Hi!
I'm new with CCleaner. I found it very nice, but something strange happened on my system.
I got XP Home. I used CCleaner the first time and i removed all the files listed.
Then i played with some options. I executed the cleaning again and... some shortcuts disappeared from my start menu... I mean, CCleaner deleted a shortcut to an help file of one of my installed programs... I noticed that, but i cannot say if it deleted other things...
Is it okay or is it a bug?
Thanks!!

Marco

It may be an idea for you to read the guide here

also do not tick anything in the advanced section until you are more used to the program.

If you have lost something important due to trying out different options, try system restore to get them back.
