Hi all I don't have any items in Advanced checked off in CC when I run it.

I assume these are not checked by default.

Should we have these items checked?

Check them only if they apply to you. I don't ever backup my registry issues, so I have the "Show prompt to backup registry issues" box left unchecked. I like to see what IE temp files are removed (even though I rarely use IE), so I have "Show detailed log of Internet Explorer temporary files" checked.

It is mostly personal preference.

take some time to read the beginner's guide...

Menu Order Cache
The Start menu allows you to set a custom order to the programs listed, although there's no option to sort all folders by name. Selecting this option removes any custom ordering from the Start menu.

Tray Notifications Cache
In Windows XP the System Tray (the set of icons next to the clock in the bottom-right corner) orders and hides items automatically for you. Whilst this is useful, it records a list of every program that has been run from the tray. This option clears the list of previous programs and removes any custom display/hide options. (Warning: This won't have any affect until you manually restart the explorer process from the Task Manager.)

Window Size/Location Cache
Windows Explorer stores the view formatting and ordering settings for each folder on your system. After some time, this can contain a large amount of redundant data and may even slow down browsing for files on your system. Selecting this option will clear this data and reset the Windows Explorer display settings to their default option.

User Assist History
The start menu on Windows XP displays a list of the most recently run programs. Selecting this option will clear this list.

IIS Log Files
IIS (Internet Information Server) is the service Windows uses to display web pages. This comes with most XP Pro and Windows 2000 installations and is generally only used by web developers or designers. Every time someone requests a page it gets logged to a text file. Unless the computer is a web server, these are generally not needed, and may be safely deleted. This option will safely delete these files.

Custom Files and Folders
Will clean your custom files and Folders that you have selected in Options, Customs.


there is one more Hotfix Uninstallers... which remove the uninstallers of Windows Hotfix from your system (does it make sense to explain it this way...?)
