Hi hope someone can help as I am probably the least techie amongst you. I have CCleaner which is brilliant. I use it on Home PC where I am the Administrator. My daughter has a user account and I have read that currently CCleaner only works ont he owner/user (me the administrators) account. When I log into my daughters windows account I cannot even see C Cleaner in the programme list. Obviously as a user she is not allowed to download programs so how can I get it to work in her account - hope that makes sense. Thanks.
Welcome to the forums, Scrabble57 !!!
1. Here is a little tip for you.
Start CCleaner.
After you have selected all "your" normal settings for CCleaning options and cookies and such in CCleaner, don't forget the Applications tab as well as the Windows tab.
Before exiting the program, go to Options > Advanced > Save all settings to INI file and check that option.
Now TOGGLE every option there is in CCleaner. OFF,ON,OFF. or ON,OFF,ON. This includes Registry cleaning options and all options in the Options feature. You do not "toggle" anything in the Tools feature.
"Toggle" the Options > Advanced > Save all settings to INI file last and always leave that option Checked(turned on).
Now EXIT CCleaner.
Now look in the (cc)leaner.ini file at C:\Program Files\CCleaner folder and you should find a nice sorted list of all your CCleaning settings including "Cookies to Keep",Include data, and Exclude data.
Copy this (cc)leaner.ini file to My Documents or anywhere other than your CCleaner folder.You can create "special cleaning" (cc)leaner.ini files and also save them.
All you have to do is copy the saved (cc)leaner.ini file into the CCleaner folder to run any cleaning job. You can also keep a "special" (cc)leaner.ini file for your daughter.
If you get the Registry messed up or uninstall CCleaner for some reason,you will still have all your settings saved in My Documents or other safe place to be used later.
You want to do the above step every so often so you will have an up-to-date and sorted (cc)leaner.ini file .
You can create backup (cc)leaner.ini file for each user. Even a "special" one to clean out the Guest user's areas.
2. Don't do this until you have done step #1. Else your daughters settings may interfere with yours and vice versa.
Then do this.
