From: M Skabialka on 23 Feb 2010 11:14 I seldom shut down my WinXP computer since it reboots slowly. However I do after I get updates. The last two times I have rebooted, my list of prefilled items in the Start, Run list has been wiped out completely. There are several functions I perform from there often, so would like to stop the list getting erased. Has a recent Windows update caused this? If not, what else could have? Mich

No CCleaner installed, in fact nothing installed lately except a keyboard driver.
