Well, here we go (I've skipped the ones that are mentioned earlier in 
this thread, and those that I've no opinion/knowledge).


- Other user data
I would keep this with the other (First Name, Last Name) so 'Generic'


- Help Agent
I would go for 'Generic'


- Number of Undo Steps    'Unnecessary'
Interferers with memory usage which is an area with sometimes problems 
(I've noticed on certain citrix installations)
So I would go for 'Advanced'.


- Icons in Menus        'Unnecessary'
It definitely can add to learning, if icons from toolbars are visible in 
the menu too (and also I find it nice to see).
I would go for 'Generic'


- Show preview of fonts / Show font history
         'Unnecessary' (Always enabled)
Fine for me, as the tech guys confirm that there are no technical 
reasons for that (in certain circumstances)


- Graphics Output
   Use hardware acceleration and Use Anti-Aliasing
are in the same category for me: to watch for with certain use.
Having them available in one place is more logic to me.


- Selection
   Transparency (level)     'Unnecessary'
Ah well, it looks nice, so pls lets keep it!


-  Print / Reduce Print Data
All contextual.... Yes, but I know where those are set per company 
policy. So as 'Generic' setting ...


- Paths / Templates
I would say 'Advanced'


-  Online Update
I would say 'Generic' for sure!


- Load / Load user-specific settings with the document
I would say 'Advanced'


- Warn when not saving in ODF or default format   ' Advanced'
I would keep this with the other (Default file format) so 'Generic'


- Spellcheck / Hypnenation
I would say 'Generic' for all those...

Cheers,
