Cleaning other drives

[BenHer]

So...you want to clean a user's PC. They've got a virus, for example, and you want to get rid of all temp files before you scan for viruses with external boot.

You boot a mini-windows environment...and you want to clean the users hard drive.

 

You've booted from CD...so the windows directory is there (or in a ramdrive).

 

You want to clean the users profile and system directories on the user's normal system drive.

 

Let there be a selection of drive to use for cleanup (ie choose drive D:\ or X:\..etc.).

 

CCleaner would look in "C:\Documents and Settings" or "D:\Users", XP - Vista - Win7 default directory names for "local settings" (in multiple languages if MS changes them for Italian & German, etc)

 

Impractical to try and clean registry perhaps but certainly most directory temp file cleanup could be done.
