cpu: intel 1Ghz AMD Duron
RAM: 256 MB

cleansweep used to be ok...

but then again that was years ago, dunno is theres a new version.

i dont know about deleting the files (except for using disk cleanup in windows) but a program to see where your HDD space is going is called Treesize Professional. Get it here (http://www.jam-software.com)

Windows Washer is a great program for getting rid of Temp folder files, files from surfing the internet, deletes stuff in your recycle bin, and has other features. You can also try McAfee Uninstaller or McAfee QuickClean. It cleans those things also, plus you can uninstall programs you don't want. :)

Best just to download a trial version of windows washer from the web, I got one from verifieds didn't work

Sure getting rid of useless files helps but for speed you also need to regularly defragment
your hd also get a look at your startup-processes.

[tommy1987]

whats wrong with the good old fashion way of just going through explorer and deleting all .tmp files, you cannot delete vital files cos if u try it will warn you that windows is using them...

To get some major speed up.

Do the following:

Run Window Washer first (clean all your junk)

Run Checkdisk (right click your hardrive icon, goto properties, then tools)

Run Norton WinDoctor

Run a defrag



after all that, i'm sure will we seem some more speed. ;) ;)

Don't forgot to run virus scan too!!!!.
