Brian,

A good way to discard unwanted files id to use Cleanup! (available as a free
download). even though it does ignore some (very few) files, it does a much
better job than Disk Cleanup (on Windows Explorer).

Next uninstall unwanted applications (but be very careful).

Next stop unwanted applications running in the background.

Next defragment the hard disk drive

This will give your computer a chance at running as fast as possible.

Brian.

If you carry out the four steps in my pervious post (see below) you will
have a computer running as fast as possible. BTW it's marginally
advantageous to do a cleanup / defrag before scanning for spyware / virus
threats if only because it will have less to do and everything will be
together and, therefore, it wont take quite so long.

If you want a step by step howto please come back.

Regards.

Not at all - the OP was responding to a post telling her to DOWNLOAD a
utility called "Cleanup" - my reply was consequently absolutely accurate.
The post in question was NOT about the built-in XP Disk Cleanup function....

I guess you do have not heard of snipping seeing as you feel you need to
ask about the benefits of top posting.
