1-click optimization erases shortcuts

i put shortcuts to frequently accessed files on my taskbar. For instance, if I right click on the Word Perfect icon, I can quickly accessed shortcuts I have put there. Every Monday, after 1-click optimization has run, all my shortcuts disappear. I don't want to clutter my desktop with these shortcuts, everything has been working just fine until utilities upgraded to 16. Previous versions didn't mess about with my taskbar.  I am using Utilities 16 with Windows 7.
