Disc clean up

[Gary]

I run XP Pro on an IBM Thinkpad R31. Disc clean up stalls at Scanning:
Compressed files and folders. I ran Norton Systemworks 2002 for a while, but
uninstalled it because it was too resource hungry. I'm thinking Registry
keys that might have been changed but don't know where to look. Any
suggestions?
Looselips sink ships.

Would you mind fixing your clock and/or timezone - you're posting from the
future. Your timezone is set incorrectly. Your message headers tell me
you're in Australia, but your zone is set to PST (Pacific Standard Time).
You need to set your clock to the appropriate Australasian zone (+09:30 or
+1000).

Thank you

Not necessarily his clock setting. Servers are known to cause the clock
discrepancy.

Thank you Nicholas,
I had searched and Googled the MS KB with no luck, and Cassandra needs to
get out and find out what is important in life.
