[Does CCleaner clean for all users?]

Thank you cjltech. Very interesting.

 

I was wondering if it is possible to explain the code a bit or if there is a manual or tutorial somewhere on the Internet. Among other things because I also use browsers Opera, Mozilla, Safari. I have the impresion that the line

[sET SRC2=Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5]

has something to do with Internet Explorer. Also do I have different logical disks for boot, windows and data.

 

Do I need to make adaptations for that?

 

You will need to make adaptations. The majority of my clients use IE. You would have to set up additional variables that match the paths where firefox and the other browsers store their temp files. Of course you would then need the additional lines to actually go and delete files in those paths.

[Does CCleaner clean for all users?]

This is peculiar to me. I came to this forum because I saw (from the analyses and log screen) that CCleaner does not clean files of other users, only of the logged in user, even if the logged in user has administrators rights.

 

This is confirmed at the suggestions forum:

http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=21308

were the possibility to clean temporary files for all users is requested.

 

 

When trying to go after virusus on other users profiles, I find in somewhat easier to delete their temp files from a fairly unused admin account. I use a batch file to accomplish what everybody wants CCleaner to do.

 

This works great in combination with CCleaner to clean the registry and other stuff.

 

Copy the code below into a text file. rename it something like: cleanxp.bat

 

Cheers!
