Unused File Extensions

CCleaner for Windows
1

I'm also perplexed by the listing of "unused file extensions" that CCleaner came up with. Most of them are thoroughly strange, but there are some extensions that I know are in use. For instance, ".bat", ".exe", and ".zip" appear on that list. I know those extensions are in use.

What are these so-called "unused file extensions" really doing there? Might I want to use some of them some day? If I've let CCleaner fix them, am I going to have to re-create an association for them if I happen to need them?

And how does CCleaner resolve that issue anyway?

When you delete a file, the unused reference to that file extension is removed by CCleaner. It has no effect on other files with that extension.

When a file with a given extension is installed, a file association will be created.

I dont understand how CCleaner deals with any issues, it doesnt fix them, it just deletes them to make sure next time u need them they wont be there.
