Hello there...

I've been trying to use Disk Cleanup since last month and
for some reasson is not working on my C: HD, it does work
on other HD's tho.
Lastime i try to use it i waited 26 hrs and there was
nothing done... i just see the furst screen where it says
its searching.. but thats about it.

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Hi,
Try the following web sites: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm,
scroll down to Line #48. In the right-hand window, click on "Disk Cleanup -
Compress Old Files Freezes" Simply click on Kelly's fix, download the
registry fix, then run it

I am having the same problem too and hope you find an
answer. The Microsoft Windows KB has a solution but it
involves editing the register which sounds very scary and
I'd rather not do that if there's another way .. .
