Disk Cleanup
Ok, After the NT4/Win2000 debacle I am on a roll here, might as well get it out of my system (no PC puns included) But, hell, Windows 2000 runs beautifully on my system but for the life of me i cannot come to terms with the 'disk cleanup' utility.

It takes bloody ages to do anything! In fact it gets stuck (nothing like technical terms here) at the "Compress Old Files" stage and remains aimlessly thrashing away ad infinitum. I have always cancelled after 10mins at this point.
By the way i am background running Norton Utilities 2001/Anti-Virus 2001 at the same time.
What gives?
