Ultimate Portable C-Cleaning

[Super Fast]

Portable CCleaners usually have a few problems:

 

Use .bat files (annoying)

Must detect installed CCleaner before running (inaccurate on non default directories)

Breaks an existing CCleaner installation (inconvenient & time consuming)

 

Using 4 programs, we can fix these 3 major problems & others not listed also.

______________________________(CCleaner)______________________________

 

Download & install freeware CCleaner. http://www.CCleaner.com/

 

Under options & advanced, check hide warning messages & save all settings to ini file

Close CCleaner & create a copy on the desktop.

 

Delete uninst.exe from the desktop copy of CCleaner

_____________________________(stubbieman)_____________________________

 

Download & install freeware stubbieman sfx. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/stubbie.html

 

Uncheck delete unpack folder..., prompt for unpack folder..., & prompt user before overwriting... on project settings tab

For target, browse to your desktop & save as Reg.exe

For default unpack folder, choose <TEMP> from the drop down list

 

Enter these commands 1 by 1 under the Run Last tab using ctrl + c to copy & ctrl +v to paste

__________________________(Why do it this way?)_________________________

 

How does this solve my problems?

 

1- CCleaner & Reg.exe are extracted to a temp dir. Reg.exe replaces a .bat file & registers CCleaner.

2- CCleaner is then run, after which any installed CCleaner is "broken" after you close CCleaner.

3- No check is needed. Extract.exe copies 8 ocx & dll files to common files folder along with Reg.exe & re-registers them when closing CCleaner.

 

Any CCleaner that is installed on the pc will now work. Be sure to use a registered rar version so "made with trial version" doesn't appear.

Think I'd rather just wait for CCleaner 2. Fair play to you though for putting all that work in
