Disk Cleanup - 3 Questions

(Running 2000-Pro, SP-4, IE-6, OE-6, classic mode, dial-up.)
(Running Vista Ultimate 64-bit, SP-2, IE-8, WM-6, WLM-09,
classic mode, dial-up.)
(Running XP Home Edition, version 2002, SP-3, IE-8, OE-6,
classic mode,
via wi-fi spots.)

Question #1: On my Vista system, under Disk Cleanup, one
has the option to delete the following, among others:

Debug Dump Files
System Error Memory Dump Files
System Error Minidump Files
Per User Archived Windows Error Rep

By default these are not checked on my system. Is there any
reason why I can't delete those files?

Question #2: Related to this question, on my Windows 2000
system, under Dick Cleanup, there is an option to:

Compress Old Files.

Any problems likely to be associated with selecting that
option?

Question #3: Finally, related to this question, on my XP
system, not only does the "Compress Old Files" option exist,
there is also an option to delete "Catalog Files For The
Content Indexer". Should I anticipate any problems if I
delete those files?

Note, uncheck Yahoos Toolbar

Download the basic version via

The basic version does not contain the disgusted Toolbar

DO NOT TOUCH THE REGISTRY.


Good luck
