When I set up a Vista Task schedule to auto run ccleaner all is great until I switch off my computer. When i switch it back on the ccleaner task does not run. So I have to reinstall cleaner and start again. Whatsup?

You should not need to reinstall, however Vista+task scheduler+CCleaner = Fail as Cleaner needs elevated privilages to run (UAC Prompt must be clicked)
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.
