How to disable drives you DON'T want ccleaner to clean?

CCleaner will not try to clean drives other than C:\ unless :-

You specifically INCLUDE their contents for cleaning ;

OR

Valid items to be cleaned APPEAR to be held on C:\ but are actually routed through Reparse Points or possibly Windows Libraries to other drives.

 

So far as CCleaner is concerned it will clean my installed version of the Palemoon browser caches,

and it is blissfully unaware of the reparse point which has relocated the cache to drive E:\.

I doubt that Exclude E:\ work protect the cache if Windows is telling CCleaner that the cache is in the default C:\ drive.

 

I suggest that klxdrt should use CCleaner Analyze to determine if it will attempt to clean something which he really knows is on a drive he wishes to protect.
