disk clean up

[Joan]

Had some trouble with disk cleanup and compress old files.

Followed instructions in Knowledge Base Article #812930
and the disk cleanup now works.

But now the compress old files is no longer an option.
How can I get it back.

Thanks!

Copy and paste the following into a Notepad file. Save the file with a .REG
extension. Double click the file you just saved and answer yes to the
import propmt. Note: The file is comprised of 6 lines, including the blank
line at the end

---------- Copy below this line --------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Volum
eCaches\Compress old files]
@="{B50F5260-0C21-11D2-AB56-00A0C9082678}"
"Priority"=dword:0000012c

You can also type
regsvr32 dataclen

But it will hang again.
