Cant run disk cleanup
Hi all,
I am running win 2k pro sp3 and everytime I run disk cleanup I It first starts off with scanning: compress old files and hangs indefinately. The HD light first blinks like normal then it goes out and I have to close disk cleanup through task manager. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this prob? Thanks in advance. |

I had the same problem on XP and used the following fix...it worked...and the following I copied from instructions on how to fix it in W2K:
1. Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe). 2. Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress old files registry subkey, then select it. 3. From the File menu, select Export. 4. Enter a filename and location, then click Save. 5. Delete the "Compress old files" registry subkey 6. Close the registry editor. I admit I didn't bother with steps 3 and 4 to create a backup. I like to live dangerously.
