Hi hazelnut, I have seen this on four systems, XP and Vista.
Try This: In the settings tab- line your cursor up to the right of the word starts in the first option, and you should see that it is highlighted and you can left click to select it.
Yes it does Highlight the box but not the whole line.
Don't misunderstand my intention.When I first saw your post I wanted to thank you for bringing up an important item.Many people do click their mouse and this can result in them turning on or off a feature.I will bet this has happened to others.
The feature does make it quicker for those who just move the highlight up and down then click on the line.
This also does the same for the normal delete versus secure delete option.
Thanks Jamin4u for reporting this important item.Yes,CCleaner Rocks.

Hi davey, I didn't misunderstand you, nor was I offended. I realize that clicking like that can get you into trouble. That is how I stumbled onto this, by not being prompted to backup registry issues. If you are saying that this is a feature of CCleaner, then my reply would be that it is unnecessary and possibly risky for a dozen or so selections. I apologize for not being clear enough about it highlighting the box only, and not the whole line.
No,I think it is best made that you "must" put your cursor on the box to be changed.
I have seen this feature in other programs also and did not like the fact the you could accidentally change something.Thanks again for reporting it.

Hi davey, thank you for clarifying your opinion on this topic. I have used CCleaner since the beginning. CCleaner is one of a handful of tools that have kept my computers running like new.
