Hello,
Got an issue with the Start Menu MRU list for Office 2010/2013 applications (Word/Excel).
OS: Windows 7 x 64
CCleaner: Portable, version 4 (but also with version 3.xx as well)
CCleaner: "C:\Program Files\CCleaner"
ini files: "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\......"
Been using CCleaner for some time, and have gotten somewhat familiar with it's operation. However, I've for some time that my Recently Used files keep getting wiped after CCleaner runs. So I checked to make sure I had the told Cleaner to ignore Office 2010 (under Applications->Office 2010 (no checkmark)). Ran CCleaner64, and the MRU list of Explorer and Word was wiped.
Next I tried adding an exemption to the 'ccleaner.ini' file as suggested here on the forums.
Exclude1=REG|HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\File MRU
Exclude2=REG|HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\File MRU
Ran CCleaner64, and the Start Menu MRU list of Explorer and Word was wiped.
Next, I exported CCleaners ini files (CCleaner64.exe /EXPORT) and commented out the registry entries under Office 2010 entry in 'winapp.ini'. I.e.
;RegKey16=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\File MRU
;RegKey17=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Place MRU
.....
;RegKey28=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\File MRU
;RegKey29=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Place MRU
Ran CCleaner64, and the MRU list of Explorer and Word was still wiped.
Finally, I changed the default "[Office 2010]" entry to False in 'winapp.ini'. Ran CCleaner64, and the MRU list of Explorer and Word was STILL wiped. Additionally, I noticed that in my 'ccleaner.ini' file had a new entry "(App)Office 2010=False", which tells me CCleaner is seeing that I disabled the whole feature in 'winapp.ini'.
At this point I figured I better ask for some additional eyes on the problem before I got too frustrated and grumpy!
I fear I'm missing something incredibly easy to spot, but can't figure out what that might be. Appreciate any suggestions you might have.
