hi, i put a mesage up earlier about how when i go to mycomputer right click on c drive and do disk clean-up nothing pops up...i got this reply to go to the registr editing and look for HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\Current Version\Explorer\Volume Caches\Compress Old Files. Rt click-Edit-Delete. Quit registry editor ALWAYS BACK UP BEFORE EDITING THE REGISTRY AS YOU CAN RENDER WINDOWS INOPERABLE IF YOU DELETE THE WRONG KEY! 1 things first is that there was no HKLM file there! 2nd how do i back up the files once i do find what he/she was talking bou thanks!!! i put s message up earlier about my disk clean up and the reply said to Run a Scandisk on that unit and then Defrag it....what does this mean? how do i do that?

This is your third post. It would be easier for us to follow up with you if you stick with your last post. Thanks

XpUser is right ... stick with your original posting, Hannah. HKLM refers to HKey Local Machine backup: highlite HKLM :-) goto FILE > EXPORT ... give that baby a name and save it. Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.' icq 10183575

Maybe click: start>all programs>accessories>system tools>disk cleanup Maybe that will work for you.

Spy and adware cause alot of havoc on PC's. If you haven't done so yet, D/L Spybot S&D, make sure you do an on-line up-date, run it and click fix all problems to fix the stuff with the red exclamation mark. If you have problems with spybot....post back
