Hello...I have not done a disk cleanup in a very very
long time. I am trying to free up space on my computer.
when I try to run the disk cleanup, 3 days later it is
still running? IS this normal? Also should i disconnect
my dsl so that is not running while the disk cleanup is
trying to run? Thanks so much for any help.
 
Try the following web sites for troubleshooting suggestions:

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll
down to Line #48. In the right-hand window, click on
"Disk Cleanup - Compress Old Files Freezes"

Simply click on Kelly's fix, download the registry fix, then run it.
(Note: Disable your antivirus program before running the repair script)
