Gary,
When you run the Disk Cleanup utility, the program may stop responding
(hang) while scanning for compressed files.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Volume
Caches\Compress Old Files
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
When prompted to "Confirm Key Delete," click Yes.
Quit Registry Editor.

When I try to run disk cleanup, the first window
("compress old files") stays on, but the cleanup does not
continue. I have tried going back to earlier resore
points,but the cleanup will still not run. Any
suggestions?
Gary
