godawgs Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 When CCleaner is installed, should it have put a program shortcut in the Programs Menu for all users along with the shortcut it put in the Programs Menu for the user who installed it?

Jamin4u Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 CCleaner will only clean the user account that it's run on. It will not clean all users simultaneously. When installed, CCleaner will add a desktop shortcut and a start menu shortcut for the current profile only. Copy the CCleaner desktop shortcut and paste it in the following folders. To place a shortcut on the desktop of all users... XP: Documents and Settings/All Users/Desktop Vista: Users/Public/Public Desktop (Hidden Folders) To place a shortcut in the start menu (All Programs) of all users... XP: Documents and Settings/All Users/Start Menu Vista: Program Data/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs (Hidden Folders) Online Documentation...CCleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats providing you want the same settings for all users. Just tick Save all settings to INI file in Options\Advanced then everyone will use the same settings.
