    It took me less than 3 minutes to complete the cleaning process. Everything from the list is finally done.

    It couldn't clean up alot of space (Because there wasn't alot of cleaning to be done, Im not sure.. But I assume that if CCleaner didn't do anything, it might have atleast done that.. I could be wrong though!)

    Anything else you'd like to get done, Dragon or Bob?

    That is good news! You now have the instructions of what to do n a regular basis to keep the computer in the best shape. Do it. Don't rely on a program like CCleaner and assume it is doing everything for you. I am very big on a user being in charge of their system!

    Come back if you need help at some later time, but be sure you start off by telling us that you have done the regular maintenance on the system- regularly!

    Will do! You've been so much help!

    I won't let you down.
    (As the last question, would a defrag be a good step to take towards cleaning/keeping my pc good-to-use?)

    Yes, it would. when getting your 'routine' set up, here's a good order:
    Disc Cleanup> then Error Check> then Defrag.

    You may not be able to follow that right now, but for later- doing the disc cleanup first cuts down on the files, doing the error check smooths out glitches and finally, the defrag will put things back in order. Remember to update and scan regularly with AV and t least 2 spyware/adware programs as part of the 'routine.

    Got it. Will run the defrag overnight one night this week (School starting).

    Thanks again guys, will be on and off these forums :) (Not the tech part!!!)

    Adam, I tried to reply to the PM but apparently you're not set up for it.

    I tried to identify the CLSID:
    {D6DD727B-C141-4127-9F6A-FC8AB507B792}

    Found this Google page. It appears to be some kind or art- maybe poster, downloaded from BitTorrent. You can check the Google page and see if anything looks familiar: http://tinyurl.com/6ymnhh

    With the problems you've had, I would encourage you to do a right click> delete on the file.

    Thanks, Bob.

    Will do. I didn't want to delete anything I was unsure about.

    (I didn't think it was important, just wasn't sure if it was a malicious file or not)

    The general rule I follow is: "if you don't know, don't!"
