PiriFan Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 In the changelog for the latest version it states: v3.19.1721 (24 May 2012) - Added option to skip User Account Control (UAC) warning. I do not see this option and when I click on the CCleaner I still get the Windows 7 popup to open program. Please let me know if I understand this correctly or if there is an option to select to disable the Windows 7 warning when I open CCleaner. Thanks.

nikki605 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yes, it's there. Click on Options, then Advanced and use the scroll bar to get to the bottom of the list of options. It is the next to the last option check box. However, on my Win7 laptop, I still get the UAC warning with the new option checked.

PiriFan Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hmm I do not have that option and I have the latest CCleaner free version. You must have a small resolution if you need scrollbars, I can see the whole program without scrollbars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwillener Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 It's the 2nd option from the bottom: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiriFan Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 how the heck did I miss that when it is right in my face? lol thanks for the screenshot. This feature works too! I wish all programs would offer that option since m$ won't EDIT Oh wait this effects all programs? Hmm, is it possible to make it only limit that option for CCleaner or maybe a more advanced feature to display a list to select which programs skip UAC warning?

Koolch Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 this otion to skip uac (a very welcomed feature) works great on my 2008r2 desktop, but not at all on my w7 x64 desktop. I have dual boot pc. Anyone know what I am missing in w7 machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Perhaps skip uac is defective on 64 bits. Does anyone know different ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted June 15, 2012 Moderators Share Posted June 15, 2012 I believe that is the case but couldn't find the post that I read that said that 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.

aittersu Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 This option to skip User Account Control message is great. However, I have one question: I thought this option would be saved in the ccleaner.ini-file, but this is not the case. Can anyone tell me where this setting is stored?

Alan_B Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Probably stored by UAC in Windows because UAC is not Portable. Post #5 above observes :- Oh wait this effects all programs? Hmm, is it possible to make it only limit that option for CCleaner or maybe a more advanced feature to display a list to select which programs skip UAC warning? There is no way that a non-Piriform program would benefit from a CCleaner.ini setting, so I guess UAC itself has been "tamed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aittersu Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I found out already, it is done by a scheduled task, when "skip User Account Control message" is activated within ccleaner, a scheduled task is created. When i turn off "skip User Account Control message", the scheduled task is also gone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studio_two Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 dosser you have a topic you need to not post the same issue in somebody else's thread. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=36106 Hi Nergal. Unfortunately, that thread contains a link to re-direct back to this one. I'm up to v503 (latest) and still can't get the "Skip UAC" facility to work on some machines. They are all windows 7 - but some are 32 bit and some are 64 bit. I have to say that I can't really see any pattern to this. Mostly, it works fine in my experience. To make matters worse, if I do input UAC Admin credentials for a non-admin user ccleaner proceeds to clear the internet cache of the admin user (rather than the user that is physically logged into the machine). If anyone can provide a little insight. I would be most grateful. Kind Regards, Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
