Rev 2

administrator vs. standard account
I come back to the old discussion https://portableapps.com/news/2017-12-30-ccportable-5.38.6357-released concerning a switch between administrator and standard account.
After installing 5.43, when I run ccPortable.exe from my standard account there is a pop-up which asks me for administrator rights and after the admin password it cleans the files, registry, ... of my admin account but not of my standard account.
But if I click directly on App/CCleaner/CCleaner.exe, there is no pop-up and I can clean the files, registry, ... of my standard account.
Why is ccPortable.exe asking for admin rights, can the question / pop-up be omitted ?
There is even no need to ask for a switch, because you can choose admin rights by right-clicking in the PortableApps menue.
Thanks in advance for your excellent work
Would Require More Logic
Handling this would require more logic than is built into the PA.c Launcher at the moment. If you're running on an admin account (as you will likely be on a PC you own), CCleaner will ask for admin rights and if you say No will exit out. If you're running on a standard account (as you will likely be on a school or work PC), CCleaner will just start. If we made admin rights optional in the launcher, it would ask yes or no on every launch regardless of account type. On standard, you could say no and it would work in standard mode or yes and it would work in admin mode. On admin, you could say no to the launcher but then CCleaner itself would ask. If you then said yes, it would run in a not properly portable mode. We'd need to specifically trap for that situation which will require additional logic. At present, I have no time to write, test, release, and support such logic.
If you'd like to discuss this further, please do so in a forum topic, not as comments on a news story so others can see and participate.
