Hey there. My windows vista has disc cleanup automatically set to run.
Around every 30 days, I find my media content licenses have been deleted. I
have Windows Media Player 11, which does not allow the backing up of licenses.

How do I turn off the automatic Disc Cleanup feature? Or where do I find
the file where licenses are kept so that I can back them up?
 
first did you check
start menu, all programs, accessories, system tools, task scheduler
ifthisisnotit repost and i will post additional solutions i hope this helps.
 
I went to the task scheduler, but the disc cleanup is not scheduled to be
done automatically that I can see. Any other ideas?
 
Whatever you are using is NOT vista disk cleanup!!

Get rid of your 3rd party software!

Disc Cleanup * Warning *

I used disc clean up this morning. There were some additional options
for user "backup" or "temp" files. It was a large number (in GB). But I
went ahead and used it anyway.

Very bad.

It deleted all my icons and program menu shortcuts. It is *NOT*
recommended that you use Microsofts Disc Cleanup program.

Thank goodness, I imaged my hard drive last night after installing SP1.


If you'd like to see the imager I used that has now saved me twice,
visit this thread. There are several utilities that I recommend for
Vista:
