disk cleanup

[jerry]

I have 2 computers that are almost twins.Both are running
xp home with SP1a installed.When I run disk cleanup on
one,it does normal but on the other it asks to compress
old files.I don't want to compress,I want to clean!I
don't know why it asks this or how to change it.Can
someone please help me?

Hi Jerry,

Delete the "Compress Old Files" key in registry.
