Find where CClean was installed, most likely in C:\Program Files\CCleaner\, and drag CCleaner.exe with right mouse button to your desktop and then say "Create Shortcut here".
I cannot make that work for my DD
1. When I drag to the desktop, I cannot see anywhere to type "Create Shortcut here", nor do I see any such option to click.
2. Having dragged to the desktop, upon release the executable is relocated to the desktop,
UNLESS I hold down the ALT key whilst releasing.
3. Drag then ALT and release is inadequate.
Having dropped I see the icon on the desktop, MY PRIVATE DESKTOP.
Right Click on icon and select properties.
This opens on the Shortcut Tab
Select the "General" tab and I see
Location: C:\Documents and Settings\Dad\Desktop
My DD has no access to my private desktop, so it does her no good at all.
SOLUTION for XP Home edition with SP3
One instance of Explorer which shows Ccleaner.exe
Second instance of Explorer set to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop"
Select CCleaner and with LEFT button down, shift until over the second instance, then hold down ALT button before and during release of left button.
This gives both DD and myself the same short cut upon "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop"
NOTES
1. Windows restricts Ccleaner on what can be purged by a USER c.f. an Administrator - how I like it.
2. Even that is a bit strong for my taste, so we both share a desktop shortcut that uses /AUTO /SHUTDOWN,
hence DD cannot mistakenly clean the registry etc - she gets no GUI.
Double clicking the icon is easier than the normal Start / Turn Off / standby or shut-down etc.
and because DD shuts down this way she has purged her private profile junk to which I have no access,
so I only have to purge what remains accessible to me and my Acronis Disc image will NOT have any junk bloat.
The only targets for the default configuration are :-
within the user profile - e.g. Firefox cache etc, and
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download,
because I fear BSODs from unexpected M.$. updates are a bigger risks than any virus ! !
(Yes I have turned off Security Updates - but that is merely a flag that is no obstacle to what M.$ decides I will have.)
