Last evening, I used CCleaner 1.25.201 on a Win98se HD. I set it to clean misc crap and also for the first time used the Option/Custom/Custom Files and Folders to Clean feature to delete a particular folder, C:\program files\foldername\*.*. The first time it ran fine, at a later time I ran CCleaner again, and the "foldername" was not there because I had removed it. CCleaner was taking a
long while deleting Temp Internet Files and other crap, I thought CCleaner was hanging, cause other versions I've used in the past have, so I canceled the clean. It was then I noticed many files where gone. Trying to figure out wtf happened, I checked Option/Custom/Custom Files / Folders to Clean feature and now see it reads C:\program files\*.*. This was not user error, I didnt enter that. It changed to that by some default bug and now I've lost many programs.
I cant get Undelete.exe to work with it. From what I understand I just need to alter the first character of the folders/filenames in the C:\Program Files directory?
What apps can do this? So far I'm only seeing apps that find the folders and copy the data in them onto another drive. I just want to view the folders/files that were deleted from C:\program files\ and manually select which ones I want recovered.
Thanks for help...

Thanks Glenn, I've tried Restoration 2.5.14, nice free app. But where is the option to restore files to their same location? I only see Restore by Copying.
I have not written to HD in question. I closed all windows as soon as I realized what happened, which was immediately. Since then I've only tested undelete apps via floppy and over the network.
