predcon1 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 It's probably something completely obvious that my sight is being selective about not noticing, but I can't find the tickbox that disables the cleaning of Windows Explorer folder options (Default views, sorting options, etc). Would someone politely point this out for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted August 25, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2014 Try WindowsSize/Location Cache under the Advanced section.

Moderators mta Posted August 25, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2014 the only one I have ticked in Windows Explorer is Thumbnail Cache and CC doesn't change my views or sorting etc. what is your OS and CC versions? can you show a screenshot of the other options you have under the Windows tab. edit: ninja'd Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

predcon1 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 "WindowsSize/Location Cache" is not one of the options I have ticked. Attached is a screencap of my currently enabled options (Win7 x64). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators mta Posted August 25, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2014 just as a test (as there should be no correlation), untick the 4 boxes you have under Windows Explorer and see if that changes the results. do you use any CC enhancer, winapp2.ini or INCLUDE's ?

Moderators hazelnut Posted August 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 26, 2014 That's odd as that's the one that usually works Window Size/Location Cache - When you open and close Windows Explorer, Windows records folder settings for window position, sort order, columns, folder type, toolbar toggles, and search result views. https://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-rules/windows-tab/advanced-windows-files I'll wait and see if Nergal or mta have any other ideas in mind while I'm thinking a bit more.

Moderators mta Posted August 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 26, 2014 sadly, I'm up to the point of suggesting unticking all options, just to prove your view, sort order etc doesn't get changed, then one by one, ticking each option in turn until it goes pear-shaped. sucks I know but within 10 or so minutes you'll know one way or the other.

predcon1 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'll do that when I have the focus and the patience for it, then let you know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predcon1 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Well, I've tried it every which way, and there are many inconsistencies. I'm led to believe that the issue may be (shock! horror!) with Windows itself, not CCleaner. Similar issues have occurred in the past, such as Windows just 'forgetting' desktop icon arrangements, the images used for said icons, and so on.
