Per article 315246 I have a system that I would like to
schedule disk cleanups on, but it won't run the cleanmgr
\sageset:1 without user intervention. I have set this up
on another machine and it worked flawlessly.

The system I want to run this on is not connected to the
internet, so I cannot download Windows updates, but I
wouldn't think that would be an issue, would it?
>From the command line I enter
c:>cleanmgr \sageset:1
(at this point, the disk cleanup options is supposed to
come up, but instead, it is wanting to run disk cleanup
instead of creating the registry value).
then I would run cleanmgr \sagerun:1 to do the auto
cleanup, but it won't run automatically, it wants the user
intervention.

Help!
