Can I alter Disk Cleanup options?

[Guest]

I had huge problems with Office & other programs on my last computer, after
accidentally deleting the Office Setup Files, while using the Disk Cleanup
Utility.

Is there a way to permanently remove Office Setup Files as an option, on the
list of things to be cleaned, so this can't happen in the future?

Thanks in advance for any help!

1. Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
2. Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches

3. Backup the "Office Setup Files" subkey by exporting it to a REG file.
4. Delete "Office Setup Files" subkey
5. Quit the Registry Editor.
