Excluding
C:\Users\YOURACCOUNT\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent\*.*
only works in some language (dutch, english, ...........) versions of MS Office. If the user has e.g. a spanish or a german version of MS Word\MS Office then this doesn't work because then this folder has a different name. E.g. in the spanish version this folder is called "....\Office\Reciente\.......".
I am using Windows 7 with the Chrome browser, CCleaner 5.10.5373 64 bit.. How do I keep recent file list in MS Office from being cleaned. Forum post addressed only Internet Explorer.

Internet explorer and chrome have nothing to do with the issue, @Willy2's advice still holds for you
in german there is the same folder
C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent
:-) thanks willy2
hello pieron,
either you are doing it as Willy2 has described it
or
you uncheck the box in ccleaner --> cleaner --> applications --> applications --> office xy
I don't understand what willy2 is suggesting. The file location is where the office recents are located. What do I do with this info?
In ccleaner/windows/windows explorer there is a box for recent documents but there is no corresponding box in applications/chrome.
Must the box "Office" be unchecked in applications/applications/Office 2013? If I understand it correctly if unchecked nothing will be scanned including office recents..
Thank you
dank
C:\Users\PIERON\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent\*.*
take this path with your user-account (i have it called PIERON) in your EXCLUDE-List in Ccleaner...
ccleaner-->options-->exclude-->add
a window opens
in first area "Drive or Folder" take the path into this or browse it manually
confirm with ok
In ccleaner/windows/windows explorer there is a box for recent documents but there is no corresponding box in applications/chrome.
as nergal says, it have nothing to do with chrome
it must be in ccleaner->applications->applications...
I don't understand what willy2 is suggesting. The file location is where the office recents are located. What do I do with this info?
you have 2 ways
1.) uncheck box "office 2013" or what you have in ccleaner->applications->applications->office 2013
or if you have this box checked for cleaning
2.) use the path from willy2 in your exlude-list
my opinion? take 1.) its easyer
Thanks for all your help. Including recents in exclude file list only works when office 2013 unchecked.
Unchecking office 2013 and having no files excluded seems to work. Recent files are still available in Excell.
Is this the way exclude files should work. Doesn't seem logical to me.
Many thanks again.
Pieron
