Ricky Marek Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 1) I noticed that CCleaner is installed for the curent user and not for all users. Is it possible to intall it for all users? 2) Even that other users account now have administrator rights, I get the following popup window when I run CCleaner from their account Can somebody help me?

TheFiresInTheSky Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Welcome to the forums Rucky Have you tried uninstalling it in Safe Mode then restarting and installing it in Safe Mode? It should then work on all accounts. Be sure to log in as the Administrator when going into Safe Mode. -aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KindaSilly Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Or you could just run it from your account. Right click on the short cut, and choose "run as". Enter the user name and password for the account that you want to clean, and run as normal. I too have three accounts on my machine, though only one with admin rights. This method works very well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it did that my girlfriend would be very unhappy with me as she sometimes puts things in recycle bin till she makes up her mind whether to keep or not.

Er... OK, wh can't she stick them in a folder "Decision Needed" or similar Surely safer?? OK, Temp folders and Temp Internet folders surely can be wiped??

OK, Temp folders and Temp Internet folders surely can be wiped?? They are. You'll have to read the guide on their options though. Personally, I don't want other people in control of my user profile and making the decisions as to when and what gets deleted. I would bet money that other people who have computers with multiple users feel the same way. I don't bookmark every page I go to. Should I decide to go back, I have my history files, unless someone else deleted them for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yus but if you loan out computers as a company to multiple users, and you have template acounts then it is useful to delete all their junk in one go. Its not usefull for a home user but i know quite a few admin who will like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this to be morally appropriate for any company that wishes to make a profit. Non-profit company/organization is a different story. Maybe you should inquire/suggest about a corporate version of CCleaner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugmenot Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Check out Command-line Parameters in the CCleaner Beginner's Guide. This only works as each user logs in. I want to be able to log in as administrator and Crap-Clean ALL the accounts on the computer in one pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
