Do you have administrator privileges on your computer?

Do you have any programs that reset the registry when you boot/shutdown?

Go to Tools/Options/Security on the WLM menu. Make sure you don't have "this is a shared computer so don't store my address book, display picture, or personal message" checked. It doesn't list password and login, but I'd be double sure it's not checked by accident.

You ran a reg cleaner? And you didn't do a registry backup? It looks like your registry is mucked up, I'm afraid. In future ALWAYS allow your reg cleaner to backup in case of trouble.
