Wow...I guess when I get out of my way and disable the CCleaner tray icon via msconfig.exe, the most basic and fundamental thing you can do that should always work, and CCleaner renews the entry for the startup tray icon EVERY TIME I start it...that's the way of the programmers to give customers the middle finger.
Well...it seems that every other year I'm looking for a new tool like this. They start of clean and simple but sooner or later they become a corporation that, in order to stay in the competition, has to exploit their customers whenever and however they can. Good bye.
