automatic file compression

Hi Skybuck,

Thanks for your posting and thanks for Anando's help. As Anando mentioned,
if "Compress old
files" is checked the utility will compress old files automatically. You
can run "cleanmgr /sageset" and uncheck the option. For more information
please refer to

315246 How to Automate the Disk Cleanup Tool in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=315246

Please feel free to let us know if you need further assistance.

Sincerely,

Ok,

I run the tool like this:

cleanmgr /sagerun

or

cleanmgr /d c: /sagerun

It doesn't make a difference.

It will start saying:

"Calculating"

"Scanning: Compress old files"

So I can't even reach the options.

It better not be compressing my files haha !

Anyway.

I am now convinced this tool's purpose is backfiring.

Since I decompressed some system files and deleted the dllcache my system's
performance is much much much better.

The harddisk is a lot more quite and everything starts faster.

It doesn't seem the tool is compressing anything yet....

Since repeatedly clicking on C: reveals the same ammount of disk space
available.

Though it would be nice if there was an option to skip this scanning.

Or modify the registry ?

Thanks for the help

Bye,
Skybuck.

Well if what you say is true then this is clearly a performance issue

Since I now believe Windows XP was actually constantly using the DLLcache to
compare other DLL's to it, etc.

( Normally the word "cache" indicates something which is regularly used )

I am just glad I now have my system/harddisk performance back to normal

Well it seems like a bug to me...

It still says: "Compress old files"

While I made sure the option was checked off.

It seems it is continueing a task from the last time it ran and when I
cancelled it, is that possible ?

Sageset:<number>

You set with /sageset:<a number> then run with sagerun:<a number>

EG

cleanmgr /sageset:0

Then to run Disk Cleanup with the options specified

cleanmgr /sagerun:0

Delete this Registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress old files

Type regsvr32 dataclen to undo.

You can always tell us the cause instead of your typical MS way of lying.
