Save CCleaner settings

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hi,

At the outset letme say that CCleaner is a wonderful utility!

Is there a way to save all settings - custom folders, cleaning options, cookie lists - such that these can be re-applied back in case of having to re-install the OS?In this case Windows XP Pro SP3.

Regards and TIA.

1. Start CCleaner.

2. Click Options->Advanced.

3. Tick this box: Save all settings to INI file

4. Close CCleaner.

5. Open: C:\Program Files\CCleaner

6. Copy CCleaner.ini to another medium or ZIP or whatever off your C: drive to have a good backup copy. Remember to update your backup should you change your CCleaner settings.

If you need a batch file to re-install CCleaner.ini from the backup here's mine (copy+paste into Notepad, then save as "CCleaner INI Installer.bat" with the quotes then place it with your backup copy of CCleaner.ini):

@echo off
echo.
attrib -r +a "%programfiles%\CCleaner\ccleaner.ini"
xcopy /v /y "ccleaner.ini" "%programfiles%\CCleaner"
echo.
echo.
dir "%programfiles%\CCleaner\*.ini"
echo.
echo.
pause
cls
exit
