[Guest Brandon]

I need help with disc clean up. It Does not give me all the options it used

to. it only gives me the option to delete:

 

Downloaded Program Files

Recycle Bin

Temporary Files

WeClient/Publisher Temporary Files

Compress Old Files

 

These are the only options that it gives me, it used to give me the option

to delete temporary internet files and more. PLEASE HELP!! Thank You

Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp after space

saving for compressing files should give a Window with a scroll bar to

the right. The option to include Temporary Internet Files should be in

the list there.

An alternative to Disk CleanUp is cCleaner (freeware) which does a more

thorough job than Disk CleanUp. Disk CleanUp has to be run for each user

profile, whereas cCleaner only needs to be run once.

With any cleaner you need to proceed with caution. To be safe you

should create a restore point before using cCleaner. cCleaner also

offers backup before removal.

 

When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form

History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one has

irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's

recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer so

that they can easily be re-entered.

 

Leave the Scan for Issues option alone.

 

cCleaner does not remove restore points. You need to use Disk CleanUp

for this. Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk

CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest

System Restore point.

Hope this helps.
