I have a few quibbles about Portable C-Cleaning.

- If you use the portable C-Cleaner app, it works fine, but can break an existing CCleaner install due to, the registering of a few components, such as subtimer.dll etc.

- I can use winrar to SFX C-Cleaner & auto remove the file when I am done. This fixes having to see that window each time when you use a .bat file to register & unregister components. But I still have the problem that I may break an existing install of C-Cleaner.

- Hopefully, besides multi-user cleaning, C-Cleaner 2 could also allow multiple startup selects with shift & ctrl key & shortcut keys like del to delete them faster than 1 by 1 like it does now.
- Maybe there can be a BHO cleaner & hosts file cleaner.
- Maybe C-Cleaner 2 will save all settings in an .ini file instead of using the registry + not have components that need registering/unregistering so that if someone has another version of C-Cleaner already installed, you won't break their install by using a portable C-Cleaner.

Portable won't let you run it by default, if you have CCleaner installed. Yes, it can break your install.

Are you using CCleaner Portable 1.3? There shouldn't be a bat file windows anymore...

CCleaner 2 will not require components or write to the registry. You will see more next month about it.

Request that this thread be deleted, since newer CCleaner versions already use .ini to save settings.

Thank you!

Two resurrected 4+ years old topics in a row with you requesting them be deleted.
