Can an option be added that delays CCleaner operation by a user-specified number of seconds when the "Run CCleaner when the computer starts" option is enabled? Maybe a box next to the checkbox where I can enter the number of seconds as part of the configuration.

This would allow the start-up programs to load more quickly, without having to contend with the disk activity due to CCleaner's removal and scrubbing of files.

This would be a useful feature

So, it looks like this suggestion will never be implemented?

A lot of users are finding the "Auto Shutdown" feature of CCleaner preferable to having it run at startup and slow things down.

CCleaner Auto Shutdown:

I have it configured to a CCleaner Icon in my Quick Launch Bar. One click and CCleaner runs (not registry) and auto shuts down the computer. The only evidence that this is happening is a flashing CCleaner icon in the system tray.

The temp files generated on my PC when I boot up are not worth the effort.

Thanks for that comment, however, when I want to power-down my notebook, I want it to power down immediately so I can close the lid. I don't want to wait until cleaning is done.

I'd rather spend the time to clean after the boot process, which is why I posted my suggestion.
