How to Schedule Disk Cleanup to Run Automatically in Windows XP
This guide will show you how to make Disk Cleanup a Scheduled Task in Windows XP.
First we have to establish the parameters you want Disk Cleanup to use:
Go to Start > Run > type cleanmgr /sageset:50 . Ensure there is a space between
cleanmgr and / > click OK
In the resulting screen, choose your options by checking the boxes. Choose all except
Compress old files, Catalog files for content indexer, and Recycle Bin.
Click OK
Now that we have established what we want Disk Cleanup to do, we need to schedule it to
run:
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks > Add Scheduled Task >
the Scheduled Task Wizard will appear, click Next.
Scroll down until you see Disk Cleanup, click on it once to highlight it and click Next
Pick how often you want the task to run, recommend “When my computer starts”
Enter the local administrator as user name and password. Click Next.
Verify your settings are correct.
Check the box next to Open advanced properties for this task when I click Finish.
Click Finish
In the resulting screen you should only have to type /sagerun:50. Ensure there is a space
between .exe and /.
Click Apply.
Enter your password. Click OK to close out the 2 screens.
Now let's verify we've done this correctly.
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks and make sure your task is
there. Double click on it to make any changes.
That's it!
