I've started losing file associations when I run ccleaner. Well, specifically, the association for the .txt files with editpad lite. I haven't noticed another disconnect, but I only just noticed this. It is definitely ccleaner that's doing it. I've reset the connection and run ccleaner several times. Always breaks it.
What setting resets file associations? Nothing obvious, otherwise I would have noticed when I went over the list again. There are literally hundreds so I'm asking here rather than trying each one.
Thanks!
What operating system are you using?
Are you using the registry cleaning part of ccleaner when this happens?
Does editpad lite appear in the ccleaner applications list?
XP sp2. wait. sp3.
no registry cleaning.
editpad lite does not appear.
Since you aren't cleaning the registry are you sure it isn't Windows itself, or some anti-virus/anti-malware software you're using that's not allowing those associations to remain.
Edit:
One thing to try if you haven't rebooted for awhile is make the file associations for Editpad Lite, then reboot since that will have Windows save your user settings and registry changes.
I reboot at least every day, and this has been going on for several days. There have been no recent changes to anti-virus/malware.
I'm more than reasonably sure it is ccleaner. It was working fine until I updated ccleaner with ccenhancer. Now it doesn't.
I can set the association (and always check the 'always' box) and it works fine until I run ccleaner. Then it's broken. Tested several times. No doubt what does it.
What I need is a description of _all_ that every option does. Such as, what does the option "Cached File Extensions*" do?
Where would I find such descriptions?

Third party addons to ccleaner such as ccenhancer are not supported on forum.
