I use both MS Outlook and Teams. Outlook has a "Teams Meeting" icon that allows me to create a meeting in Teams, from within Outlook. HOWEVER...after I run CCleaner on my Win 10 laptop, that icon disappears. What file could CC be removing that would kill this icon / function? Below is a screen-shot of an Outlook meeting scheduling screen. There SHOULD be an icon just to the left of the "Meeting Notes" that says "Schedule a Teams Mtg".
- if there is not a "Microsoft Teams" box then we can rule out that the icon is deleted by cleaning the "Teams" user data. It seems that "Teams" places that icon in a MS Office related folder. But which folder ?
- It seems that CC is not able to find the folder where data of "Microsoft Teams" is located. User data for "Microsoft Teams" is supposed to be located (according to winapp2.ini) in the folders "c:\users\ ............. \Microsoft\Teams\". Can you find that combination of those 2 subfolders on your system ? Or something that's only slightly different ? It should be in "c:\users\...... ". If so, what is the full path ?
- Post a screenshot of all the MS Office boxes that show up in your copy of CC. The box for "Teams" should be a box called "Microsoft Teams" and not "MS Teams".
- Untick all boxes and only run the registry cleaner. Does that icon disappear (again) ?
- Unselect the registry cleaner. Now tick only one "MS Office" box and run CC again. And do this for each "MS Office" box. Which "MS office" box makes the icon disappear ? If that doesn't give a clue the perhaps you must do the same procedure for the "Microsoft ..... "boxes ?

JFYI: CCleaner has not yet built in its own cleaning rule for "Microsoft Teams", therefore CCleaner does not recognize it and no box for it appears.
@Willy2 THANK YOU. Here are screenshots of my CC settings. As you will see, there are no "Teams" box options. As you mentioned, I'll have to do a 1-by-1 test and see what triggers the issue.
- CC also installs a file called "winapp2.ini". Based on the info in that file CC will show the user a number of boxes for program A, B, C etc. If that file doesn't contain info about program D then CC won't show a box for program D. In your case, the standard "Winapp2.ini" file doesn't contain info for "Teams" and then CC doesn't show a box called "Microsoft Teams".
- On my system I have used the program "voldemort" (not supported by the good folks of CC, use it at your own risk. although I have experieneced no adverse effects) and that program gives the user of CC a lot of info for more programs (e.g. Teams) and - depending on what you have installed on your system - more boxes in CC.

Ccleaner does not natively install any extra ini files. The winapp2 that he refers to is a file that allows you to add your own rules (see the link in my signature below this post)
There is a community file that you can take your rules from into your own winapp2 file but all discussion of that is regulated to a specific thread.

I just did a "clean" re-install of CC again and noticed that there is no "Winapp2.ini" anymore in the CC folder.

Correct, if you deleted your ccleaner program folder after uninstall there will not be the user file winapp2.ini
