Double Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I want to update CC portable from 5.02 to 5.08, but how do i keep my settings (ticks/cookie exclusions/etc) intact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted July 24, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2015 Just update on top of your existing CC folder with replace same-named files. The CC ini file with all your settings will remain untouched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I don't understand, how would i do that? Do i extract the contents of ccleaner508 into the ccleaner502 folder? If i have this right, Windows may ask to replace each and every file inside.. and that doesn't seem right. Couldn't I just copy the ccleaner.ini file inside the ccleaner502 main folder, and overwrite the .ini inside the ccleaner508 folder, or is that a bad idea??

Moderators Augeas Posted July 24, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yes, and that's what I used to do until I realised that just extracting on top of the old folder was far easier than faffing around with release numbers. I just have a folder called ccleaner. Windows asks once if you want to replace all the similarly named files, just say yes and then sit back.

Double Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Good idea, I may rename my folder too. So you recommend just extracting on top of the old? I suppose if anything ever did go wrong, it would be easier to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted July 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 25, 2015 There is no ccleaner.ini included in the portable ccleaner zip, your settings aren't erased from the folder when you extract the new version on top of the older one 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.

Double Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 There is no ccleaner.ini included in the portable ccleaner zip, your settings aren't erased from the folder when you extract the new version on top of the older one Unless it hasn't been used yet, that's not what I'm seeing: Also this: I decided to extract the new version, and move over the .ini from the previous version. No issues as far as i can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted July 27, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 27, 2015 Ccleanre.ini is not in the portable zip, as Nergal says. An extract on top of an existing folder will not overwrite the existing ccleaner.ini, which is the point we were trying to make. It seems as if you are trying to copy an extracted and used folder, which is why you are seeing the ini file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
