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
