.ini file manipulation

CCleaner for Windows
1

I use the Include Specific Folders option in CCleaner to wipe out the contents of the Temp folders in user profiles.

I'd like to be able to use the %USERPROFILE% variable to avoid having to manually browse to the C:\Users\[uSER]\AppData\Local\Temp path every time I set up CCleaner.

I'm not able to get it to work manually editing the .ini file.

I've tried %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp path, but CCleaner doesn't detect any data in this location, though it exists.

Works fine when I browse for the path through the GUI.

Anyone had any luck with editing the .ini file for this?

works :)

great job, thanks!

probably time I start looking at the purchase options for this app.

it's been a mainstay in my maintenance arsenal for some time now; definitely proven its worth, that's for sure.

thanks for the info and for the quick response.

There is no purchase option.

The only "Pay" thing would be priority support (bypass the forum email directly with developers) or Donation (Tell the Developers you appriciate them)
