MS Virtual Desktop Manager support

Hello,

sorry for my bad english.

I want to suggest a new feature that should be implemented in CCleaner: support for Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager (part of the PowerToys package). This program allows you to configure 4 independent dekstops with separate backgrounds. The user-configured background images are stored in "c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\" (if the user is Administrator of course). The problem is, that CCleaner is erasing all files when cleaning this directory. The following 4 files should be preserved:

MSVDM-Desktop0.bmp

MSVDM-Desktop1.bmp

MSVDM-Desktop2.bmp

MSVDM-Desktop3.bmp

That's all...

Bye

You should be able to change the directory where those files save if it is a problem. Anything in the TEMP folders is for temporary storage and usage.

Yes, it's clear to me, what is the purpose of the Temp folder, but unfortunately, changing the directory path for storing the background images is not possible with MS Virtual Desktop Manager.

WORKAROUND:

If you set these files with "read only" permission, ccleaner will leave them alone. I just tried this and it worked for me.

That said, it would be nice to see ccleaner provide the ability to specify files and/or dirs to ignore. I'm sure there are many other instances where this functionality would be useful.

Then MS Virtual Desktop Manager is broken, not CCleaner. Tell whoever make MS Virtual Desktop Manager to not store files in the temp folder.
