How do I prevent Excel Recent Documenst from being cleaned?

When I run CCleaner the list of Recent Documents in Excel is cleared. I have tried to guess which files to exclude to save the Recent Documents but have failed.

Suggestions please.

Open your %TEMP% folder and then open an excel file. You will see a randomly generated file name with a .TMP extension get created or deleted when opening or closing excel.

Untick anything in CCleaner's "Cleaner > Applications' (tab) that you see relating to Microsoft Office.

The post by Andavan solved my problem with Recent Documents in Word being cleared.

I looked at the CCleaner option many times and just missed the Applications tab. I am very

aware of it now, so I have checked and unchecked as needed. Thanks for the help.
