Hi Douglas,
Where a general disk clean up is concerned, you can
generally trust Microsoft's version of this. The things to
be careful about are, for example, Office Setup files. Even
they are not a major problem if they are removed - PROVIDED
- you have the original Office CD, because at worst if you
have to modify Office, perhaps to add a language dictionary
or something of that ilk, it will ask you to insert the
Office CD.
Bear in mind too, that Registry Cleaners may not clear
"Temporary Files", whereas disk cleanups usually do.
George.

After writing my reply to Sandra on this topic, I decided to
see what the Windows Disk Cleanup would do on the same
machine. This refers to a Vista laptop which I have been
using for around 8 months.
CCleaner offers to remove just over 800 mb, the Windows Disk
Cleanup no less than 5 gb! The list for the latter contains
many items which, without some research, mean nothing to me.
Is it advisable to use a program like CCleaner in addition
to the Windows Disk Cleanup?
On XP systems I had always run the Disk cleanup regularly
and left it at that. But I have been a little cautious with
Vista.
Any comments would be much appreciaated,
Douglas
