I keep having trouble empting the recycle bin in the boot partition.
Only way to do it is to take ownership of the recycle.bin icon in C,
then type 'rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin' in a elevated command prompt.

Haven't had any problems with other partitions and external drives. I've
done a chkdsk and it doesn't find any errors.

CCleaner. Free. Cleans up trash files, too. Can erase data, too.

I have the latest CCleaner, but I haven't found a way for it to delete
registry entries (such as USBSTOR). Is there some way to do this with
CCleaner. I can get it to delete various log files in windows - but
the registry sees immune.
