Can't remember, there would be too many to list, and it depends on your particular installation. I guess the answer is whatever you have on your fresh installation. If you want any advice (not always guaranteed to be good) on a specific setting then just ask.

I would go steady on the Registry cleaning, and also uninstalls and startup until you are more familiar and confident with CC. Also don't permanently tick a box that brings up a You will lose all Your Settings message.

I have seen a similar answer else where in the forum i.e 'whatever you have on your fresh installation' or 'as it is out of the box'
But like others I have 'messed about' with the original settings.
It is a pity that we cannot see a picture of what those originals setting were, perhaps, some where on this forum or in the help documents.
However thank you for your comments
Kind regards

I would say that's a very good interpretation of what "default" settings should be for new users. Nice post anonymous.

And sound advice from Augeas also.
