When attempting to run disk cleanup on some Windows 2000
Pro desktops, disk cleanup never completes the first
stage: determining how much space can be saved. From
occurances in the past, I was able to change a registery
entry so disk cleanup would not examine the entire drive
foe determining how much space would be saved by
compressing files. This solved the problem on previous
occasions. Do you know what registry entries to change?
