| 73767 | 2002-08-25 08:21:00 | Hi everyone: Advise please!!!!! I want to give my computer a good cleanout (all the rubbishy programs, files, redundant mp3's etc) I used to have a program called Easy Reg Cleaner. Is there a better one available, and has anyone got any tips they can give me. Thanks, BALDY :-) |

| 73768 | 2002-08-25 08:26:00 | Um, don't delete anything in the windows directory or windows\system. But seriously, undeleting unwanted apps is a good trick, then clean your registry with a damp cloth and some windowlene. Failing that, Easy Reg Cleaner should do. robo. |

Things to do are... 1) Clean out you temp directory (both Windows and Internet cache) 2) After uninstalling unwanted programs do a defrag as there will be heaps of uncontiguos (theres a big word) clusters Im sure theres plenty more :-) |

| 73773 | 2002-08-25 09:55:00 | Baldy. I don't know! When us more mature blokes (old? ) ask a serious question, do you notice how we are "got at". You & I would never throw ribald comments at anybody would we? No of course not. ]:) ]:) Innocent Poppa John :D :D |
