Yes, I've used both for some time. CCleaner seems efficient and it remembers my past choices so I don't remove things I'd like to keep, I particularly like that it offers to save a backup of its registry changes with a date stamp. Autoruns is simple to use and easy to undo if I make a mistake. (I use the article's suggestion on how to use it by not showing M$ signed programs.) I could probably use it to reduce running programs further if I knew enough about Windows. That Autoruns was written by the people at SysInternals is a high recommendation for me. (I've used their pcTools programs to solve some seemingly-impossible problems.)

But since I didn't delete them one at a time and test, I don't know which one was the culprit. Also did a defrag. Again no pre- and post-test. But things seem to be going faster now. About 5 seconds to open an mdb.

Also run Sygate but same there. Is there a windows feature that might have got changed during an update? Something changed in the last week or so.

This is a P4 3GHz box w/ 2GB Ram. What would be the most common things to look at for a cause of slow openings?
