Visual Studio and Source Safe

I had a very strange problem today. I started up Visual Studio and opened one of my projects, only to be told that my source control provider could not be initialised. I had to open my project without integrated source control.

After some online investigation I managed to work out that I needed to re-register SSSCC.DLL (in VSS\Win32 folder) with regsvr32.

The bizarre thing is that it was working fine yesterday when I finished work. All I have done this morning since then is some web browsing, so how the hell did SSSCC become unregistered? very bizarre!
