Re: disk cleanup

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I'm not meant to get this to work I guess. I did what I needed but when I
tried to do it I got “0x80070005: Access is denied" error message when you
create a scheduled task in Windows XP Service Pack 2. The hot fix is not yet
available. I tried the gpedit.msc and it says windows can not find it. So I
think I may have to be in a wait mode. I will print the error code and check
at end of month for the fix. Thank you VERY VERY much.

There are two defrag tools in XP.

dfrg.msc is the pretty one that opens from
Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools.

defrag.exe is the command line tool that runs from the command prompt.

defrag.exe is the one that you can schedule.

Compress Old Files
[[Windows can compress files that you have not used recently.
Compressing files saves disk space, but you can still use the files. No
files are deleted. Because files are compressed at different rates, the
displayed amount of disk space that you will gain is approximate. An
Options button permits you to specify the number of days to wait before
Disk Cleanup compresses an unused file.]]

When I use disk cleanup and you check or uncheck the boxes for what you
want to remove the compress old files does not clean out. It just keeps
getting larger and larger. I have tried it checking and unchecking the
box. It never empties. Is this normal?
