I have a Vista laptop. I followed all the instrutions above to the letter. CCleaner appears to have run,according to History for the task, but my Recycle Bin is still not empty. If I select Run in Task Scheduler, same thing. Recycle bin does not empty. If I start and run CCleaner manually from my desktop icon, it cleans the Recycle Bin This happens only on my Vista laptop. All my XP machines run perfectly.
