How to Add Disk Cleanup to the
  Right-Click Menu for a Drive
 Normally when you want to access the Disk Cleanup tool,


  you usually have to either find it through the start menu, or

  open up the drive properties window. Instead of going

  through all that, we can use a simple registry hack to add a

  menu item to the drive right-click menu.
 Using   the Hack

 Manual   Registry Hack

 Downloadable   Registry Hack
 Right-click
            on a drive and choose “Disk
 Cleanup” from the menu:

 Open up  regedit through the start menu search
  or run box, and then browse down to the
  following key:
 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDriveshell
 Create a new key called “diskcleanup” and
  set the default value to “Disk Cleanup”.
  Then create another key called “command”
  and set the value to the following:
 cleanmgr.exe /d %1

 Simply   download, extract, and double-click

 on DiskCleanupDriveMenu.reg to enter the

 information into the registry. You can use the

 included RemoveDiskCleanupDriveMenu.reg

 file to reverse the changes.
