Thank you so much for fixing the Windows 7 Task Scheduler issue. It works for me.

Winzip needs a little look too; if Winzip is included in the list of Applications to clean, then some user settings are removed. For example, in Winzip under Options, Configuration, Folders, I set the Extract folder to "Open archive folder", but CCleaner changes this. The registry key concerned is:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories]

and the entry affected is:
"gzExtractTo"="2"

"2" means "Open archive folder". CCleaner deletes this along with a couple of other personalised entries.

When all is set as I want it, my registry entries are:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories]
"ZipTempRemovableOnly"="1"
"ZipTemp"="C:\\Users\\John\\AppData\\Local\\Temp"
"CheckOutBase"=""
"zDefDir"="0"
"DefDir"="D:\\11D"
"gzExtractTo"="2"
"gzAddDir"="0"
"AddDir"="C:\\Users\\John\\Documents"

but after including Winzip in CCleaner Applications, the entry is only:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\directories]
"CheckOutBase"=""
"ZipTemp"="C:\\Users\\John\\AppData\\Local\\Temp"
"ZipTempRemovableOnly"="1"

If this gets fixed as fast as the Task Scheduler issue, I shall be mightily impressed. Please let me know If I can provide any more information. Thanks.
