Hello
The file deleted the key in the registry, and the "Disk cleanup" stopped
showing a 'compressing old files' option. How to enable the option again?

Dmitriy;
You don't want to.
That is the fix for the problem.
The same as Microsoft's, just a little easier:

Hello
Yes. The KB 812248 applies.
Why does the "Disk cleanup" worked on this system and works on another my
Windows XP system?

I just noticed Jupiter's link was -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812248

"en-us" is for English/U.S.
You are probably using a non-English (Russian?) version of XP, so it may not
apply to your OS.

Why would it be listed as a hotfix?
It's not.
