Automate Disk Cleanup with Task Scheduler Win XP, Vista, 7

In this video I show you how to automate disk cleanup with a program that comes free with Windows called Task Scheduler. It's very easy to forget to run this task, so why not schedule it to run automatically so you don't have to worry about it.

I hope this video helped you. Thanks for watching, have a great day !!
