Hi, first I have to say that I'm a very happy CCleaner user. This program makes my life easier!!

So, to have to make even easier, I'd like to ask you to:
- implement more switches to the command line usage, something like /SecureDeleteMethod 1 /SecureDeleteType 1 etc, so the parameters entered by the user at the command prompt would overide, for that session, the configs stored in CCleaner.INI.

Also, it would be a nice thing to have the registry cleaner operate via command line as well. But I guess that's already en route, since you put "currently" in the documentation. :)

Thanks for your attention!

Very, very, very, very, very, very bad idea. One error is enough to destroy your system.
A Registry Cleaner should never be used if you don't know exactly what keys it will delete. :)

Come on, you think I didn't think about that? :) As any command line utility, they're for advanced users only. Besides, I always had CCleaner clean all errors, and haven't had a single issue in all those years using it.
If the problem is that you can accidentaly delete undesired stuff, let the application run entirely on command line, not calling the main program GUI; after done, it will display a list of errors found. For each one, there could be that classic: "delete? Yes/No/All/No to all". What's the big deal? :)

It's been debated to death here many many times, it ain't gonna happen ;)

Sorry, I was unaware about the past discussions. I couldn't possibly know.
I only based myself in the "currently" word.
