Disc Cleanup * Warning *

I used disc clean up this morning. There were some additional options
for user "backup" or "temp" files. It was a large number (in GB). But I
went ahead and used it anyway.

Very bad.

It deleted all my icons and program menu shortcuts. It is *NOT*
recommended that you use Microsofts Disc Cleanup program.

Thank goodness, I imaged my hard drive last night after installing SP1.


If you'd like to see the imager I used that has now saved me twice,
visit this thread. There are several utilities that I recommend for
Vista:

Whew. Thanks for finding that fix. I was really surprised that disk
cleanup did what it did. Now it can be used as intended.
