Need assistance with troubleshooting this annoying warning message.
It seems to appear after using 'Temp File Cleaner' by OldTimer, Ccleaner by Piriform and ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
I have no doubt that a file or files are being deleted, I just can't work out why they aren't staying on my machine if they are required.
The machine requires that I leave my Dell Resource CD in the drive, so when this message appears I click OK and everything appears to be fine.

Attached File  Dell_Resource_CD.JPG ( 20.86K ) Number of downloads: 12



Many thanks in advance. smile.gif

It sounds like it places a file or files in a temp area as that is all TFC cleans up.

There must be something starting at boot time that is requesting this. Take a look with msconfig, or HijackThis (Misc Tools /Generate Startup list (check the two boxes there first)).
