Just run the ccleaner.exe. CCleaner 2.0 is now natively portable so you don't need portable.exe anymore.

I clicked on the cccleaner.exe that was in my external drive (E:\) but it seems like it is running on my C:\ drive instead of my E:\ drive. It doesnt Clean the files in the RECYCLER folder in my E:\ drive

yes by default ccleaner will only clean the system drive

but if you go to options>include

add a file and choose any file in the e:\drive's recycle bin and select ok

next right click the entry and choose manually edit entry

where the file name (e.g. bob.txt) is replace it with *.*

Hope that helps :)

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.
