CCleaner to support Google Chrome Registry "UserDataDir"

[Jay Anderson]

In the normal Windows Google Chrome install, the default User Data is located under

<users-local-data>\Google\Chrome\User Data\.

However, this location can be changed by the Chrome Registry entry

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\UserDataDir=...new location...

 

It appears that CCleaner does not honor this change of location for the Default directory.

The result is that CCleaning is not done for Chrome user data that has been moved to another location.

 

What should happen is:

CCleaner should first look in the Registry for Chrome key UserDataDir;

If not exist, assume the Chrome data is located under the user's local data;

ccleaner already provides a work about with custom locations for Mozilla and Chromium based browsers

 

sAys Mozilla but chrome works too
