[QUOTE="dipdude, post: 100652, member: 586"] [B]Things you can do to bring some sanity to your os :[/B] [LIST] [*]First thing to do is defragment to your disk regularly. [*]Defragement your paging file using sysinternals [URL="http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PageDefrag.html"]Pagedefrag[/URL] it defrags both your paging file and registry hives. [*]Clean up junk files and redundant reg entries, both can be done using all in one clean up utility's like Ace utilities, Wintools etc, just becareful and always have backup, also you can use specialised tools to do the same. [*]If you use xp, enable prefetch, it is enabled by default but some people disable it. [*]If there are errors occuring, then get into event viewer, find out the file or driver causing the error and then try to find a solution. [*]About loads of junk getting stored in registry & folders, that cannot be avoided the more applications you install & uninsall more the junk, not all applications uninstall themselves cleanly they would always leave traces behind, if you get finnicky and try to delete them manually then you might end up having more trouble than their was originally. [*]There is nothing like a pristine installation of xp and that's the truth. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
