CCleaner and Microsoft WORD

[seeker1]

 I have a question regarding using CCleaner to remove usage tracts in Microsoft WORD.

 

I just installed CCleaner in a new computer running Windows 7.  The computer contains a free trial of Microsoft OFFICE 2013 that I have not activated.  I then downloaded and installed a paid, standalone Microsoft WORD 2016. 

 

In the Applications drop-down CCleaner sees OFFICE 2013 but does not see WORD 2016.

 

I want to clean WORD 2016.  Specifically, I want to clean the section where when you click "OPEN", it lists all the files you have recently opened.  I don't want a list of the files I have recently opened present on my computer.

 

Questions: 

 

(1) Can CCleaner clean this list in WORD 2016? 

 

(2) Why does CCleaner not detect WORD 2016?  Do you think if I delected the free trial of OFFICE 2013 it would help CCleaner recognize WORD 2016?

Word 2016 (if out of beta) will likely (no inside information, just educated guess based on past releases) be cleaned by the ccleaner version coming in the next few weeks.

Thanks, Nergal !  I hope you are corrrect.  I would imagine WORD 2016 is out of beta as I paid for it.  I would have hoped that a program that saved a record of what documents one opened would have an option to shut down that feature, but if WORD 2016 has such an option, I haven't found it yet.  I guess then it isn't the presence of the Office 2013 trial although I may just delete the 2013 trial anyway.

 

So I will await the next version of CCleaner.

 

And let me thank everyone at CCleaner for providing this product for our use.

We also have a 2016 entry in the community driven winapp2 template that you can use (though without warranty mind you)

Is the above something that one would copy & paste into the "Include" section of CCleaner?

Huh?

If you mean the winapp2 entry, please see the link in my signature for the winapp2 explanation.

Isee - thank you.  That looks like something I will have to read.

I did see something interesting in the beginning of the article, something about cleaning Adobe Image Ready.  I remember back when I first bought Adobe Photoshop I realized that it kept records of everything it viewed.  Again, not a great idea for confidential files.  I did go on the Adobe forums for a while but no one seemed to be able to say how to erase tracks of images Photoshop had opened.

In any case reading and using the article you referenced looks like a whole day affair for someone with my limited experience.  I will have to find a day!
