Hi Julian,
Check the following registry keys (Start - Run regedit) for
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\restore\rstrui.exe -c"
If found, backup each key by right clicking on it and selecting Export.
Then delete the key. Reboot the system.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
INFO: Run, RunOnce, RunServices, RunServicesOnce and Startup

Was CCleaner used on the system by chance?

This XP SP2 OS on an HP Pavilion notebook (zd8123ea) has taken to
performing a System Restore at every startup... but no changes have
been apparent - event log says "A restoration to "(unknown)" restore
point occurred successfully." (all restore points having disappeared)
Big question: How do I stop this?
Smaller question: What has gone wrong?
Thanks,
Julian
[More stuff if interested follows...]
Disabling System Restore via the System control panel - did not work;
another restore occurred after restarting [so system restore was
re-enabled]
FYI The event log also shows an error that occurred before the first
restart
The System Restore filter encountered the unexpected error
'0xC0000010' while processing the file 'Britannica' on the volume
'LxrJD31mE'. It has stopped monitoring the volume.
This is a folder on a removable USB memory stick (which was correctly
removed with the "Safely Remove Hardware" utility).
Even when a USB drive is plugged in (Drive E:) System Restore in the
System Control panel only says C: is being monitored. Why was the
volume E being monitored? Did that error cause the system restore
points to disappear?
