Registry Check Boxes

CCleaner for Windows
1

I just downloaded CCleaner for the first time and am checking it out. I want to run the registry cleaner option, but would like to know ahead of time what each check box is actually looking for.

For example, (1) What does Start Menu Ordering do? (2) What about MUI cache?

I like the fact that it shows a list of changes that will be made before making them, but in a few cases it's not clear what's actually happening. For example:

(1) What is an Installer Reference Issue? (2) What is Old Start Menu Key doing?

I viewed the online help but didn't see this detail, though I might have missed it.

It's not showing any list of changes thats going to be made. The checkboxes are just areas for ccleaner to scan in and look for invalid entrys. Having all these check does no damage or even change anything to your pc while its scanning.

What you need to check on is the entrys it finds after scanning. Then check what these entrys are.
