Re: disk cleanup - QUESTION

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I am unable to find the "Compress Files" line. I select Properties for the
C:\ drive, then click the Disk Cleanup Button on the General Tab, and then
see the Diskcleanup Tab. However I don't see any Compress Files line
listed.

Any help would be very much appreciated, Sam.

P.S. I have a Dell Dimension 8200 computer with windows XP Pro (SP2)

Compress Files in Disk Cleanup actually takes files older than 50 days by
default and compresses them. If you have alot of files on your hard drive
that are old and have not been accessed for more than 50 days, them become
"compression" candidates. The program is cleaning them up by compressing
the
files. I actually prefer not to compress and if you feel the same, open
disk
cleanup, and highlight "Compress Files" line, and near the bottom, a
button
should appear "Options", click that and change the days from 50 to 500.
Then
it should read 0 files to compress.
