Moderators mta Posted January 12, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2015 what sort of shortcuts are now missing? can you give some names? what is you OS and CC versions? did you run the registry cleaning portion of CC? Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

sOulbAit Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 how i prevent from ccleaner to delete shortcuts from my desktop and other places? Hi amirpiriform: This may help. Make sure the cleaner tab is clicked on, then make sure you have the windows tab selected at the top. Look under the system category and see if you have selected: Start Menu Shortcuts or Desktop Shortcuts. If so uncheck them. This may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted January 13, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2015 selecting Desktop Shortcuts and Start Menu shortcuts should only clean invalid entries. http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-rules/windows-tab/system-files so if the OP had icons on the desktop starting with ~ for example, or ending with .log or .tmp, CC probably removed them. hopefully he will get back with some example filenames. also hopefully CC didn't remove and shortcut links or .exe files if they were on the desktop.

Moderators Andavari Posted November 11, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2018 If this is happening on Win10 perhaps that's the culprit after an OS update. One clue in that is the inability to save things like screenshots on the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Aindow Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 This has happened twice in the paid for version when Desktop shortcuts were unchecked. I will not be renewing my subs as this is no good to me. Windows 10 home 64 bit. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
