Disk Cleanup not working on BOTH of my computers

[Dennis Rainwater]

Both my desk top and my notebook are Compaqs and both run
Windows XP. Neither one of them will run Disk Cleanup.

In both of them, Disk Cleanup will begin -- but the
progress meter will get to three or four bars (like,
1/10th of the way to finished) and stop. It will stay
there without moving for hours if I let it. It never
finishes. On my notebook, it heats up the processor
enough to run all three fans on high.

What is wrong?

Thanks for you advice,
Dennis

Hi mate! Well, I had the same problem, now rectified, by
downloading the edit on line 48- right hand side ( I
think) here:http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Let me know how you get on. (e-mail address removed)
