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.
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.

you need to terminate Windows Explorer manually... bring up the task manager and under 'Processes' tab, search for 'explorer.exe' and end it... then go to File -> New Task (Run...) and enter explorer.exe to bring up the explorer again...

I checked my Advance button and I don't have any of the choices you answered about. I have:
Only delete files in temp files older than 48 hours.
Hide wanring messages
Close program after cleaning
show promt to back up registry issues
show detailed log of Internet Explorer Temp files
Where are the choices to check tray notification cache, etc....?

One of those Advanced cleaner settings removes the Quick Launch bar without the ability to have it stay re-enabled after cleaning. I don't know which one it is though since I quickly restored the registry to get the Quick Launch bar back.
