How To Add Disk Cleanup to the Right-Click Menu

Disk Cleanup is a tool to clean up your disk from any unwanted file. Disk Cleanup help your PC o  run faster and smooth. But 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. So now you only simply right click and choose Disk Cleanup. Follow this HOW-TO.
1st method : Manual Registry Hack
  • Go to start menu orb, type "regedit" on the search bar. 
  • Then browse down to the following key :

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
  • New window will be open.
  • Then, create a new key called “diskcleanup” and set the default value to “Disk Cleanup”.
  • Then create another key underneath it called “command” and set the value to the following :

    cleanmgr.exe /d %1
  • It should looks something like this :

  • You've done!!
After you finished do the tricks, the change should be immediate, just right-click on the drive and you should see the new menu item.



2nd method : Downloadable Registry Hack
  • To apply this trick, you can just 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.
