I've installed Opera to a non-default directory (C:/Internet/Opera):

How can I make crapcleaner recognize it ? It's not showing up now (latest CC version).

I like to keep things tidy on my harddisk. I don't like having millions of maps cluttering my C:/Program Files folder.

Umm... Thats what that folder is for. If you keep the folders organized alphabetically than it shouldnt be too hard to find what your looking for.

Start using C:\Program Files as rridgely has already suggested!

In the meantime if you don't want to uninstall Opera and lose your settings which is always a pain input this into CCleaner's winapp2.ini file if it doesn't already exist. This is for the Opera setup for single user usage, it won't support the Opera setup for multiple user profiles, it's a sloppy way to have CCleaner clean something it already would do fine with if the program was installed in the proper location:
