Hi,
If I hide an update in Windows Update on Vista SP1 (see the screenshot)

Posted Image

and then clean with CCleaner 2.09,

and if I want to restore my hiden updates, there is nothing anymore.

Posted Image (on the screenshot, it is before executing CCleaner)

Which options do I have to uncheck ?

I can't see them because I don't have Vista.

All I get is this if I copy the image address from where it says image (if you get what I mean)

Thanks CeeCee for the screenshots.

Johnyjohn I find it difficult to see how CCleaner can clean something which isn't on your computer yet. I don't think it has that sort of power :)

Perhaps this may be a vista quirk, any other vista users seen this, with or without using CCleaner?

Hi hazelnut, I've had this one hidden since April. I run CCleaner all the time.

Could this be the answer?

One other thought: did someone add a Custom File or Folder?

Good find Jamin, looks like that may be the answer.
