That's why cleanini writes a log file. If you really want to watch
realtime, you can pipe the output into more or less.

A CAD reboot will never do a reset. It will do a revert. Depending on
the timing and the specific fixes most or all of your fixes will be lost.

It's exactly the same WPS reset that Unimaint's Desktop -> Reset Desktop
uses.

All the cleaners do the fixes in a non-standard way wrt to the WPS.
That's why the reset is required to make some of the changes stick.

This is typical. These are defects in the WPS that have existed basically
forever. It's supposed to delete the handles but this does not always
happen. It similar to the lost clusters that used to occur with FAT
filessystems under DOS.
