thoste Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Currently CCleaner is (automatically) started after I login into my account. Is it possible to setup CCleaner so that it is automatically started after boot but BEFORE Login? In other words it should already run when the Logon (welcome) screen appears on the desktop screen but I do not login. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_B Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 How would CCleaner know which was your account profile that should be cleaned before you have logged in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted June 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 5, 2013 The only way I know of to use CCleaner outside of a Windows profile and Windows itself is via a BartPE boot CD, but you'd probably have to be extra careful using it like that.

Moderators Nergal Posted June 5, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 5, 2013 ccleaner depends on a user being logged on. What you ask is not possible, at least not in the non-business line of ccleaner 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.

KapnJackSparrow Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 @hazelnut I could imagine him wanting to use ccleaner to clean protected files which would normally be locked by windows after logon. @thoste to answer your question... not really.. at least not easily.. The only other way I could think of other than BartPE would be using the "SYSTEM" account. The system account loads before logon and runs the logon script it is not normally accessable but there are ways of *hacking your way in* if you add a regestry key to the HKCU / Run of the system account to start ccleaner and if you run the professonal version which can clean all user profiles it "might" work. I have never tried this and have no idea if it would work. I might play with this later as it could prove interesting. which brings up the interesting question of does ccleaner clear the system acount profile ?
