One
thing that is often overlooked, and can have a negative affect
on your computer's performance,
are all the files that are in the TEMP directory. I've had
quite a few people ready to get new computers until this was
cleaned. These
are easy to clean and slightly different in Win9x and Windows2000
or WindowsXP
Windows98
Open
up a DOS prompt
CD
\windows\temp (make sure you are in that directory before
running the next line.
Run
deltree /y *.*
CD
\windows
Run
del *.tmp (be very careful of the spelling)
Windows2000
/ WindowsXP
Go
to C:\Documents and Settings\User_Name\Local Settings\Temp
(where User_Name is replaced by the person who is logged
in)
Delete
all the files
