msgvb Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I use the Include Specific Folders option in CCleaner to wipe out the contents of the Temp folders in user profiles. I'd like to be able to use the %USERPROFILE% variable to avoid having to manually browse to the C:\Users\[uSER]\AppData\Local\Temp path every time I set up CCleaner. I'm not able to get it to work manually editing the .ini file. I've tried %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp path, but CCleaner doesn't detect any data in this location, though it exists. Works fine when I browse for the path through the GUI. Anyone had any luck with editing the .ini file for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the procedure Create a custom entry (i.e. c:\users\msgvb\desktop\temploadpoint) click OK right click the entry and choose "Manual Edit" Replace c:\users\msgvb\ with %userprofile% Click ok in my testing this worked fine 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.

Moderators Nergal Posted March 10, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2011 There is no purchase option. The only "Pay" thing would be priority support (bypass the forum email directly with developers) or Donation (Tell the Developers you appriciate them) 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.
