sussertown Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It appears that the program cleans out my recent docs list from MSoffice. I don't see anywhere to avoid this in the program. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Under the 'Applications' tab you should see any entries for MS Office - uncheck the appropriate ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussertown Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Under the 'Applications' tab you should see any entries for MS Office - uncheck the appropriate ones. I can do that, but I hate to. Then it won't clean out what it needs to from this area I presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your choice - there isn't a half-way house! You use the word 'need' - there's nothing that needs to be cleaned ... i.e. nothing that will hurt your computer if you leave it there. Unfortunately I can't tell you explicitly what other items are not cleared when you uncheck this, in order to assist your choice; maybe another forum member can. Although to be honest I can't for the life of me think what other junk Excel could leave behind to clear up ... recent docs might be the only thing!

Disk4mat Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Which version of Excel are you using? It is possible to preserve the Office recent docs while cleaning the remaining junk. Although it isnt much. Mostly registry items and a couple small files. See posts 8 and 9 here http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=21827 The file paths in post #9 are the same for Office 2003 & 2007. For reference here are the Excel registry keys you can add to the exclude list in CC. Choose your version below. Excel 2003 registry exclude key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel Excel 2007 registry exclude key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
