afguy Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hello, I am having an issue with CCleaner where it is removing all file associations. I noticed this problem started AFTER i disabled UAC. I know that's not recommended, but I feel pretty confident having this feature disabled. Every time I run the registry cleaner, it classifies all my extensions as "unused file extensions". This gets pretty annoying because I have to re-associate my programs with there corresponding extensions, after each run of CCleaner's registry cleaner. Is this a known issue? Thanks for any help. PS: I have attached a quick screen shot of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamin4u Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hello afguy, and welcome to the forum. I can't replicate this on my Vista Home Premium 32-bit System. CCleaner has recently become fully compatible with 64-bit versions of XP and Vista. The following questions come to mind. 1) Have you run your Anti-Malware and Anti-Virus scans? 2) Did you run any bat file or script that could have corrupted the registry? I Hope this helps!

afguy Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hey Jamin4u, Thanks for the quick reply. To answer your questions: 1) I run a scan for both on a weekly basis and besides tracking cookies, have not found any problems 2) No scripts here. I try to avoid that unless I really know what it's for. When I get to that computer, I will try and enable UAC (duh) and see if I still get the same results. I just remember it happening after I disabled that featured. I will also say that I did not immediately run CCleaner after I disabled UAC, so that leaves some room for other explanations. I just remember that being one of the only settings I had recently changed. I will get back with the results once I get home. Thanks again for the help.
