@trium No, actually it was the "Compatibility Assistant" under the "Windows" section (in winapp2.ini)

I finally solved it. It was the "Compatibility Assistant" under the "Windows" section (in winapp2.ini)

Hi Guys, I'd like to get some help from a winapp2.ini file expert. I'm having sort of a weird problem on my Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit) PC. It all started after I upgraded my winapp2.ini file to the latest version with [Voldemort], an extremely annoying bug started to happen every time I run CCleaner: I have several icons (shortcuts) pinned to my Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar ( full path to these shortcuts is %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar ) and one of my shortcuts there have a property set under its Compatibility tab: Privilege Level: "Run this program as an administrator" is checked, simply because I always want to run that particular program as Administrator. Since I upgraded CCleaner and winapp2.ini to the latest version about a week ago, I started noticing that every time I run CCleaner, the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox gets unchecked in this shortcut!! This is totally unacceptable, because if I run this program as non-administrator then it has limited capability, basically the program becomes completely useless. I use this pinned shortcut every day and I also use CCleaner every day, but this bug makes my life miserable... I narrowed the problem down to the winapp2.ini file, because if I do not use it then the problem does not happen when I run CCleaner. However, I would prefer to continue using the winapp2.ini rules in general. Trying to solve this, so far I unchecked the following items under CCleaner / Applications: QuickLaunch DiagnosedApplications, QuickLaunch ImplicitAppShortcuts, QuickLaunch and Recent Items More but disabling these options did not help. Can someone please tell me which winapp2.ini rule do I need to disable in order to prevent this problem from happening? Also, I do not understand why CCleaner with winapp2.ini is changing a property of one of my shortcuts which is a pinned shortcut. CCleaner should leave these pinned shortcuts alone, IMO. Again, CCleaner is not removing that shortcut, it is just changing an important property of it. Can anyone please help? Thanks, Zoltan P.S.: I use the latest CCleaner and [voldemort] ( latest winapp2.ini file ) as of today ( 11/25/2015 )

Thanks for all your comments! @trium , @hazelnut : You guys are right, the problem only happens with winapp2.ini so it must be caused by a rule inside the latest winapp2.ini file. @mta : When I use winapp2.ini the problem persists with CCleaner v5.12 and unticked Taskbar Jump Lists and unticked Other Explorer MRUs, too. Apparently the problem is not caused by Taskbar Jump Lists nor Other Explorer MRUs, the problem must be caused by a rule somewhere inside the winapp2.ini file. The odd thing is this: If I open up the winapp2.ini file with a text editor and search in it for the word "pinned", that word only present in these two rules: QuickLaunch ImplicitAppShortcuts and Recent Items More ; and when I search for the word "quicklaunch" that word only present in these rules: QuickLaunch DiagnosedApplications, QuickLaunch ImplicitAppShortcuts and QuickLaunch. Even with all four of these rules unticked the problem occurs when I use winapp2.ini I don't fully understand how these rules inside winapp2.ini file work. It is especially interesting that the given pinned shortcut is not getting completely removed, instead only one property of it somehow gets unticked when I run CCleaner with winapp2.ini ... How can I find out which winapp2.ini rule should I disable to prevent this problem from happening? Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Zoltan

Hello, I run Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit). Since I upgraded to CCleaner v5.11.5408 (and also upgraded the winapp2.ini file to the latest version), an extremely annoying bug started to happen: I have several icons (shortcuts) pinned to my Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar ( full path to these shortcuts is %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar ) and one of my shortcuts there have a property set under the Compatibility tab: Privilege Level: "Run this program as an administrator" is checked, simply because I always want to run that particular program as Administrator. Since I upgraded CCleaner ( and winapp2.ini ) a week ago, I started to notice that every time I run CCleaner this "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox gets unchecked in this shortcut!! This is totally unacceptable, because if I run this program as non-administrator then it has limited capability, basically the program becomes completely useless. I use this pinned shortcut every day and I also use CCleaner every day, but this bug makes my life miserable... Trying to solve this, I unchecked the following items under CCleaner / Applications: QuickLaunch DiagnosedApplications, QuickLaunch ImplicitAppShortcuts and QuickLaunch, but disabling these options did not help at all. Can someone please suggest what to disable to prevent this problem from happening? I do not understand why CCleaner is changing a property of one of my shortcuts which is a pinned shortcut. CCleaner should leave these pinned shortcuts alone, IMO. Thanks, Zoltan
