So, I see the many comments that this feature has been asked and answered many times. I propose it has NOT been answered many times.
Here is a valid scenario. I have several computers at home for my family. They are all workgroup and not on a domain. I do have several accounts on each machine and I have parental controls etc. What I would like to do is setup the CCleaner to clean the computers every X hours.
Why would I want to pay for a program where I have to setup a login script on each computer usre account instead of just scheduling it to clean?
Many here warn of the un-intended side affect of me cleaning the other users. Well, the other users are my family members or my business employees and I admin the computers so I am already making all the decisions anyway. Shouldnt that be my problem with the users and not yours?
So, I ask again, why can't I have this feature? I suspect you have two types of admins for your software: The first are sysadmins using your tool in the enterprise and they will use AD to manage your software, and the other are soho and home warriors (which is where this tool began).
To date I have used the free version only and I regularly check for this feature - once this feature is added for us home warriors I will gladly pay for the tool...
Now, I am open minded to the possibility that this is a bad feature BUT if you think so, please list specifics as to why its a fatal idea in the home/soho situation -- when I say fatal, I mean the bad grossly outweighs the good...
thanks,
Patrick
Just pointing out Patrick that the ccleaner you get when you pay for it is exactly the same as the one you get when you don't pay.
The payment entitles you to support via email etc from Piriform, the ccleaner tool itself remains the same.
The devs read all suggestions and it is ultimately up to them what they supply to us home users.
Welcome to the forum by the way ![:)]()
@Hazelnut, thank you for the information. I suspected the versions were the same. I have no problem paying for the app once it has this basic feature. I suspect many users would once it crosses from being a single profile based application to a machine based application.
I was hoping others that believe this is a bad idea would give more real-world details as to why since I just cannot understand why it would not. All my other tools that keep viruses and adware off my machine are machine specific not user specific...
thanks for welcoming me aboard...
Patrick
PS - I dont see a checkbox anywhere on this posting area for me to say 'email me when someone replies' - am I missing something or is my browser throwing fits?
+1 to this, would be great if there'd be a possibility to select which users/profiles to clean.

At the upper-right corner of each topic page, on the same line as the topic title, is a button that says: "Follow this topic" A mouse-over displays the explanation as "Follow this topic and receive notifications on updates"
That should give you what you are looking for. ![:)]()
