Disk Cleanup

[Mike]

If I select start, programs, accessories, system tools
and click on Disk cleanup the "Calculating how much space
will be free will take a few minutes to complete" comes
up but it never changes.

I have gone into My Computer right clicked C drive
clicked on Properties clicked the tools tab and ran the
disk clean up check (suppose to fix problems) and still
my problem exists.

Any suggestions????

Its hanging on Compress Old Files. See
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, Line 48, Disk Cleanup,
Compress Old Files Freezes. See the instructions at the top of the page for
details on using REG files.

I have this same problem and am not clear on what to do from the Kelly
Corner Tweak page, line 48. I download that file and when I click on
it, it installs something to my registry. Will that 'fix' the
problem, next time I use the disk cleanup, or do I need do other
actions? I couldn't tell from the instructions at the top. Thanks.

I'm Mike with the original problem. I did the same thing
and even went to # 82 or 83 can't remember and did a down
load of a disk cleanup manager. I still have the same
problem

That's all you need to do.
