Maybe check the browser.startup.homepage value in about:config ? You can try using FEBE to backup your addons and then reinstall them, it takes only 2-3 minutes papayes, you didn't understand what he said, did you ?

Download CCleaner if you haven't got it already, then make sure the "Window Size/Location Cache" thing is enabled under Windows >> Advanced and click "Run Cleaner"

What are the fragmented files ? pagefile.sys ? hiberfile.sys ? C:\System Volume Information\ files, a.k.a. System Restore points ? Files from your antivirus ? (Maybe it has a self-protection)

Try disabling System Restore and then enable it. This will clear all your System Restore points and then create a new, theoretically non-fragmented one.

Using V8 Benchmark suite to compare Chrome, Safari and others browsers is really stupid. It is made by Google and Apple (and other companies) And it only tests JavaScript...

Do you mean the Recent Documents appearing in Wordpad ? If so, your files are still there, but they aren't in WordPad's Recent Documents because you ticked the "MS WordPad" checkbox

With it you can upload directly any image to ImageShack, Photobucket, Tinypic, or any FTP without having to save it first.

Registry cleaning does not help in keeping your computer fast. Or maybe some nanoseconds.

What is uTorrent's update system ?

...Bump. There are lots of threads about problems with the Reg Cleaner lately

If you made a backup, it should be in your Documents folder. Double-click on it and choose Yes when asked if you want to merge.

I'm already on the Win7 RC

Did you use the Registry Cleaner ?

Wrong. A 64-bit system has a theoretical limit of 16 EB (exabytes) of RAM.

Try using your backup (double-click on the .REG file). Did you install IE 8 recently ? PS : Latest CCleaner is 2.21

When you delete things in the recycle bin, they are renamed with weird names. Try searching with Recuva for pictures in the Recycle Bin..

Right-click on CCleaner >> Properties >> Compatibility tab. Is there any checked boxes ?

Small problem : I've got lots of programs, but the size is only displayed for Silverlight, the Microsoft C++ Redistribuable , OOo 3.1 and the Windows Media Player plugin for FF
