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.

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 :-)

If you have a CD writer then any MP3's and files that are hardly ever used but you don't want to delete can be backed up onto a CDR or two then deleted off the PC.

Make sure you read ALL the instructions carefully, right down to the very last page.
