I have CCleaner installed on the administrator account and want to use it on the other accounts on my computer. How do I do this? Do I have to install CCleaner on each account individually or can I get access to the installed one via the other accounts?

Thanks for advice.

Thanks for your reply. I clicked on the link but unfortunately this is much too technical for me and ours is a home computer.

Thanks again.

Hi earthlover, the easiest way is to go to "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs", where you'll find the CCleaner Start Menu Folder.

Highlight the folder and in the left pane select "Copy This Folder", and then navigate to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs", and select "Copy".

That should make the Start Menu shortcut available to "All Users". If perchance you don't get the correct StartMenu Folder icon after copying, you can rectify this by right clicking the folder and selecting "Properties\Customize Tab\Change Icon".

Then select a "Start Menu" type folder icon and press OK and OK again.
