Are you sure it's removing the actual files and not the prefetch data for those files???? Can you post a screenshot? or a log file (right click on the output on CCleaner save to text and paste here)

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION
DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

I have learned that an old dog can learn new tricks.

The ramifications of clearing out prefetch file has been discussed before:
http://forum.pirifor...showtopic=17155

I also started using PCs in 1982 and I find I am still learning new tricks.
