Improving Disk Cleanup
The secret to speeding up
Disk Cleanup in Windows XP,is to turn off this utility's lengthy disk
compression algorithm for calculating how much space can be returned to the
user through disk compression. To do so, you must tweak the registry
settings using regedit.exe:
> Click Start, Run, type Regedt32.exe and click OK.
> In Regedt32, select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE pane, then select the Software
folder. Pull down the Registry menu, and click Save Key to back up this
folder for safekeeping.
> Double-click each folder to open the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress
old files.
> In the right pane, double-click the REG_SZ key to edit it. Save the
value in case you wish to restore it later. It reads
B50F5260-0C2111D2-AB56-00A0C9082678. Press Delete to remove the value, then
click OK. Close Regedt32 and then restart your computer.
