The same thing happens whenever I run CCleaner. In Start-Programs menu, I usually have the programs that I most frequently use. Word, Games, etc... Whenever I do a cleaning with CCleaner, the order is lost and when I click on Start-Programs all programs listed alphabetically.

What box should I untick to prevent this?

thanks

If you have anything enabled under Advanced, try disabling it. I'm thinking it could be Menu Order Cache, albeit I could be wrong.

Strangely I've had a similar issue for the past month, but it only puts one group out of order in 'Accessories->System Tools', and I don't know if it's related to CCleaner or not.

I'd thought just like you and I unticked all the boxes under Advanced options.... But still my order of recently used programs gets lost... And one other thing: my MS Word customization also gets lost.

For example, I set document saving intervals as "2 minutes" (tools-options-save). After CCleaner finished its job, every setting I made returned to default setting!

For that you have to untick Microsoft Office for whatever version you have installed. To disable it go into the large Cleaner button, then click the Applications tab, then look under Applications for Office.

Yes, that worked... Thanks!

Any idea for Frequently Used Programs Order?

Still no answer?

I don't know what exactly is causing your program order to get shuffled about.

Like you I still have that one folder of shortcuts that gets moved around, so I can't say for sure if it has anything to do with CCleaner or not.

I just found out today what is causing a couple of things in my Start Menu to get moved around. It's because of using a registry optimizer/defragger called Free Registry Defrag. I suppose similar programs may also cause that problem.
