In the past i've noticed that after a while my computer stops opening new windows, until I reboot.

This means that something must be hitting the windows objects or handles limits.

I had a look at my mIRC today, it was running over 57,000 handles after 10+ hours of $uptime(mirc,1).

With all my scripts/remotes unloaded it's been running 30+ mins, it's already started to reach 900 handles.

I decided to investigate further...

I used the sysinternals Process Explorer to take a look at the handles associated with mIRC.

One handle I see, time and time again, which takes up the bulk of this list is:
HKCU\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\com\simpledevices\simplecenter\settings

Yet, I have no idea why...

Does anyone have any clue as to where to go with this from here?
