Bought a Toshiba 2400 Notebook a couple of weeks ago with XP Pro installed on it. LONG TIME no kidding!!!!! 30Gb hard disk, disk clean took a shade over 30 hours. Shut down all programs, did a defragment, then a disk clean-up at 7am in the morning. It just sat there locked in on "compress old files" until just after 3:30pm THE FOLLOWING DAY. What a joke! I wonder what old files it compressed, all I am running is Office XP !!!!!
