How to setup automatic ccleaner in Task Scheduler

[sILK Smitha]

I wanted to use the Task Scheduler to run CCleaner automatically everyday at 4:00am. I already know how do we run the Task Scheduler but I dont know how to add or scheduled automatic task to CCleaner.exe. So can anyone tell me how do I do this? Also after doing this will I be able to run CCleaner manually no matter whenever I want? Thanks for any information.

You can find ccleaner.exe with various method. Check to see a shortcut on your desktop or start menu and then right click on it and go to Properties. After that you will be able to see the full path including the executable or else you can also do a search for ccleaner.exe file. When you install it to its default location then you can easily find it in the C:\Program Files\CCleaner\ccleaner.exe. And to execute it in the task scheduler use the below command:

C:\Program Files\CCleaner\ccleaner.exe /auto

First of all open a Task Scheduler and then go to Action menu and then choose to create a task. Now, in the new task diaload, checkmark the box to run the task with the highest priviledges. Go to Triggers Tab and then new and then set for daily and time. Go to Actions Tab and then new and then Enter the path for CCleaner like this - "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe". Then go to Arguments box and type /Auto. You can leave Conditions and Settings tab as default. Now right click and save as zip file and then extract the xml and import it.
