Steve,
Ouch. I failed that test. I have third party tools that do all the system
functions in the folder so I never really looked in it. The Start Menu is
also a much more convenient place to get System Restore access then the Help
and Support page I have been using.
I do not have the courage to try Start/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Cleanup
on this computer because there are no options on the initial screen. I have
a laptop that I will use later. I use the Disk Cleanup in Windows Explorer
which may be the same as the one on the start menu. If so, I'll use the
start menu access.
Thanks again,
Bill-R
