Brunoman Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I downloaded and ran the free version of CCleaner and have a question on cleanupoptions. In most programs, when you click to open them, they will display alist of "Recent" files opened in it. I use this feature to get back to recentfiles that I have worked on. When I ran CCleaner, it removed all the recentfiles name from all programs. I would like to keep CCleaner, but reset theoption to delete the recently used files in a program. What option do I changein CCleaner to disable this one feature it has? Thanks for any insights! brunoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted September 20, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 20, 2014 In CC, in the Windows tab, under Windows Explorer untick Recent Documents, Other Explorer MRU's. (MRU = Most Recently Used) In the Applications tab, under Applications untick Office for example if you want your recent Word docs to be remembered.

Moderators Andavari Posted September 21, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 21, 2014 You'd need to do what mta stated for every program you have installed that CCleaner can clean which you want to keep the MRU ("Recent Files List") intact, for example; WordPad, your installed PDF viewer, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckhole Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I have Office 2013 unchecked in the Applications tab. The recent list is retained in the Office apps. The recents are still removed from the POPUP on the taskbar Icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted September 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 24, 2014 also untick Taskbar Jump Lists.
