Clean up drive C

I have loaded the XP critical updates and now am unable
to clean up my C drive. It does the analysis, shows
files and compression to be done, and then does nothing.
Just flips out after the command to begin.

I have both a laptop and desk computer with XP, and both
are experiencing this problem after updates.

Anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks
Pat
 
To resolve this problem, you can download and run the
registry patch from the following Web site by following
these steps:

1. Visit the following Web site:

http://www.kellys-korner-
xp.com/regs_edits/deletecompressoldfiles.reg

NOTE: The URL above will take you to a non HP Web
site. HP
does not control and is not responsible for

outside of the HP Web site.

2. Save the file to your desktop.
3. Right-Click the file and select "Merge."

The above patch will automatically make the necessary
registry changes.

The Disk Cleanup utility should no longer freeze while
using the
"Compress old files" option.

Thanks,
