In the cleaning of Windows Explorer under XP SP3, I wonder if something could not be cleaned by CCleaner : the Favorites

These are bookmarks whose existence can be easily forgotten because Windows Explorer is not an internet navigator then I had a collection of very old bookmarks ther, I deleted them one by one doing a registry and file log and I discovered two things :

1st : these were files in this location C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Favorites\ whiche were deleted

2nd : BUT it seems that windows at that moment found necessary to write all this names as data in the registry key HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-

xxx-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\{5E6AB780-7743-11CF-A12B-00AA004AE837}\Count

 

I will see what to do with that

 

Could you confirm that this kind of personal data were not taken in CCleaner for the moment ?

CCleaner already cleans those, however you must enable it under Advanced:

Cleaner -> Windows -> Advanced: User Assist History

 

This is what it cleans:
