disk cleanup

[Dave]

I`m running XP Home, and my disk cleanup quit working, it
just say not responding when I hit ctrl alt delete?

Question: Why does Disk Cleanup freeze?

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

Disk Cleanup - Compressed Old Files Freezes (Line 48)

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.

Thanks so much, the line 48 tweak fixed it. I try the
Microsoft 812248 regedit backup, but that did not work?
Can I delete the file I saved on desktop with the
Microsoft 812248 fix? Dave.

Sure, you can delete that.
