Hi Cymrubeats, welcome to piriform forums.
Is this a change in CCleaner, or has it always shown this many startup items even with SP1?
What does startup show in msconfig?
Also, there is a new version of CCleaner. It may help if you do a clean installation of the new version.

Hi Jamin4u, thank you for the welcome, and the reply.
It has always been like that. My laptop came with Vista home Premium Sp1 installed...which i promptly removed (it's an Acer laptop, so you can just imagine all the useless crapware that was on it out of the box.) Before i removed it though, i 'experimented', testing which services i could disable, tweaking UAC to my liking etc etc, and in the process of doing that 'experimentation', i installed CCleaner, and all those startup items were there even then.
When i done a clean format/reinstall of Home Premium sp1, installed CCleaner once more, the startup list, again, still had all those entries...moving on a bit, installed sp2 beta; for anyone who hasn't installed it, you're in for quite a surprise when it's released...it's still a beta just now, obviously, but my comp is a fair bit faster, and more 'solid' feeling than with sp1, oh, and the boot time was cut quite dramatically too, without using readyboost...anyway, i'm digressing
Installed sp2 beta, and all the entries are still there in tools/startup.
When i run msconfig, things are as they should be, the only entry in startup there, is the avgtray.exe one.
Also, if i right click on any of the entries (excluding the avgtray.exe one...that will disable/enable, and uninstall as it should) and select disable, i get a message that reads 'failed to enable/disable startup item, access denied', and if i try to delete any, the delete confirmation message appears, but when i select yes, nothing happens.
Sorry for making such a long post, but i wanted to get as much info in as possible. ![:P]()

Oh, and just to clarify, before i replied to you, i installed the latest build of CCleaner.
