johnnyq Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi, ccleaner is great app but i'd like to install it on computers in school and I don't want anybody else to run especially students. It would be great if ccleaner had option to set password, so it could be run only if correct password is entered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And today's award for bravery goes to ... johhnyq there are various ways you coud hide it, or maybe change permissions on the exe ... depending on various factors like the OS and how clever the students are! Though if they are capable of doing damage with ccleaner I would have thought that would have be the least of your worries - what problems do you envisage by them having ccleaner access?
