Recurrent Issue in CCleaner's Registry Function

Hi

That MUIcache area in the registry is generally where, when you start an app up it caches up its shortcut etc for quicker opening later, now in cases I have seen where this continually pops up in the likes of CCleaner (once known as Crap Cleaner) it is down to corrupted app that loads on startup.

So to rule out a startup, click Start > Run and type msconfig and the Startup tab, then disable everything, and reboot is the registry key still found? if not enable one app and reboot, and check again, and so on until you find an app that adds this registry key in ccleaners scan and please name the app or startup.


as oobe is Out of Box Experience and linked to activation of XP or various Windows wizards, your not using any method to bypass say activation/WGA or blocking the update if Internet Explorer 6/7 to IE8 or have a script installed to say block USB pens from automatically opening (not saying at all you have a hooky version of Xp, just some of the block to stop WGA can cause this to flag each boot and clean with CCleaner or the likes. to the other apps to block certain things like USB from autorunning) and as such you can have CCleaner ignore it (options > exclude >add click Registry and paste in the HKEY link HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache)

oobefldr,-33057 is Learn Windows Features and likely one of the help wizards, but why it would continue to pop up, dunno offhand.

But I would also just do a malware scan of your PC, Malwarebytes or SuperantiSpyware are good. If anything nasty found then run our Read and Run me in the Malware forum and start new thread their and attach logs.


What Antivirus application do you have installed as well as any other security apps?

 

Yeah as Caliban mentions, no idea why I thought you had XP must have been on autopilot.

With it kicking in all the time, it sounds like a startup app causing an issue, also could be a PC cleaning app if you have any others installed apart form CCleaner? eg. an app like Registry Mechanic, Uniblue apps or other registry and PC cleaners etc, do mention anything like these apps you have installed and have auto run or run manually.

The msconfig route to troubleshoot a startup app is easy but definatly a bit time consuming, so quick but not always going to highlight the app thats causing this is to enter Safe Mode (F8 at boot) and choose Safe Mode with Networking, to see if the same happens in Safe Mode.
