Disk Cleanup Hangs

[Tom McCabe]

I just installed sp4 on my Win 2000 Pro machine along with all the available
updates (used auto-update) and was hoping that a problem that I have had
with my system since the beginning would be resolved, but it hasn't. The
problem is that when I attempt to use the disk cleanup tool in windows, it
never gets past the checking for old files to compress stage.

Is there a patch for this that may not have been downloaded by
"Auto-Update"? Is it possible that there are so many old files to check that
it would take longer than the 30+ minutes I gave it?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom McCabe

Thanks, Bob...that's more than I found when I searched the MS site this
morning. I notice that the article is for XP but am assuming that this
function is the same on Win 2K...in any case I'll check it out.

Yes, it is same for 2K.
