Welcome :)

You need a program to clear MRU lists.

Most System Cleaning or Registry cleaning software will do this.

well i downloaded and ran CCleaner it got rid of those list but it also got rid of my media files :( all the music i collected for years all gone......... any way of getting them back?????

Are you sure?

Can you expand on what you ran?
It should not remove any .mp3, .wav ec files.
Never did when I ran it.

when i ran it i press scan now then alist of stuff the software deleted came up" note i didnt press delete" and in that list had my theme music and wavs. vids. i tried systems restore but that didnt help at all

Are your files in the Recycle Bin?

Where were your files located and what were the file extensions?

[jane454]

no they are not in the recycling bin some of the music was stored in my doc folder and some in the temp folder and it was wav, mpeg,mp3, mov,

Not sure what has happened to your files but one of these programs may be able to recover them

ok i did the recovery thing and about 30% of my media has been recovered the rest just say errors looks like i got some work trying to find them again 1 by one on the net but 30% is better then nothing. i would like to thank everyone who helped, you all was very helpful :blush:

Glad you got your initial problem sorted.
Sorry about CCleaner messing some other things up.

Personally I use Ace Utilities.

Ad-Aware SE Personal also deletes MRU lists safely and you get to delete any adware you find at the same time. It's a win-win situation for you.
