To remove tempation by users to tinker with CCleaner, I am considering using the portable version.
- my small business of 6 AutoCad rigs plus 3 laptops
- installing/updating CCleaner on each machine falls back onto me which I have to do after hours.
- 4 of the rigs are stand alone and we do not have a network (very nervously considering NAS for the past 12 months)
PC's and laptops are a variety of Win7 32bit/64bit ... AND... Win-XP 32bit
- all XP machines are to be upgraded (clean installed) to Win-7 ... when I get some time
Does CCleaner Portable write to the registry ?
If CCleaner is started by a script will "Run as Administrator" be applied to the CCleaner process. ?
- I have a collection of portable PC tools on a thumb-drive that I can use on various PCs.
- Scripts determine the bit-type and where bit-type is crucial the correct bit-version is run
- I assume CCleaner Portable is ambidextrous? Handling 32bit and 64bit ?
My major concern is "Run as Administrator"
- logging on as admin is an obvious solution,
- But admin account is rather sparten for access to user-account programs and applications. (eg, Browser bookmarks)
Do I have to right-click CCleaner.exe to run as admin (in user accounts) ?
- or will running the script-file as administrator, translate into running CCleaner.exe as administrator. ?
The only other solution is to install CCleaner in a hidden folder, but my troops are rather nosey and clever.
After-hours updates/upgrades are getting quite demanding of my time.
I have not downloaded Portable CCleaner yet.
Would appreciate any advice
