RegularGuy Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'm a LONG time CCleaner fan and user. Recently added 2 laptops to the family running Vista OS. UAC is frustrating to say the least in the sense that it doesn't recognize CCleaner as a legitimate, worthy and worthwhile program! It forces "permission" every time whether AutoRun is used on Start-up OR Shut-down. (The two new laptop users aren't interested in cleaning) HELP! Is there a convenient way or ANY way to elevate CCleaner's status. A workaround? I searched through the forum but, didn't see anything I understood. Thank you! (I'm an "intermediate" user but, have been into the Task Manager and am used to right click menus. I am logged on as Administrator, still UAC interferes.... etc. etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted April 9, 2010 Moderators Share Posted April 9, 2010 Administrator does not equal UAC/Admin privilages. There's not much you can/should do about UAC/ccleaner. I DO NOT EVER recommend turning UAC off (even if you were an advanced user with 40 years of programming experience I would not suggest to you to turn it off) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

I won't turn off UAC but, I DO think CCleaner DESERVES immunity. Some antispyware loads and runs just fine. I'll just clean the 2 laptops in question myself, manually. Thank you for reading my post.

Thank you for reading my post. the Antispy/virus programs run as System but, ccleaner need to run as a user as to clean the users files (and welcome to forum ) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
