If you use Crap Cleaner (CCleaner) to help keep your Windows installation tidy, a useful trick to know is it offers the ability to run automatically via a scheduled task. To do this, you simply need to take advantage of the built in command line parameters (the /AUTO switch is what you want).

For example, to have CCleaner run using your saved preferences, just set up a Windows Scheduled Task using the following command:

“C:\Program Files\Crap Cleaner\CCleaner.exe” /AUTO

Of course, this assumes you installed the program to’ C:\Program Files\Crap Cleaner’.

One important note:

When you run CCleaner.exe using the /AUTO parameter, CCleaner does not run the Registry cleaner. You cannot currently run the Registry cleaner through a command-line parameter.
