I need help with disc clean up. It Does not give me all the options it used
to. it only gives me the option to delete:

Downloaded Program Files
Recycle Bin
Temporary Files
WeClient/Publisher Temporary Files
Compress Old Files

to delete temporary internet files and more. PLEASE HELP!! Thank You

Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp after space
saving for compressing files should give a Window with a scroll bar to
the right. The option to include Temporary Internet Files should be in
the list there.

An alternative to Disk CleanUp is cCleaner (freeware) which does a more
thorough job than Disk CleanUp. Disk CleanUp has to be run for each user
profile, whereas cCleaner only needs to be run once.

With any cleaner you need to proceed with caution. To be safe you
should create a restore point before using cCleaner. cCleaner also
offers backup before removal.

When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form
History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one has
irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's
recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer so
that they can easily be re-entered.

Leave the Scan for Issues option alone.

cCleaner does not remove restore points. You need to use Disk CleanUp
for this. Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk
CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest
System Restore point.
