Good morning,

I just got done reading 'Beginner's Guide' by TwistedMetal and found it very informative. I thank him for taking the time to write it. :D

However, I do have a question on the 'Advanced' feature.

I still am not clear on exactly what happens if I use this feature. I noted that TwistedMetal recommended to run it at least once a month.

Is there any further information available that could tell me exactly what I should check in this feature and what will happen as a result of it? :unsure:

Thanks and regards,

2harts4ever :wub: :wub:

Have you tried clicking on them? If you do, CCleaner will give you a short explenation about each feature.

Hi rridgely,

Thanks for posting back with your thoughts and suggestion.

No, I hadn't tried clicking on them until after your suggestion.

However, after seeing some of the messages when clicking on them tonight, I guess with my limited computer knowledge I had better let 'well-enough alone' and stick to the basics. :rolleyes:

Thanks and regards,

2harts4ever :wub: :wub:

Hi Tarun,

If this recent response I found half way down the forum page under the heading 'Advanced Options' is accurate I guess I need nothing translated.

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.

There's also a F.A.Q. and more which can be found here.

Hi aqumon and Tarun,

Thanks for the generous offer of assistance should I need it again (which I most likely will ...lol).
