Disk clean‐up problems

Some people have problems with Disk Cleanup tool in Windows XP

It hangs when you try to start it?

It seems to goon for hours, and all you see 4‐5 of the blue bars on the screen.

It never completes the process.

There are several possible causes for this.

One is a fragmented disk.

Be sure you run the defrag utility :‐

Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter

Are one that you have purchased such as Perfect Disc before starting a cleanup.

Another possible solution is to empty your Temp files folder.

If Disk Cleanup is hanging during the compression process when youʹve selected to compress old files, you may be able to fix the problem with this registry edit: ‐

Here I go again with the same caveats

Scroll to the following key:‐

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\

Explorer\VolumeCaches.

Right click the folder labelled Compress Old Files and delete it. Close the registry editor.

__**Caution:‐**__

Always back up the registry before making changes.

This edit will cause old files not to be compressed..
