Possible moderate CCleaner bug affecting IE7 + other things

This problem has returned.

If you create a print file but leave it pending, and then run CCleaner, after that the file could have gone.

Unless you are running CCleaner whilst you are simultaneously printing, I do not see how CCleaner could be responsible for deleting the print file whilst it is being created.

If you have seen the file being created and immediately lost / deleted, perhaps :-

1. The printer drivers have read all the data "instantly" and signalled completion without actually putting ink to paper;

2. Something strange happened to the registry.

Possibly causes might be a Windows security patch, or cleaning the registry.

I always protect myself by having Windows update totally disabled until every-one else has had a few days to complain if the latest security patches cause problems, and then before enabling the update I archive a disc image ready for an instant restoration should I wish.

Additionally, I never clean the registry without first agonising over the possible consequences of each item, and only then do I clean with the backup option selected.
