Hello, while I can't tell you if it misses anything I can tell you this. While back I started to write my own cleaner in C. To find out what I needed to clean, I used a few tools. One such tool called filemon is freeware available from
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...leidx,1,00.asp
That will literaly watch all of you files and can tell you when a file is being opened, read writen to ext.. very usefull and if you turn it on before you open EE then you can make filters that will only alow EE stuff to be displayed. Because explorer and other running processes will also be opening files and it will get in your way.
Another tool I used was regmon and can be downloaded for free here

Same thing that filemon does except its for the registry instead of files.
But it realy all comes down to knowing your operating system, windows in this case. cookies, cache and tem are the obvious, but clipboard and start menu history are not so obvious.
To clean those types of stuff I made use of the Win32 API in C, more spasificaly the shell functions Those are the functions that begin with SH*
I did alot of searching too on google to find things to clean. But again just experimenting, useing difernt cleaners and becomeing familiar with windows is the way to go.
Sorry I cant answer your question, however if you PM me I can give you more information on cleaning.
