How to crash Vista

I've heard of several people and including me have completely trashed their copies of vista using disk clean up. It seems to happen different ways for different people. Here's mine:
Run Eusing's Free Registry Cleanup
Run Disk Cleanup
Set Disk cleanup to cleanup the two large files
My hard drive is 120gb in size.

and yes I was dumb of enough to select those the first time they appeared, then I followed the vista clean install guide in these forums. This is the second occurrence of the error.

 

I think it's more likely that "Eusing's Free Registry Cleanup" is causing the problem, not Disk Cleanup. I've never had a problem with Disk Cleanup. Registry editors/cleaners (in general) should not be used unless the user is very familiar with the registry and can review what is being deleted so that nothing goes wrong or crashes.

 

you might have gotten the error from the registry cleaner software, but disk clean up will not trash your Vista. and you have a ton of stuff that disk clean up can free up.

 

I am guessing Disk Clean Up has nothing to do with it, I have never had any problems with it at all

I would bet its registry program.

 

This is what happened to my first installation of Vista, but i had not run any registry cleaner software prior to Disk Cleanup.
What happened was, after running Disk Cleanup, Per User Archived Windows Error Reporting was showing me that i could free almost 80GB of disk space. Naively believing that surely something built into Windows by Microsoft could never mess things up, i hit the OK button.
Oh boy, how wrong i was. Turned out it cleaned up half the contents of Windows folder. I then went online looking if this had happened to anyone else, and found out that the same had happened to quite a few people out there.
To avoid the same thing from happening again, i turned off Error Reporting in my new installation of Vista.

 

I use disk cleanup almost every other day, never had a problem!!
It must be the registry cleaner's fault.

 

it is the cleaners fault however, it should be noted my hard drive is 120 gb in size. Running the registry cleaner and having disk cleanup remove those 150gb files caused my system to crash the first time.

 

That's why I removed Error Reporting from my Vista disc. Don't need it, don't care for it, and I like to have them extra GB's of space.

 

How to disable or remove Error Reporting service from my Vista?
It wastes additional time when explorer crashes.. i am fine with just restarting explorer
