MS Windows Wall Paper
More Windows Explorer
MUI Cache
MS Config
Config. msi. folder

What exactly is cleaned with these?

All you have to do is look at the FileKey or RegKey entries to get an ideal! ;)

As for the two entries I made that you're wondering about (note, this info is listed under the entry names in winapp2.ini):

Config.msi Folder:
Cleans the Config.msi folder in case a Windows Installer package
is sloppy and doesn't automatically remove unpacked setup files.

MSConfig:
Removes the MSConfig.exe ExpandFrom and ExpandTo MRU list after
using the Expand File feature (aka .cab file extraction tool).
Also removes MSConfig from autostarting when Windows does after
you've intentionally disabled a Start Up program.
Complexity of incoherent design.

I did read the file key and reg key info but just wanted a clearer explanation. It gives me a good idea of what and where but not exactly what it cleans. For example MS Windows wall paper. Obviously it has something to do with the desktop wall paper but what exactly does it do? Does it wipe out the wall paper you are using or what? I won't be cleaning something I don't fully understand.
