The directions above left out an important footnote and maybe this will help to explain the procedure a bit better: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. Type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER. 3. Locate, and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches 4. On the File menu, click Export, and then click Desktop, type VolumeCaches in the File name box, and then click Save. Note This step creates a backup of the VolumeCaches registry key. If you experience any problems after you complete the steps that are listed in this procedure, you can use this backup to restore the VolumeCaches key to its original state. To restore the key, double-click the VolumeCaches.reg file on your desktop, and then click Yes. 5. Expand the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches 6. Delete the Compress old files registry key. 7. Quit Registry Editor.
