CCEnhancer adds more power to CCleaner! This portable freeware for Windows adds over 1000 new programs, and therefore more cleaning options, to the existing options in CCleaner.
CCEnhancer review
CCleaner is probably the most popular junk file and registry cleaner software for Windows. It is safe, quick yet effective. CCEnhancer goes a step further and adds several more cleaning options to it.
To use this tool, you will have to first download it to your computer. It is a small portable tool. Once downloaded, click on it to run it. The actual file containing the definitions is not included with the program but is instead downloaded by the program. Press Download Latest, and the tool will automatically download the most recent version of the definitions.
CCEnhancer uses the WinApp2.ini system built into CCleaner to add new rules and definitions for programs.
Its Settings offers a few more options. Like you can set the program to check for new definitions every time Windows starts, run CCleaner silently once the definitions are updated or trim the definition file to improve performance. I found that after adding all the definitions, CCleaner does take a little extra time to initialize.
If CCEnhancer cannot locate the CCleaner.exe file, you can open a dialog box and select the page yourself. If you have installed CCleaner, CCEnhancer will find the path automatically. But if you are using the CCleaner Portable version, then, you will have to click on Functions and then Add Portable Location. Browse to the CCleaner portable folder and select it.
Once the work is done, you will see several new programs and cleaning options visible under Cleaner > Applications.
Choose the options and set them carefully after going through each of them, as CCleaner with CCEnhancer is quite aggressive in its cleaning function.
You can download CCEnhancer from its home page. CCEnhancer works perfectly with CCleaner on Windows 11/10/8.1/7.
Any one uses CCEnhancer to add more cleaning options to CCleaner? Your experience?
CCEnhancer does not come to you from Piriform, the developers of CCleaner. It comes to you from the developers of System Ninja and JavaRa.
Why is CCleaner so good?
CCleaner comes with various options that users may not know about, but they need those essentially. For example, you can delete software leftovers, system cache, thumbnails cache, etc. Whether you need to clean your system, remove junk files, or optimize the overall performance, you can use CCleaner. All these features make CCleaner so good.
What can I clean with CCleaner?
You can clean your entire system with the help of CCleaner. That said, you can remove junk files, system cache, temporary files, etc. The best thing is that you can uninstall software and remove all the leftovers from your system. Apart from that, you can clear the browser cache, cookies, browsing history, etc., using CCleaner.
Hope this app worked for you.
I use Win 7 Home Premium. Am I right in assuming there is no need for me to upgrade from 4 to 5 — given most or all of the changes probably pertain to the now current Win 8??
The new version includes improvements too, so you may want to upgrade:
– Slightly flattened, more colorful user interface
– Now using bigger and more legible fonts
– Updated Brazilian Portuguese and German localizations
– Fixed issue preventing Custom Entries from being removable
– Can now automatically trim the winapp2.ini file after downloading (beta).
I see. Thanks, Anand.
I have used CCEnhancer more than once and have noticed every time I use it that it affects the performance of CCleaner and on more than one occasion has crashed CCleaner. It’s a good idea but they really need to find a way for it to not impact the performance of CCleaner. Better yet Piriform could just add everything that CCEnhancer does right into CCleaner.
The ‘Trim’ option removed the entries irrelevant to your system, thereby reducing the performance impact.
The ‘Trim’ option removes the entries irrelevant to your system, which means CCleaner doesn’t have to load all 1,100+ new entries.
I am very happy to have discovered this add-on. I can’t get over how much junk it found and was able to remove. The only thing I noticed is that CCleaner does take longer to launch, but considering that my two (Windows 7) computers are now running at warp speed, it’s worth it. Many thanks to the authors of the add-on and to this site for telling me about it.
I added cc enhancer and it does show many more options to check in the application but I have no idea what much of those things are . . .
