    Did you do anything in gpedit.msc or disable any services?

    Hm good to know.

    If you save your entries before deleting them (CCleaner should give you the option to save) then you can just restore them.
    Do you know which registry entry is responsible for this? If you do you can prevent CCleaner from deleting it, and this will eliminate the problem.
