I need a hot key--not to open the C Cleaner App, just to run it silently. useful for whilst browsing from time to time-I like the context on the R Bin, but whilst windows are open, can't see the R Bin
I don't want to re-boot and it won't be convenient to use Task Scheduler.
For example;- I hit the Hot Key-CCleaner runs immediately in the background as and when I want it to. Is this possible please? Which path to use? Thanks for excellent Program too. Ian ( Island of Malta)
Make a shortcut to CCleaner [and put it anywhere on your system you want, or even right-click-properties-General-hidden checkmark] that contains the /auto switch (or not) and then on the Shortcut tab, change the Shortcut key to something. I hit control+c which made the shortcut key alt+control+c, which works here
Why doesn't this work for me? If I try to run from a BAT or CMD file, a DOS window opens very briefly, but nothing more happens. If I run it from START/RUN, nothing at all happens.

If you want to see it run and then terminate, have a process viewer open when you hit the hot-key..
(the best free one has been at sysinternals.com for the last 7-years now - and it's constantly updated to perfection - like CCleaner )

Side note: Process Explorer (viewer above) can be set to substitute for the crappy windows task-manager too. It can launch files (eg services.msc, cmd, etc..). I've found that in severe cases, both explorer and iexplorer must be halted to catch and delete malware, bho's, and other recursive virus activity). It's the only process manager that M$ teaches you to use on their own site.. (Authors Solomon and Russinovich write a lot of Windows Internals books)
Basically, it substitutes as your system shell, when explorer is out-to-lunch - Cheers!
