I'm not to familiar with computer security and such so please be patient with me. I need to figure out how to clean other accounts on my computer. I have the administrator account with the CCleaner on it and I run it every day, but the other two accounts are building up crap and slowing the computer down. Can anyone help me out?
Thx

Run it from their accounts...it shouldn't be that hard. It should have installed.

For some reason it didn't load onto all users, just my account. I don't understand what happened, but I do not have access to CCleaner from all accounts...

If those accounts have nothing important on them Delete them then run CCleaner then run Defraggler and then re creat those acounts

Beckyj,
My home pc has 3 user accounts, mine is the administrator. I loaded CCleaner from my account, but had to manually put the CCleaner shortcut icon on my desktop by going to Windows Explorer (again, from my account), then Program Files. I clicked on the CCleaner folder. The CCleaner icon appeared and I right-clicked on it to send it to my desktop.
I repeated the above process, while logged into each of the other 2 user accounts, to add the the CCleaner shortcut icon to each of those two desktops as well. From reading some of the other threads, it doesn't look like there's a way to run CCleaner for all multiple accounts at one time. So, I figured the next best thing would be just to run it individually from each account. Seems to work fine.
