How do you load CCleaner onto an external hard drive? I am using it with great success on the main drive but also want to use it on the external where I keep a copy of everything thats on my main drive. Help appreciated.

Is there actually anything on the external hard drive that CCleaner could clean?

CCleaner does not defragment files.
It would clean drive C: but from the thumbdrive, & without install.

CCleaner Portable
Is this what he is looking for? You can run it from a USB drive, but only if the main PC doesn't have it installed already.

Hi all, or you could use this batch file that I made a while ago 
- the cool part is that it will 'auto-detect' if CCleaner is already installed on the 'Target' PC and if it is then simply run it. However, if it does not find a previous installation it then installs it in the background, runs then uninstalls itself without any user interaction 
Simply update the paths as required to where your .exe is located on your USB pen drive etc...
Hope this helps
