Rob M. Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 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? Rob M.

Greenknight Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MttFrog13 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
