mgpmul Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I have several users (kids!) defined on one Windows computer. As a user with administrative rights, I'd like to be able to run CCleaner for all users at once. At this moment (using version v3.20.1750), I need to switch to all users, one by one, and run CCleaner for each of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Fast Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Nergal, that's interesting! Are there any limitations to what kinds of accounts it will clean? _____ Example: Password protected, all users, default, default user, public, guest, or network accounts? I'm interested because when you create normal user accounts, Windows creates all users/default/default user/public, & even guest & network accounts on some. Additionally, does it clean limited accounts? (Sorry for all the questions, just want to get a feel for what is cleaned.) _____ * I am interested for multiple reasons. Rootkits use hidden default user accounts to continually download data. Being able to clean these before repairing malware will substantially cut scan times & reduce fragmentation. Of course, this would have to be offline & a user would have to be very knowledgeable about that they do, but that is no problem for me. Some rootkits download so many thousands of files on a high speed connection, that by the time I am brought the pc, it is all but impossible to fix without clearing these hidden accounts first due to having so many tens of thousands of tiny cookies, internet pages, files to scan through before repairing. Hopefully, you can help with my questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted August 5, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 5, 2012 As I'm sure you know Super, but perhaps others don't, it is a good idea to check first when you are infected to see if the virus/rootkit/malware has hidden your start menu or user documents. The place usually chosen to hide them by the nasty is in temp files so once you use ccleaner to delete the temp files your start menu/user docs etc can be gone forever.

Super Fast Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Thank you, Hazel! Yes, I know about those. Of course, thank you for posting so that others users are aware as well. I hate when I get computers that malware hides things, lol! But it is better than having malware that deleted the files! At least it makes recovery easier! * Edit: And if you, Nergal, or anyone knows which of the default users (if any) that it cleans, as well as if it cleans limited, guest, or password protected accounts, it would be really great to know! Guess I just love learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted October 29, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2012 @Roland GINEYS The above post you made in here really isn't the place to be posting such info! Some of what you're cleaning is included in the winapp2.ini file which goes so much further to clean those areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators hazelnut Posted January 5, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 5, 2015 Firstly patty please stop posting using capital letters, it is considered to be shouting on a forum Secondly, just go with the default ticks that are there when you install CCleaner. Do not use the registry part of CCleaner, this should only be used by people who know what they are doing.

Surely you can't scan other peoples stuff without their logins? Although I hope you can as this computer is so slow and needs a clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Luke Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Do you need the other users passwords and login details to scan the whole computer? Surely you can't scan other peoples stuff without their logins? Although I hope you can as this computer is so slow and needs a clean up. An account with admin. priv. can see everything on a system. Remember that Admin. can also set or change passwords, one of the reasons why Admin is Admin. So yes, surely Admin. CAN SCAN other people's stuff without their logins! No surprise there.

Lucky Luke Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 First of all allow me to say I don't know how I would maintain the various systems around the house without the very useful Piriform products. I found this topic interesting! Here is what we do: a) ALL users have been instructed to use CCleaner on their way out ... I,e. before logging off ... The CCleaner shortcut is in all Start menus. As ADMIN I use Defraggler to clean-up left behind debris from various users while logged in "master mode"... Defraggler is useful in ways other than defragging. It is a bit of an X-ray program, allowing a "master mode" user to see what all is lurking on the system. Since temporary cache files are usually written in fragments it is easy to spot them. Use the "Open Containing Folder" option under the Path that Defraggler displays after an analysis ... and have at it. Once the containing folder is spotted and open you can Delete ALL or whatever. c) I also remove files from that system that CCleaner does not tough, where warranted, using the method under Viz. I find this very useful in removing deep deleted e-mail messages, which are still hanging around even though the e-mail app. shows empty Deleted folders [ All folders for all users show in Defraggler!]. Between Ccleaner and Dfraggler we stay lean and mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
