If I schedule Disk Cleanup to run as a task and add the argument: /sagerun will this also "clean up system files" as well? Or do I have to provide a script to press the "clean up system files" button? 1 person needs an answer I do too

I cannot permanently remove the checkmark next to "Thumbnails" in the Disk Cleanup utility. I've tried SAGESET to no avail. I would appreciate any help forthcoming.

I agree, many bells and whistles in an OS used to be only available as 3rd part apps that slowly over time make in into OS's, any OS. In years past, 3rd party application developers would go out of business once the majority of their software was incorporated into the OS. One good example is the defragger. Long time ago this was not even standard in Windows and you had to go externally to find a...

I was not suggesting you do this on the recovery partition - Mr. Murphy already told you not to touch that partition and I assume you got that message. I was giving you instructions on how to do the process on your C:\ drive since you seem interested in the performance of your system. I have revised the earlier post to be more clear on this point. Good luck and I hope this helps.

If your RAM is less than 512MB, upgrade it. Limit the programs loading in the background. I don't see why you can't do a disk cleanup though.

Operating System and Version, RAM, ...
