Keep settings in MS Games

Silly question, I know. While waiting for sites to load, MS software to open, and just putzing around, I like to play the standard Games in Win7. Unfortunately, I can't remember which setting in ccleaner wipes all of the game settings. I HATE the defaults of show animations, play sounds, show tips, etc. the idots in Redmond chose but every time I run ccleaner, my preferences are gone and the idiotic game defaults return. So, which / where is the setting in ccleaner to leave my preferred settings alone?

Thank you.

Maybe

[Game Explorer]
ID=2174
LangSecRef=3025
DetectOS=6.0
DetectFile=%%LocalAppData%\Microsoft Games
DetectFile2=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\GameExplorer
DetectFile3=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\GFWLive
Default=False
FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft Games|*.xml.bak|RECURSE
FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\GameExplorer\GameStatistics|*.*|REMOVESELF
FileKey3=%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\GFWLive|*.log|RECURSE

If you have winapp2.ini installed, also [MS Windows Game Statistics] deletes settings.. I should rename it to Game Explorer More*
