    CCleaner settings are still stored under the registry key "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Piriform\CCleaner". The registry key "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner" is used for a few installation settings only.

    If your registry key "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Piriform\CCleaner" is empty, then you probably enabled "Save all settings to INI file". Therefore, you have to add the CustomLocation1 to the ccleaner.ini file.

    And you have to specify the path to the user profile, for example:
    CustomLocation1=CHROME|C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome Beta\User Data\Default
    (Quotation marks are not necessary.)

    Awesome!  Adding the line into the ccleaner.ini file fixed it.  This ought to be a FAQ,  Thanks for your help.

  2. This fix does not work.  Ccleaner is not finding Chrome Beta in its default installation location on Windows 10:  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application"

    Furthermore, the referenced instruction page for Mozilla browsers describes a registry edit location that doesn't exist, so this looks like an old, outdated answer that no longer applies.  The registry setting is now in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Piriform\CCleaner

    The supposed fix, adding a string value (in the correct registry hive) of "CustomLocation1" with data "CHROME|"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Beta\Application"" doesn't work. 

    The statement that Ccleaner doesn't support beta software is irrelevant to this issue.  I've been using Ccleaner with Chrome Beta for many years, and this is the first installation I have done whereby Ccleaner is not finding Chrome.  This is a bug.

    I have paid for Ccleaner Professional.  Surely there must be official product support that is not from a user-to-user forum?
