The warning is actually generated when you shut down your computer or
log off your user account.
I'll point you to a workaround, but first here is the explanation in a
(small) nutshell: One or more programs are not exiting completely when
you shut down or log off, so Windows eventually has to kick them out.
The solution is to install a work-around from Microsoft called the User
Profile Hive Cleanup service. It's completely safe. The ReadMe file
explains the situation in full geek.
