In the latest release of Piriform CCleaner (3.15.1643) our HTML Editor is listed under their Applications tab as a Utility. This means that when you run the cleaner and tell it to clear out all recommend settings, it will delete your mru.ini, projects.ini, links.ini and lastopen.dat files. Yes, these are important files, because without them, you can no longer use your website projects!

This Fix:

To correct this, open CCleaner, go to the Applications tab, and uncheck the box to the left of CoffeeCup HTML Editor under the Utilities heading.

Help us convince Piriform they are wrong!

We have been trying to work with this company to get our software reclassified as a different type of application, but so far they have not been very cooperative. 

We need your help! Please write to Piriform support and voice your concern that their product is destructive to your website projects. By removing these files, they are deleting some of the most integral components of HTML Editor website projects. You can reach their support department at customer_support@piriform.com to express your opinion as a user of both products.
