Instead of manually unchecking all five Install Options, can we please have UNCHECK ALL in the lower right corner of the install window?
I always keep the desktop icon so wouldn't use that option.
Some folk may I guess.
I to always retain / use desktop icons, however a "uncheck all" option would be handy for some people in a hurry to complete the install. I for one read all that's on the screen during an install, just in case (Murphy's out there somewhere)

1. It's easier to uncheck all > check that one option.
2. People would use uncheck all if they have a custom icon for CCleaner.
3. C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /AUTO is my desktop link, not the link to the program options which I set once.

Good question well asked, at my age I am never in a hurry. well that's what everyone around me says.
i agree there should be an UNCHECK ALL box

i take life as it comes. If ccleaner wants 5seconds of my life. so be it for a great app.
Giving us UNCHECK ALL would make it greater. I hope the author considers it.

do you not use any of them options then and always uncheck all???
1. People who do not allow applications to access the internet for security reasons manually *update*.
2. When they do, they UNCHECK ALL because all options are already there from the previous version they are updating. THey are *not* installing, just updating.
This is why UNCHECK ALL is essential.

A generalisation. "People who do not allow applications to access the internet for security reasons" may do many things, one of which is allow trusted applications to check for updates. Other people may not.

Different installers behave differently. Do this with some installers on update and they'll remove unchecked items; for example, they'll remove your Start Menu short cut.

If you can do it manually, easily and quickly, then it's 'nice to have' or at most 'very desirable' - but certainly not essential.
FWIW I'd rather just see a sensible set of default checks - I don't think that to have all options checked by default in CCleaner is desirable either. But at the end of the day the whole idea of a set of options is that you pick those that suit you.
Short and simple, and without need of any additional button, why don't leave all the options unchecked by default, instead to have all them checked by default? The Install Options says "Select any additional option", not "Deselect any additional option you do not want install"
The author is correct with his default approach, we're not trying to change that; uncheck all button would solve the problem.

If it was added id imagine it being a check all chkbox at the top
I agree, I am routinely annoyed by having to uncheck 5 checkboxes.
But it isn't just 5. Every time I do an install for someone who doesn't have 5, it keeps adding up. 5, then 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, new ccleaner update, 5 more, etc.
Seems to be no end to the clicks! I would be glad for the 1 box unchecks it all.
I know what he is saying!
then dont install it, really annoys me people going on about because there suggestion was not added
the devs read the forums, if it is it is, if not get over it
would this 30 seconds of hassle tear you away from a computer is not reality
I have to agree with ident.
What I would actually like is a one-click-install with installer settings saved from the previous installation. That possible?

I agree with both of you. Save the installer settings.
Additionally, a deselect all checkmark box would be nice!
