 MB of files to be cleaned/deleted. Obviously that's a huge amount of files to be deleted so i looked through some of those selected and am concerned. Many of them are recognized file names (not concerned with browser history, etc) and I'm not sure what to do. For example, many look like this: f C\Documents and Settings\Tom\Recent\filename.lnk
I have not seen the extension .lnk before and it doesn't replicate in a Windows Explorer search.
Many of these are important files and are NOT listed in the Recycle Bin.
So, since this is a new program, before I go further I'm hoping to get a good explanation for why it's selected so many good working file names (documents, etc) and will, I assume, delete them if I select Run Cleaner.
What is the .lnk extension? Please help...thanks.
