CCleaner and Excel 2007

Microsoft Excel has a feature which allows me to pin workbooks to a recent documents list used in excel. As far as I can tell these listed files are not part of the list of cleanup for Office 2007 produced by the latest version of 5.10 of the product. Once I tell CCleaner to run cleaner this recent documents list is removed from Excel. I would like it to retain just the pinned items instead of deleting them.

Unticking Office 2007 from the Applications tab should cover that.

But to be extra sure, I have the following EXCLUDE; %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent\

I don't think CC can tell the difference between the normal recent list and those special ones you pin.
