Since I installed CCCleaner my desktop icons have started to disappear. First I lost the icon for AuctionTamer, an auction handling program. Reinstalling the program did not help, the icon is gone. Then I lost several icons from a group of programs supplied by my textbook publisher, 3 icons gone...reinstalling does not help. Now I lost the icon for my CitiBank virtual credit card number generating program. Reinstalling does not help! any solutions you can think of short of dumping the CCcleaner software?
What operating system and what version of CCleaner are you using?
Do you mean that you've lost the entire shortcut or the icon image? If the latter, does it show the unknown file type deafult icon?
