    I'm using XP.

    Whenever I try to use the disk cleanup nothing happens. I click it and nothing. Nada.

    What gives?

    I guess I've finally stumped the Clutch BBS computer experts! And they said it couldn't be done!

    Have you tried running the file manually from the c: drive?
    It can be found in "windows\System32\cleanmgr.exe"

    Also are you getting anything? The first window to come up should give you a choice for what you want to clean up,

    Tried some of those suggestions. Nothing. Again, when I click on it nothing comes up at all.

    I'm not sure I want to mess with my registry though.
