How to wipe the most recent executed programs list information?

Recommended Posts

I downloaded the free available utility ExecutedProgramList from

 

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/executed_programs_list.html

 

and run it on my computer.

 

Much to my surprise it reveals all programs I executed in the past ALTHOUGH I run CCleaner frequently.

 

Which options are intended in CCleaner for this information.

 

Is it possible to clean this information at all with CCleaner?

The list of previously executed programs is collected from the following data sources:

  • Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache
  • Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache
  • Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatibility Assistant\Persisted
  • Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatibility Assistant\Store
  • Windows Prefetch folder (C:\Windows\Prefetch)

 

So that list would need INCLUDE'ing in CC (if it isn't already covered)

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.

Thank you for answer.

 

Since the information is currently kept when running CCleaner it means that it has to be included.

 

How can I setup an official feature request?

Posting the request in CCleaner Suggestions is the nearest we have to an official request.

 

The list of includes in post 2 have incorrect paths, for what it's worth.
