Treeman Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I forgot where this is located!I want to remove "Office Set-up files," when Disk Clean-up does it's scan.On this old laptop running XP Pro, it takes it quite a long time to read those files.I got rid off disk clean-up reading the "compressed files," but that was a while back, and my brain went somewhere else. Thanks for the reminder. Best,TreemanTitle Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on.--Zxian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeman Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thanks JR,After you export the registry 1st.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches; then choose the (default) SZ value, double click it to edit, and delete the value. This works for "Compress Old Files also," another choice I don't make either, that slows down Disk Clean-Up.Thanks for the tip,Treeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
