I'm a LONG time CCleaner fan and user. Recently added 2 laptops to the family running Vista OS. UAC is frustrating to say the least in the sense that it doesn't recognize CCleaner as a legitimate, worthy and worthwhile program! It forces "permission" every time whether AutoRun is used on Start-up OR Shut-down. (The two new laptop users aren't interested in cleaning)
HELP! Is there a convenient way or ANY way to elevate CCleaner's status. A workaround? I searched through the forum but, didn't see anything I understood.
Thank you! (I'm an "intermediate" user but, have been into the Task Manager and am used to right click menus. I am logged on as Administrator, still UAC interferes.... etc. etc.)
Administrator does not equal UAC/Admin privilages. There's not much you can/should do about UAC/ccleaner. I DO NOT EVER recommend turning UAC off (even if you were an advanced user with 40 years of programming experience I would not suggest to you to turn it off)

Thanks Nergal. I won't turn off UAC but, I DO think CCleaner DESERVES immunity. Some antispyware loads and runs just fine. I'll just clean the 2 laptops in question myself, manually. Thank you for reading my post.

the Antispy/virus programs run as System but, ccleaner need to run as a user as to clean the users files
