Hi Paul,

Thanks again for being one of the handful of people on this newsgroup who 
are purposefully helpful, where these are important tools to have on hand
in our archives, and yet they all have innocuous names; hence it behooves
us all to archive the canonical files for emergency use on our flash drive.

By way of confirmation, and resolve to try to add value in every post, 
I agree with you those are the most likely canonical links.

My observations are, mostly unintuitively so:
1. It seems "TestDisk" & "PhotoRec" are in the same "TestDisk" download.
2. There are many undeletes, Recuva seems best (but damn Piriform).

Side note: I used to diligently use CCleaner but, like Chrome, it's no
longer allowed on any system that I have anything to say about the matter.

With respect to %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe here is my quick survey:
