Colin,



I don't see the Recent Documents folder just Places. Wonder if it has to do with the version of Office or the OS?



What do you think?

I'm gonna keep my eye on CCleaner when I use it.

Thanks.

Yeah, the filepath I gave earlier is for Win XP. I don't know where it is in Vista.

However, I just tested on my other PC (using XL 2010 on Windows 7) and CCleaner did wipe the recent workbooks section. Here are the screenshots to prove it...

So, after a bit of playing around I think I've found the setting to prevent CCleaner from cleaning out your recent workbooks. Open up CCleaner, go to the Application tab and then untick the Office 2003-10 checkboxes. Note that unticking the Recent Documents checkbox on the Windows tab will not stop CCleaner from cleaning out the recent workbooks.

I have removed this 'hidden' setting.

Appreciate your finding it.

I hope I can return the favor or at least pay it forward.

As an aside ...
