I use the free version of CCleaner to clean the temp folder cache etc. but I'll ask why it's removing your Quick Launch bar.

Do your icons regularly suffer from corruption that you need to run that repair ?

If you decide to use CCleaner, click on Options - Monitoring and uncheck those boxes.

Click on Cleaner and under the Windows tab scroll down to System and uncheck the Memory Dumps box then under the Applications tab, scroll down to Windows and uncheck the MS Search box before clearing the cache.

Thanks for the info. I'm familiar with CCleaner, as I'm a fan and have been using it for years. I can definitely see just using it as an alternative to Windows Repair for most things, as I really only need all in one for the icon repair (which only happens every once in a while). But I did have two more quick questions.

1) In CCleaner, does the "Temporary Files" check box under the System list in the Windows tab perform the exact same function as the "Remove Temp Files" option in Windows Repair?
2) I've ran CCleaner for years with both the Memory Dump and MS Search boxes checked. What's the significance of unchecking those and will I see a benefit to that vs keeping those cleared out?

Thanks!

Hello all. I like to use Windows Repair Windows Repair (All in One) mostly for just its repair functions. I only ever use two check boxes in the program: Temp Folder Removal and Icon Repair. However, sometimes (but not always) when I run the program it deletes my Quick Launch bar at the bottom of my taskbar, which I have lots of important icons stored. I then have to re-add it. What's causing this and how do I stop it, so I can still use Windows Repair (All in One) for my purposes? Current version I have installed is 3.8.1

Hello all! When doing my regular maintenance on my system to keep things running smooth, I usual will end things with a scan using Windows Repair (All in One). Several months back, I ran a little more thoroughly scan than I normally would and it came back with some results I was unfamiliar with.

I've attached the scan log bellow, but essentially the "Reparse Points Found: 64...Scan Complete - Problems Found!" is what caught my eye. Now I would normally just allow the program to correct any errors it found, but I have absolutely no idea what the effect on my OS will be if I do this. I'm very particular on how I have things set up and don't want any of my system configuration being altered or reset in anyway (as I don't want to have to start finding out what things were possibly undone in Windows somewhere from the way I have it currently).

Can someone give me a bit more guidance on what the outcome of fixing these Reparse Points would be, positive or negative? It would be much appreciated!

Thanks
