Running Disk Cleanup in Vista Premium.

I am really new to Vista, like I just got my new desktop yesterday afternoon.
I am use to Windows XPs disk cleanup an when you start the program there is a
box that pops up and shows you what to clean. Vista Premium dosen't seem to
have this at least my mine don't. When I start Disk Cleanup nothing pops up
to tell me what its doing like in XP. My Blue light on my Dell desktop
flashes like its doing something. Anyone with some ideas whats going on
please help. I don't want to mess anything up in Vista. I am totaly new to
Vista an am not very knowledgeable about PCs. Thanks for the help an have a
great day an be safe.

If you click start>computer>right click the drive you want to clean then
select properties. Click on the little square "dish cleanup". A small box
comes up asking which files you want to clean. Make your selection and you
will be quided through the process.
