Programs Compatibility Settings & File Associations

[2mg]

Hi,

 

I've two bugs to report:

 

1.) For some reason, CCleaner deletes/removes settings in Compatibility Tab for every application (it removes "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings", in picture it's how it's supposed to be):

 

 

2.) Up to this date, CCleaner can still erase used File Associations. I know that I can deselect in Registry -> Unused File Association, but that makes this option pointless, and I can't clean up unused associations ever. Most of the times, it works perfectly, but once it simply chooses to delete used associations for no reason (this is how it should be, but it removes defaults and you can see them missing in this window):

Another thing:

 

CClneaner may be responsible, but Windows 7 now stops on Welcome Screen and I have to choose my account, even though I only have one. Before, I would boot directly into Windows (Welcome Screen goes directly to Desktop, no need to choose the user).

Click the start orb and where it says search, type netplwiz.exe, press Enter, and untick the check box  "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".

 

Click OK

Thanks. Though I have no idea why'd CCleaner do this. I believe it did happen after a reg clean that also messed up associations and compatibility settings.

Glad that is sorted.

 

Best that you don't use the reg cleaner then. What file associations are broken? Read this page.

Also did you not make a backup of the entries when offered the chance to so so by ccleaner?

Nope, I got used that everything goes smooth, and than after 1 week to 1 month, blam, there go the important reg settings. Will start using backups as a routine when cleaning. I do hope Piriforma staff will take this thread into consideration, I've see other posts about associations getting wiped, so I think this is a rather important optimization.

 

Thanks for support!

Piriform staff recognize that registry cleaning is more hazardous than file cleaning,

hence the offer of making a backup.

This sounds more like you're wholesale cleaning the registry. Please read and follow the "sage" advice in my signature (the words below my post)
