disk cleanup won't run

[steve baetzner]

Hi.
I'm wondering if I have somehow or other deleted my "MS
Disk Cleaner program. I had been using it regularly for
years and all of a sudden it won't work. I can't locate
it using "search". I'm using WinXP Home Ed. vers. 2002
if that helps. Thanks. steve

Hi Steve,

Info and tips:

Restore Disk Cleanup - cleanmgr (Line 84)

Disk Cleanup freezes during the Compressed File Phase: This edit corrects
the problem:

Disk Cleanup - Compressed Old Files Freezes (Line 48)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
