OK, I'll post back when I'm finished with MBAM.
yeah I concur with hazel especially in light of her thread

and seeing combo fix in you recents list
I have finished working on the computer with MBAM expert and everything is OK.
Now, I am ready to deal with the CCleaner issue and need some help.
Thanks
Have you started again with a fresh download of ccleaner (slim version or portable)

and does the same thing happen?
If it does and you run into the same issue and have to restore to a point BEFORE you went to the MBAM forum it wouldn't really be a good thing.
It must be something particular to your machine if it keeps happening, as this is not a known event for ccleaner. Also you state in your MBAM thread
I reinstalled MBAM and updated without any problem. I have not enabled realtime protection.
Before I installed MBAM and earlier in the day, on one startup, I had the same problem of it booting, login, Window chimes, but no desktop. On restart, it corrected itself. This seems to be a reoccurring problem sometimes with no known trigger.
This leads me to think that it is not ccleaner that is causing this.
