For some reason, Apple assumed everyone would leave their computer on all the time and scheduled cleanup at 3AM- 5AM. (system regularly purge itself of outdated, space-hogging log files, update system databases so utilities like locate can work effectively, and do several other maintenance tasks that keep your system running lean and mean.) Product Description MacJanitor: Freeware utility to run the system's daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance scripts. Excellent for laptop users and others who shut their Macs off at night. These scripts are normally run between 3am and 5am, and will not be run if you shut off your Mac at night. This will allow log files to grow very large, and prevent system databases from getting backed up. With MacJanitor, you can run these scripts 'by hand' periodically without having to use the Terminal to keep your Mac OS X machine in top racing form. There is also an easy to understand tutorial on how to change the time in the Terminal so it runs automatically. <http://oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2001/12/14/terminal_one.html> > >> Preferences can be found in your user folder: Library: preferences: > > I threw out the entire Microsoft folder in the preferences.

To me this is pointing to something else on your system causing the problem. Run MacJanitor first. It's the easiest thing to try.
