Disk Clean-up Stalls

[Brian Boru]

I am unable to run disk clean-up. It immediately stalls
when I try to run it. I have gone through all the normal
troubleshooting procedures but this has not solved the
problem. Any ideas.

"Disk Cleanup - Compress Old Files Freezes"

Simply click on Kelly's fix, download the registry fix, then run it.
(Note: Disable your antivirus program before running the repair script)
