Disk Cleanup

[Darren]

Is there any way to remove the "Compress Old Files" option from disk
cleanup?

I will never want to use it, so all it is good for is making disk cleanup
take longer to start.
I have seen it take 5+ minutes calculating.

Start>Run>regedit [enter]

Delete this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\CompressOldFiles.

Not that I am aware of. How about using a third-party cleaner like
CrapCleaner-works well for me.
