Backup REG-files placed on Desktop?!

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

Hi everyone,

I am a longtime user of CCleaner, but I am new to this forum. 

I know that CCleaner creates REG-files i.g. "<em>cc_20211009_170116.reg</em>" if the Registry cleaner has been activated.


So far so good!


But lately (I think since v5.85.9170) these REG-files are placed on the <strong>Desktop </strong>instead of <strong>C:\Users\&lt;userprofile&gt;\ </strong>!!

How is this possible and more importantly: WHY?

Does anybody have any ideas?

the default place should be documents I believe. It remembers the last location so maybe you chose desktop inadvertently?

First of all, thanks for your reply and YES you're right the default folder is indeed C:\Users\<userprofile>\Documents. ?

My question however is: HOW or WHERE does one select a different folder, inadvertently or otherwise? ?

when it goes to save you're offered an explorer window to choose.

Wow! After using CCleaner for so long, I never realized this.... I just clicked on "Yes", "Save" etcetera.

I expected a "Save to folder"-setting somewhere, but I couldn't find it....duh! ??

Thanks for bringing me back to earth: making me more aware of my movements around the app!

Cool name BTW.... Nergal. ?
