CCleaner v3.00.1303 deleting icons

Hi,

I ran CCleaner and afterwards some of my icons were missing. They were all adobe icons, most of them were shortcuts in the start menu which were easily fixed by renewing the shortcut. One program however (adobe help.exe) had lost it's icon altogether (fixed by program update).

I read that some programs (inc adobe) store there icon associations in the C:\Windows\Installer folder. Does CCleaner clean out this folder with the default settings? If so, how can I stop it?

thanks.

You can select files or folders to exclude with Options>Exclude. You could try that and see if it fixes it. You can also run Analyze first to see it any of the start menu shortcuts are slated for deletion. If so, you can right-click them and select "View detailed results." It'll show you where they're located.

There are two setting in CCleaner that clean start menu icons. One is "Start Menu Shortcuts" under System and the other is "User Assist History" under Advanced. The User Assist History deletes the list of recently opened files and programs. If exclude doesn't work, you could disable whichever one might be deleting the shortcuts. :)

Also try the new CCleaner build 3.00.1310.
