Non-administrator users

[az0]

Two ideas

1. As user A (with admin rights), run runas /user:B bleachbit.exe --clean google_chrome.cache
2. When logged in as user B, launch BleachBit. When prompted "do you want to allow this app to make changes?", answer no. BleachBit will clean all of user B (e.g., Google Chrome cache), though not any system-wide parts (e.g., Windows logs).

Does this help?

Does this help?

Yes it does indeed, thanks.
The only thing is that bleachbit does a lot more for user B than cleaning the cache of google chrome.
Is there a way of referring to the BB configuration of user B so that it can pick them up instead of defining multiple --clean commandos?

I am glad to hear it.

Is there a way of referring to the BB configuration of user B so that it can pick them up instead of defining multiple --clean commandos?

Try this: Copy %userprofile%\appdata\bleachbit\bleachbit.ini from user A to B and then run bleachbit.exe --preset (still using runas) to use the options selected in the GUI. Does this help?

Another solution, depending on your needs, is using wildcards like --delete google_chrome.*.

I am curious: Are you putting this in a batch script? Is it running automated?

I run user A by starting BB by shortcut from desktop.
Thanks for your suggestion. So that would mean that I first have to add user B to the admin group, run BB, revert B to non admin group again and then run the command %userBprofile%\appdata\bleachbit\bleachbit.ini (repeating this every time after user B installs any BB configurable apps/programs. Correct?
