im on and off of my computer all day. when finishing one session at the computer i usually dont know how long it will be before im back. sometimes im away from it for 5 minutes, sometimes a few hours. when im sleeping is when i run virus or spyware scans or upload pics to my websight, so i dont usually turn it off at night either. otherwise my computer would be on and off 10-15 times a day. i just need to remember to reboot once in awhile to let processes reset. thanks all for the feedback bryan

guess i should reboot my system once in awhile that did the trick, thanks for your help

hi, thanks for the quick reply. you assume right, im using xp. the user assist history is not checked. it was when i first ran the cleaner, but when i realized the problem i was having i went and unchecked it hoping that would fix it. it didnt. any other ideas ? thanks again bryan

before running ccleaner for the first time any program i ran would automatically pin a shortcut to the start menu, it no longer does ? any ideas ? thanks bryan
