Could someone please identify what the default boxes are for Cleaner/Windows?

This is from the Beginner's Guide:
Cleaner
Windows
On your left you have check boxes to select what you would like to clean or not to clean.
Tip: I recommend using the default checked boxes and running Advanced maybe once a month or so.

I've been having some issues after running CCleaner with all of the boxes in the Windows section checked (without running Advanced). Would like to go back to whatever the default configuration was but cannot locate that information.

I can't even begin to remember what the defaults are, however one way to get back to the default settings is to uninstall CCleaner, then reinstall it. CCleaner probably needs a reset to factory defaults option for those situations.

Wouldn't navigating to CCleaner Folder while CCleaner is not running then delete ccleaner.ini return it to its default state?

Maybe or probably if the option within CCleaner to save the settings to INI file although I've never actually tried it myself. If settings are in the registry that's a different situation.
