Up front: I am a newbie and am using CCleaner (portable) just once in a while only.
Now, if my memory serves me well, I made the below mistake in the past as well.
I know, this is quite stupid, but I guess I donot use CCleaner regularly enough to remember it, or, whilst busy going thru all the different components of CCleaner, it simply happened.
I donot CCleaner, I am the only one to blame. Period.
That said,it is nonetheless pretty frustating... :
in the de-selecting process I -regretfully- overlooked the 2nd tab [Applications]
Therefore I lost quite a lot of settings (such as MRU's) and have to set them them back, one by one.
Again, it is my mistake, I only paid attention to the first tab.
Q: I wonder whether it would be possible to include some kind of 'protection' or 'backup' (or whatever), default enabled, so users may be able to re-instate all, or selected items?
Or (but that would be a total overhaul) have all items deselected by default and users have to select what they want, i.e. it is then by default a user's decision what to clean instead of CCleaner's decision.
Thanks,
