Hi Alan Thanks for the reply, I have to bow to your superior knowledge and technical prowess, and have to say, that the dear old days of DOS, are just a history lesson to me every time I'm informed of such matters, it's not that I'm to young to remember (mores the pity), it's just that I really didn't wake up to Windows until Windows 95, so I'm one of the point and click brigade, and for the most part DOS leaves me very confused.. Anyway it boils down to Epson changing their approach, and putting such files in their main program folder, perhaps? Again thanks for the help. Adrian

Hi Problem solved, it was in fact a tmp file in my ?local settings folder?, so I've put it in CCs exclusions list, tested it and it's still there after a reboot. So although CC was removing the file, it's due to bad file naming on the part of Epson, that's I see it anyway, surely they must realise that users clean their systems, so to put a facility into their software, that enables users to monitor their printers from the system tray, but have it as temporary file, seems a complete contradiction. Anyway thanks for all the help everyone most appreciated. Thanks

Hi Thanks for replies, Will checkout the last 2 suggestions and get back later, but they do sound strong possibilities. Thanks

Hi Thanks for the replies, I've tried the suggestion and unchecked the Tray Notifications Cache, but no joy. If it might help, my system is XP with SP3 I have one printer an Epson R285 and CC is Version 222 the latest I believe. Thanks

Hi to All For some time now, one of the icons in my system tray disappears after every clean, namely my printer icon, the strange thing is it's the only one that does, anyway I've now managed to narrow the culprit down to CC, however it seems the cleaner is removing it, as on one clean I had no registry issues, but it still disappeared on reboot. Most of the time I appreciate what CC does, as I've been using it since almost day one, but on this occasion it's gone a bit OTT. All help appreciated. Thanks
