OK, got it. I will magically send the OS back in time using my previously cloned backup then perform some baseline tests, as well as the after CCleaner tests, along all pertinent "save as text" information. Yes I do clean both files as well as the registry. I will do them one at a time, get the text info, reboot, then capture a screenshot of the "Documents" properties. And - yes, "Properties" in Vista is comparable to "My Properties" in XP. The same is true for "Computer" in Vista vs "My Computer" in XP. Of coarse, you do realize that if you are going to try to diagnose this particular problem using XP as your referance OS, you may very well NOT end up with the same issues or parameters as I am using Vista 64-bit. Nevertheless, I will take all the help I can get. Thank you. ==============================================================================

Well, as far as my understanding of "Documents" goes, I am referring to when I click on "Start" - then right click on "Documents" which sits directly below the logged in user name - then click on Properties. As seen in the image I uploaded of said Properties, there is nothing there, including the ability to change the location of the default location for "Documents". As far as "before" and "after" screen shots of the CCleaner action, that will take some time as well as thought. I'm not sure how I can get a screen shot of ALL of the actions in a long list of stuff which one needs to scroll down the list to see. ==================================================================

No, I am using the default CCleaner settings, and no read/write restraints of any kind other than the defaults from setting up new user accounts. It does it to the Administrator account as well. It is a Dell Studio 1737 laptop model # PP31L purchased from Best Buy. ====================================================================

I am running Windows Vista SP2 64-bit. I have run into an issue with CCleaner in the past on this machine and I thought it is finally time I reported this bug. CCleaner removes user "Documents" properties from the computer and I cannot get them back. It does it to all user profiles. My fix has been to revert the OS to the last system backup prior to using CCleaner. It had this same bug in SP1 as well.
