Here's a link of Windows XP clean up: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...storeperf.mspx I hope, it helps! best regards from Austria WOLLA "Karen F" wrote: I'd like to ask what programs most of you use to cleanup your computer.

Take a look at CCleaner as a tool to remove Internet history info, cookies,
temp files, auto complete and other junk. Just check the items you want deleted. http://www.ccleaner.com/ JS "Karen F" wrote in message ... I'd like to ask what programs most of you use to cleanup your computer. Thanks. |

Others have given you good advise. I'd like to add that you steer clear of
so-called trialware versions of disk cleaners you might find while on-line. Many of these prove to be more problematic than helpful as they often tend to continue to nag you even after they have been uninstalled. Some report problems that don't even exist in an effort to get you to buy the full version. There are some excellent third party programs available but for the most part the built in tools work well enough. If you need to hide your tracks or permanently erase files though you will need third party software. -- Harry Ohrn MS MVP [Shell\User] "Karen F" wrote in message ...

In my mind, the absolute best by far is CCleaner (free from:
http://ccleaner.com/ ). My advice to you would be to install and run it with only the blocks checked which are set up by the installation program. As you learn more, you can consider the other options available. Gene K |
