By default, the shortcut in the Start menu points to the 32-bit (x86) executable for Disk Cleanup. While Disk Cleanup will work fine from this shortcut for most things, there is one function that does not work correctly – the cleaning of System Restore points and Shadow Copies / Previous Versions.<br><br>Note that if you launch Disk Cleanup from another location in Windows, for instance by clicking the “Disk Cleanup” button on a drives properties window, it will launch the correct executable for Disk Cleanup.<br><br>If you want to correct the Disk Cleanup shortcut in the Start menu, follow these steps:<br><br> 1. Click on Start, All Programs, Accessories, and then click on System Tools.<br> 2. Right click on “Disk Cleanup” and from the context menu that appears click on “Properties”.<br> 3. Change the “Target” from “%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\cleanmgr.exe” to “%SystemRoot%\system32\cleanmgr.exe”.<br> 4. Click on OK. If User Account Control prompts you for consent, click on Continue or provide the appropriate credentials.Fri, 04 May 2007 12:06:51 GMTJason
