I ran cleanini with no switches and got this start of the log file (below)
which I interpret to mean the only changes cleanini wants to make are to
handles.
Is my interpretation correct?
(Any figures in parentheses fom here on are from the run with the /Logdel
switch two days earlier)

The end of that log looked like this :

It appears that handles with codes like these are deleted:
2133 3EE4 file 0 x None del K:\LARSONPIX GOOD\3A-N.JPG 1890
BD2D dir 0 x None del M:\TMP\ZTMP000
but handles with codes like these are not deleted:
4638 8377 ? 0 ? FldPos --- K:\LARSNPIX
0509 8377 ? 0 D None --- K:\AMROC PIX
7D55 0000 FD 0 x None --- L:

D4B5 2B0F ? 0 D None --- C:\OS2\POINTERS
B53F D4B5 ? 0 ? Location --- C:\OS2\POINTERS\SMALL BLACK
POINTERS
So it looks like cleanin: (1) does not delete, in fact doesn't even check
a handle which it finds in the ini file, (2) doesn't delete a handle with
a FD in column 3 or a D in column4 even if that handle is not in the ini
file.
I have concluded that: (1) Unimaint merely looks to see if a handle can be
followed to a drive, directory or file, (2) chkini does this and looks for
duplicate handles and files and drives that cannot be accessed, and (3)
that cleanini goes a step further to reject any file or directory handle
that is not in the sysini file except if an FD (Fixed Disk?) appears in
column 3 or a D (Drive?) appears in column 5.
Can you tell me, without too much effort, if my conclusions are corrct and
what cleanini is doing that Unimaint and chekini do not do? If I am in
over my head just say so and tell me to delete whatever cleanini wants to.
In any case tell me if it is okay to delete the handles cleanini wants to
delete.
Incidentally I have also concluded that, so far as the PM and PMWP entries
are concerned, chkini finds errors that Unimaint missed, but cleanini does
not.
I am sorry to have taken up so much of your time on this ini maintenance
business.
