Create your own XP Disk Cleanup Tool


Here is how to create an unattended disk cleanup which will also empty your prefetch folder .



* Create a new text file and place the following contents inside
just copy and paste the below lines in notepad.



c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe /dc /sageset: 1
c:
cd \
cd c:\windows\prefetch
del *.* /q




* Save the file, with the extension .bat



Suppose name it diskclean.bat



* Double click the file. This will run the Disk Cleanup program in a special mode which asks what items you want cleaned when Disk Cleanup performs an unattended cleanup. Check the items you wish to be cleaned up, then click OK.



* Now again Right-click on the diskclean.bat file and click edit. Change the first line



c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe /dc /sageset: 1


to


c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe /dc /sagerun: 1




* Save the file.




* You can execute this file in place of running Disk Cleanup, or, to have this program run unattended, run the Add Scheduled Task Wizard in the Control Panel and create a scheduled task using the diskclean.bat file you just created.
