Hi zlazeel, and welcome to Piriform.

If it was XP, I would suggest unchecking "User Assist History", but I have no idea if it's the same in Windows 7. Try it and see.

For what it's worth, I have the entire start menu populated with 24 pinned shortcuts, and to ensure they're not removed however CCleaner is set up, I right click the Start Menu, select "Properties\Customize" and I set the "Number of items on Start Menu" to 0.

But as I say, I'm not 100% sure with Windows 7.

Either way, I hope that helps.

Ah, you didn't say that. Pinned items usually means the Start Menu.

This quicklaunch problem has appeared before, and it could possibly be the "Tray Notification Cache", or "Window Size/Location Cache"

Not too sure about that one, so maybe wait for some more input.
