Open command prompt By right click run as administrator and then type in cleanmgr /sagetset: 1 and you will get a feature to clean up some old stuff the other disc clean up does not take care of use at your own risk. Mine found 2.4 gig of old stuff. i checked all of the stuff it found and deleated then all.

Cool tip... Thnaks

What sorts of other things got cleaned?

[airman]

I had quite a list can't remember them all but 1 was old installation files, widows old files if applicable, hibernation files, error reporting, dump files, thumbnails, recycle been, and most of the other ones that are not usually found with the other control panel disc cleanup I cannot remember. Running it a second time doesn't find a lot of the things it found the first time you run the cleanup.

Cool. Thanks. FYI, CCleaner (free) sounds like it does similar things.

There are a lot of different kinds of cleaner out there but most of them I do not use because I got used to using certain cleaner and it has never let me in a bind so I stick with it and do not use another other. I have heard of thing happening with other cleaners that sometimes cannot be taken back it if you do not back up registry or files. Ha buy the way I check out the other music file format you use and they sound good just like the others we tried.

Yes, I don't use CCleaner on the registry. I knew I was deluding myself thinking that the "other" recording procedure yields better MP3s.

OMG thats freakin unbelievable over 2GB of data cleared! I performed this on Windows XP, so it works for that too

I though I was doing good with the normal disc cleanup getting like 20 mb or 30 mb once in a while the 2.4 surprised me too on my other system it was only 1gig and another was only 200mg so i guess it varies with different systems. My brother in law system is basically the same as my P5K except a 6850 chip had only 1.2 gig but this AMD system had the 2.4 gig.Three systems running Ultimate and 1 running Business.

Hi Airman!

Would you please repost that program all by itself on a line so I can make sure I copy it correctly, spaces and all? Thank you.....I may try it on my Toshiba Vista laptop (about a year old, now).
