Hello severedsolo and derekimo, thank you both!

I created the batch file in Notepad and named it clean.bat. The name does not matter; you can name it anything you wish as long as you give it the .bat extension.

Open Notepad. copy and paste the two lines below into Notepad.

cd C:\windows\system32
%SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535

Click on File and select Save as...

Type the file name and give it the .bat extension.

Select All files (*.*) and click Save.

Once I saved the file I moved it from the Documents folder to the Windows> System32 folder. The path on my computer is C:\Windows\System32.

To run the batch file and the program, open cmd as an administrator and type "clean" or whatever you named the file (without the quotation marks) at the prompt and hit Enter.

Hello Carl.

I just added your .bat file and it worked like a charm, cheers!

Thank you, Sir. I'm glad it worked.

I find it easier to just use a shortcut:

Utilities.zip

Whatever works is good.

I was going to find out about this today after work, it seems to work for me, thanks for reminding me.

cool, i normaly used this method.

Advanced Disk Cleanup
-Press the Windows + R keys, type cleanmgr /sageset:50
-Select the options you desire. Click OK and close out the window.
-Press the Windows + R keys, type cleanmgr /sagerun:50
(note - there is a space between the r and the /)

Thanks mate but once you write the .bat file and create the shortcut it's only one click to open from the desk top.

Good Work Ted !!

Great suggestion Carl !!

Thanks Cap'n! :)


Yeah, Carls .bat works great as a shortcut from the desktop too.
