Currently CCleaner is (automatically) started after I login into my account.
Is it possible to setup CCleaner so that it is automatically started after boot but BEFORE Login?
In other words it should already run when the Logon (welcome) screen appears on the desktop screen but I do not login.

What would you hope to achieve by doing this?
How would CCleaner know which was your account profile that should be cleaned before you have logged in ?
The only way I know of to use CCleaner outside of a Windows profile and Windows itself is via a BartPE boot CD, but you'd probably have to be extra careful using it like that.
ccleaner depends on a user being logged on. What you ask is not possible, at least not in the non-business line of ccleaner
@hazelnut I could imagine him wanting to use ccleaner to clean protected files which would normally be locked by windows after logon.
@thoste to answer your question... not really.. at least not easily..
The only other way I could think of other than BartPE would be using the "SYSTEM" account. The system account loads before logon and runs the logon script it is not normally accessable but there are ways of *hacking your way in* if you add a regestry key to the HKCU / Run of the system account to start ccleaner and if you run the professonal version which can clean all user profiles it "might" work.
I have never tried this and have no idea if it would work.
I might play with this later as it could prove interesting. which brings up the interesting question of does ccleaner clear the system acount profile ?
