An option to quickly import and export CC's settings from the registry into a file such as "CCleaner Settings.reg"
Complexity of incoherent design.

Better yet, write to an INI file. Let CCleaner read and write to an INI instead of the registry. :P

That way you can have a much easier Portable CCleaner and track settings much more efficiently.

After all, CCleaner has the winapp.ini files and other files in the directory. Why not one more INI? :D

You may export any registry setting with regedit and the flag "/e". To export CCleaner settings you could create a bat file with following content; in this example the settings are saved in the file
C:\My Documents\ccleaner-backup.reg:

regedit /e "C:\My Documents\ccleaner-backup.reg" "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\CCleaner"

But I aggree with Tarun: having all settings saved in a ini file would be great.
