| When I attempt to do a 'disk cleanup' under my Drive C: properties, the process maxes out my CPU usage and
hangs at the very beginning of the "calculating space" step. I have to manually end the process. What can I
do to resolve this. I am running Windows XP Professional 2002 w/Service Pack 1 installed. It is also
up-to-date on all critical updates.
