disk cleanup query

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I have a Dell Dim 2400 with XP Home and SP2.

It's not really a problem, but every so often when I close OE 6.0, it does a
compaction.

It seems to do this automatically once a week or so.

Is there some way to control when it does it?

It doesn't ask, It just does it.
