Johnoo, if the problem persists, could you perhaps try removing CCleaner with Revo Uninstaller Free:

http://download.cnet.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html . Use the search for all other files etc towards the end of the process.

Then, download the latest version of CCleaner from here:

http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner using the link on the upper right corner in the link - version 4.05.4250

Next do all the things which you have done during your trials and wait and see. :wacko:

Irene,

Thanks but I already have downloaded the latest version 4.05.4250

I will tonight do a normal shutdown, after running CC & see what happens on start up tomorrow.

If the problem continues I may miss a night of running CC but then after that run it at start up. Might sound stupid but it may work!

On waking this morning had a stiff drink before switching on just in case I had problems again, yes it's getting at me!


But on switch on all the locations I had set have been maintained. The only thing I did not do last night was to log out of e mail, will do this tonight just to make sure this is not causing the problem.


Thanks to all for your help & concern on this subject, hope I can close it out

Hi Bludgard & thanks for your interest.

I run AVG 2013 free ....

Maybe AVG is cleaning cookies on shutdown/startup? Maybe try disabling this feature?

MBAM will clean cookies as well when run @ default setting....

Bludgard,

Have checked out AVG & the box to delete "Tracking Cookies" is not checked.

So think that rules AVG out.

I looked at the AVG User Manual & there is no other reference to Cookies

Still looking for a solution.

Tonight I will not log out of e mail & see what happens tomorrow.

Perhaps a interesting development.

Last night did not log out of e mail, but ran CC.

This morning at switch on locations had been maintained.

Could it be that the mail program (BT Yahoo) is causing the problem?

I spoke too soon.

Last night, shut down without logging out of mail.

Ran CC

This morning I had lost again the locations I wanted to be maintained.

Any advise/help?

Do you have a particular need or affection for BTYahoo? I gave up with their pestilential email system about a day after I installed it. It may have improved but I'm not willing to give it another go. I now use Thunderbird after a long period with Outlook and I am quite happy with that - and I don't have the difficulties you're having!

Pops,


Thanks, I want to keep with BTYahoo mainly because I'm used to it!


But I now don't think it's causing the fault.


I have gone back to basics & just set the Cookies I want to keep in CC


But sometimes they are maintained & other times they are not.


I think also I have changed all of the settings within IE "Delete Browsing History"



Sounds stupid I know but my next plan is to run CC at start up (having missed out on the close down run) & see if that works.


This is really getting to me

I have now been running C Cleaner at start up in the morning rather than close down at night & have found that the problem is partly cured.

By doing this the BBC & Google map locations are maintained but I still lose the log in for Trip Advisor. Please note that the "cookies" for Trip Advisor have been set in C Cleaner to be maintained

Any ideas why this is & why the difference between running at shut down & start up?

Does your computer acquire so much rubbish that it needs Ccleaner to be run every day?

I run that program once a week - when I run the weekly maintenance.

No, but I have just got into the routine of doing it daily.

But regardless of run frequency the basic problem still exists!
