When I open Ccleaner and look at the Applications to be cleaned list, a program called MS Office Picture Manager is always listed. As I do not have this program installed on my PC I would like to delete this from the Ccleaner list. (Have checked through Registry and cannot find a key for this Program). Any ideas please?

I believe it comes with Microsoft office.

Yes - that's why I'm puzzled as I don't have Office installed. I was wondering if all users of Ccleaner had this program on their list of applications by default and regardless of whether it is actually installed?

The Detect key is HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office.
Does it exist on your system ?

Possibly something like some viewer, etc., from Microsoft. I don't know really but CCleaner lists Office 2003 on my mothers laptop which she doesn't have installed - I just ignore it and never tick the box because it doesn't exist on her system since she uses OpenOffice.

Thanks - this and the previous post solve the mystery. I do have the key referred to in the penultimate post - it came with the free standalone MS Excel Viewer. It looks to me as though the Ccleaner programmer has assumed that Picture Manager will always co-exist with Office which is not the case with the various Viewer programs. Ideally Ccleaner need to give Picture Manager a more specific detect key so that it will be detected only when Picture Manager is actually installed.

Thanks again for the info - hopefully this issue might get corrected at some point.

I installed that quite some time ago just to read attachments in my sons emails, and I got the same thing exactly in CCleaner.
