Installed CCleaner on an external USB Hard Drive and the problem that I am having is that when I install it on the external USB Hard Drive it also installs itself on the Host Computer C: Drive as well and in the registry quite extensively so that if I uninstall it, I have to go through and search and destroy or remove as it were.
Is there a setting or version that will only install itself on to the external USB Hard Drive and not the Host Computer C: Drive and will still completely clean/wipe the external hard drive?
Thank you.

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.
