Great hack! I maintain 5 Windows PC for my family home network and this trick has saved me a ton of time. Between this and Auslogic’s Defrag utility my monthly maintenance time has gone way way down!
Thanks for real time saver (which should be an option, or self learned, if MSFT gave a darn about their customers time).

Yes, the value is the same for every computer!

very useful. when I haven’t had a disk cleanup in a long time it takes a while to calculate.

Do you know if default value is the same for every computer? Just in case I ever want it back, which I probably wouldn’t?

I’ve always turned off “automatically detect when diskspace is low” because my disk space is always low and disk cleanup took forever to run!

True, I actually did produce a podcast from this screencast, but I’m having issues submitting them to iTunes….

Did you enjoy it?:
Yep, well done.

Should I do more screencasts? :
Sure, definite, why not? I would just standardize what term you are going to use, I think in the “screencast” itself, you call it a “podcast” - to me, its one and the same, but just for the sake of organization, you may want to standardize them as the “Samanathon Podcasts” or the “Samanathon Screencasts” - your choice of course

Thanks! Did you enjoy it? Should I do more screencasts? You should really check out my post on Automating Disk Cleanup - you can do it with one double-click or set the Task Scheduler to do it for you!

Congrats on your very first [screen|pod]cast

Very useful, I hated how long Disk Cleanup spent calculating the compression time, since I never wanted to compress anything in the first place.
