When I start Disk Cleanup it will act like it is starting
but will not continue. If I check Ctrl, Alt, Delete it
states it is running. If I close the window and try to
relaunch it, it wont come up at all. If I reboot the
computer it will let me pull the window back up again but
the cycle start all over again. How do I get Disk Cleanup
to start working again.?

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and
answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by right
clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
