Disk Clean Up Hangs..No workie

[Chris]

Everytime I try to run disc clean up it stops after 4
process bars at the "compressing old files" and then it
wont do anything else. I've even left it going for days
with no luck. I can still work on my computer while disc
clean up hangs and once I click cancel, my computer runs
very slow. Anybody have the slightest clue of what could
be going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

When you run Disk Cleanup (Start / [All] Programs / Accessories / System Tools / Disk Cleanup), you are offered to Compress old files. If you never choose this option, or Disk Cleanup frequently hangs, delete the Compress old files registry sub-key

1. Copy / Paste the following to a DeleteOldFiles.reg file

REGEDIT

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress old files

2. Merge the DeleteOldFiles.reg file with your registry or run regedit /s DeleteOldFiles.reg
