What the buttons do:
Restore Default Toolbars and Menus:
Checks for the location of the folder containing the CmdUI.PRF file,
which is the file that contains a pointer to the Toolbar and Menu
settings. If this file is corrupt, it can keep the program from opening
or cause it to open and freeze. Deleting this file forces creation a new
one when either program is reopened.
Note: You may have to reinstall addins after deleting this file.
Change the "Open Last Web" Setting:
If your program is set to open the last web edited and that web has a
problem, it can keep the program from opening or cause it to open and
freeze. Use this feature to change that setting to ensure the program is
not trying to open a web when it starts.
Clear the Hidden "Temporary" Files:
Checks for the location of the hidden Temporary directory for the logged
on User. It then checks for the existence of the directory and if found
it clears the directory, sending any files to the Recycle bin.
Files left behind in these directories by an improper computer or
program shut down will cause problems
when trying to open / save / edit pages on your web site. Deleting them
"usually" solves the problem.
Clear the Hidden Web Cache files (*.web):
It checks for the proper location of the folder that contains the web
cache files. There is a .web file for each of your webs, and for each
web location. If these files become corrupt it causes problems opening /
closing or publishing your web site. Deleting them forces creation of
new clean files when each web is opened or published.
Properties:
Opens the Windows file properties dialog for FPCleaner.exe
Info / Cancel:
Displays Cancel when the right panel is displaying program buttons.
Clicking Cancel removes the program buttons and resets the information
panel.
When it displays Info, clicking it displays the basic information text.
Start:
Displays a button for either FrontPage® or Expression Web Designer® or
SharePoint Designer®
or one for each if installed, on the right side of the FP Cleaner panel.
Clicking a button will start that program and close FP Cleaner.
Close:
FP Cleaner closes without starting a program.
