Hi Mike,
Windows components
You can free more disk space by removing optional
Windows components that you do not use.
When you choose this option, it will take you to a dialogue in the
Add/Remove programs applet.
In this applet, you can remove components of the operating system such as
Windows Media Player, faxing,internet tools etc.
This particular option, can be tricky to navigate, and should be used with
the understanding that removing components of the operating system
may result in unexpected side effects, since other functions of Windows may
depend on these components to operate properly.
Installed programs
You can free more disk space by removing programs that
you do not use.
Choosing this option, will take you to the Add/Remove programs applet, and
that one is self-explanatory.
This option is a good opportunity for users to clean up programs that are
not used, and free up more disk space, keeping the computer in good working
order.
System Restore
You can free more disk space by removing all but the
most recent restore point.
This option, does what it says, and should be performed from time-to-time,
since these extra restore points
use up disk space, and with time will bog down a system.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Disk Cleanup question
Hi All;
When performing a Disk Cleanup and going into More Options there are 2
items
I have never tried because I am not sure exactly what will happen. They
are
the Windows Components & Installed Programs cleanup buttons. If I were to
click on either of these 2 buttons, would someone please explain to me
what
will happen and also tell me if it is advisable to run either of these
options? All help and advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
Take care.
Mike
