Despite what you say I am unable to see this as an "easy" way to clean
up other profiles. It's odd to me that CrapCleaner does not provide
this option within its configuration.

Bulls. It deletes and writes the result to log (if you choose to). It
does not allow you to deselect specific entries.

Wrong! It asks repeatedly after a certain number of uses.

Of all the cleaners I have installed, I find I use ATF-Cleaner ( Does
All Users ) CCleaner & Vit Registry Fix ( Sometimes ask's to rerun 3
times ) the most.

I'm not CCleaner's greatest fan but it's useful once it gets tamed.

CCleaner moved from being a crud cleaner to a security eraser. It used
to clear out junk (and didn't need a friendly interface) but now it
clears out real data.

I want to remove temp files, recycle bin and tracking cookies but I
don't need to erase all traces of user data. I want to keep those
download locations, logs, MRU files, list of recent docs, etc.
