[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1706507"] The way Onyx comes as default is the best way to run it. You won't need to run it very often (I run it maybe every 6 months, if I remember, unless someone asks a question about it, then I'll run it to answer the question, but not do the "cleaning" or "Maintenance" functions. The "Maintenance" functions only need to be run if you have problems, but when Onyx starts it does a check of the boot drive and you can see the results of that check in the "Structure of the disk" tab. Cleaning you can pretty much leave as the default, then go from tab to tab and Execute. I don't use the Automation tab, so I'll leave that to someone else to comment. Utilities I've not used either, but then I haven't needed to, fortunately. Petty much I use Onyx to run the permission repair now that Apple has removed it from Disk Utility, then I use cleaning to get rid of junk. That's about all OS X needs. [/QUOTE]
