    I have just recently started to use IE 8. After I run CCleaner (not register cleaner), I have to rearrange, add/delete content on my homepage (MSN) to the way I like it. This did not happen when I was using IE 7. IE 8 is the only new thing that I have added to my computer. I have tried to set up CCleaner so that it doesn't remove my MSN cookie. That does not help matters. My OS is Win XP. Any suggestions, please? Thanks.

    You seem to indicate that you are only telling CCleaner to save only one MSN cookie. There is more than one cookie: msn.com my.msn.com as well as live.com cookies. If these are added to the CCleaner Cookies to Keep you should see your msn home page changes saved.

    Besides, cookies are harmless, very tiny text files, which don't take space and don't bother anything.
    I never clean cookies.

    I added more MSN cookies to the keeper list and everything is working OK now. Thanks.
    I don't know why this problem started all of a sudden, but all's fine now.
