General Options:

 

Document History
This cleans the history of recent documents the user has opened. The document history is stored under the Microsoft Windows Start Button under the Documents menu item (Start | Documents).

Windows Find History
This cleans the history of files the user has searched for using the Find program. The Find history is stored under the Microsoft Windows Start Button under Find, then File/Folders menu item (Start | Find | Files/Folders).

Windows Run History
This cleans the history of files the user has run using the Run command. The Run history is stored under the Microsoft Windows Start Button under the Run menu item (Start | Run).

Temporary Files Directory
This cleans the Windows temporary directory (usually located at C:). This directory should not be confused with the Internet Explorer "Temporary Internet Files Directory". The Windows temporary directory stores temporary files that are used during installation of programs and at other various times. Cleaning this directory regularly is generally a good idea. (Note: All contents of this directory are purged during a wash, so the user should be sure that there are no files contained in this directory that he wishes to keep or that are needed by other programs).

Scan Disk Temporary Files
The Windows utility Scan Disk creates .CHK files at the root directory of drives. These files usually contain junk data and can be erased to help keep drives clean. This option will have Anonywasher erase the .CHK files (if they exist) for the user.

Recycle Bin
This cleans out all of the files that are contained in the Recycle Bin.

Special Note: This cleans all the Recycle Bins on all drives on the user’s computer (including any network drives the user mapped).

MS-Office Tracks (MRU)
If the user has MS-Office 97 or 2000 installed on his system, this option will clean up the "Most Recently Used" (MRU) lists that are stored. The MRU lists contain links to the last 5 or 10 items that have been used and are found in MS-Office applications under the OPEN, SAVE AS, Insert Picture, and other options. This will clean the MRU lists under Word, Excel, Access, Photo Editor and PowerPoint. The actual documents or files themselves are not removed, only the references to these items in the MRU are removed.

Windows Media Player
If the user has Windows Media Player installed on his system, this option will clean up the "Most Recently Used" (MRU) lists that are stored. The MRU lists contain links to the last 5 or 10 items that have been used and are found in Windows Media Player application under the OPEN, SAVE AS, and other options. The actual documents or files themselves are not removed, only the references to these items in the MRU are removed.
