Hi, Thanks to you both, my "problem" is solved! I added the right path to both profile folders in ccleaner.ini, after opening it in Notepad as an admin, and it seems to work fine. One big thank you to both of you!

OK, it works. Kinda... It does compact databases for both FirefoxPortable and ThunderbirdPortable, but doesn't seem to empty cache for the browser. Since I didn't know which exact subfolder to point CCleaner at in the FirefoxPortable folder, I just let CCleaner decide for itself. Wrong move? EDIT: I had to take ownership of the ccleaner.ini file first, so I could edit it and save changes.

Got it, done that, found the file, edited it, but couldn't save changes, because I don't have permission (and no, CCleaner isn't running). I saved the file in a different location, and I'll try to place it in the CCleaner folder in Programs later.

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I've read the instructions in the link you supplied, but I can't find the ccleaner.ini file to edit. I've looked into the CCleaner folder in Programs, in AppData, everywhere, and it's nowhere to be found. Truth be told, I've just installed the April Update on my PC, so maybe some caches have been cleared and it's gone. I suppose it's a file CCleaner creates to save user preferences, but if it's not there... I'll try to run CCleaner and get back to you afterward. Stay tuned...!

Hi, Not sure if the title is explicit enough, so I'll elaborate: I use Portable Firefox and Portable Thunderbird on a budget PC whose internal storage is limited (both Mozilla software are "installed" on a microSD card I use as extended storage), and I'd like CCleaner (the installed version, sitting on my C drive) to do its job on those apps. Problem is, since they aren't in Registry, CCleaner can't find them. Should I use aliases, or is there a way to point CCleaner in their direction?

Hi all, New here, so please show some forgiveness! I've installed a small utility called Clavier+ (here, for those who want to try it) on my Win8 Pro machine to emulate Alt-F4 when actually pressing Ctrl-Q. In XP and Win7, I used to map it to Win-Q, same as Command-Q in OS X, for the sake of a system-wide usability, but any action on the Win key in Win8 will trigger the infamous Modern UI menu, so I reverted to Ctrl-Q, and this Ctrl-Q combo does close any running application (it even does it with the whole system if I click on the Desktop first), but none of the Piriform products I have installed, namely, CCleaner, Defraggler and Speccy. Strangely, Alt-F4 alone WILL close CCleaner, but not my Control-Q-mapped-to-Alt-F4 combo. Maybe this has already been debated (a quick search on this forum didn't net me any return, but I may have rushed things). Have you guys seen anything like this?
