kmillerusaf, thanks for the link. The page had another link to download a winapp2.ini file which I opened to the ccleaner folder. Now when I go to right click ccleaner icon , open properties, click Find target, the winapp.ini and winapp2.ini files are there. I opened thw winapp2.ini file and scrolled down to bottom, pasted the above adobe code and clicked off. I tried to get rid of some recent files in the adobe reader 9 window but ccleaner just not getting it done. The above code is alittle different than the one I found in one of the reference winapp2.ini folder that contained other codes for different programs. Ifeel that I am so close to solving this issue with all of your help Thanks
