Keeping you'r computer cleaner + faster by tushar
Desktop
If you want your computer to load faster on startups I really recommend you to clean your desktop. If you have many icons and stuff on your desktops it takes much longer to load than if you only have a few things.
So my tip to you is to clean off nearly every icon. It doesn't take much longer to go to the start menu and find the program you want to use.
Aswell as if you have folder and files on your desktop. Put them somewhere else.
%temp%
The %temp% is not hard at all to clean and in some cases it can make your computer faster.
Here is how you clean it:
Go to Start > Run and then you type %temp% and hit the enter button.
A new window will pop-up, in that window delete everything and then close it.
If you can't delete everything just leave it then.
Disk Defrag
If you want your harddrives to go faster then I recommend you to disk defrag. Windows already have a disk defrager but I recommend you to use Auslogics Disk Defrager.
You can download it from here.
Uninstall Programs Correctly
Many people use Windows Remove and add programs, but the bad thing about it is that It doesn't delete the registry files after you uninstalled a program. This could accually make your computer a little slower so how can you delete the registry files?
The answer is very easy. It's a tool called revo uninstaller wich cleanes up everything after you uninstalled a program and it uninstalles programs aswell for you.
You can download Revo Uninstaller from here.
Startups
If you want your computer to go faster on startup you can clear your startup programs. What you do is simple. You just tell the program to not start att the startup. And how to do it is also simple:
Go to Start > Run and type msconfig and hit the enter key.
Go to Startup and clear the programs you don't want to start when your windows starts.
If you don't know if you need the program to start up or not you can check it out here, aswell as you can check if there is a trojan or any other unwanted stuff that startup.
Tools/Programs
Ccleaner
Cclenaer is a very easy to use and a fast tool. What Ccleaner simply does it that it repairs the registry keys and clear temp files and internet files such as cookies and much more. Ccleaner is a free tool and you can download it from here.
Glary Utilites
Glary Utilites is a program that is like Ccleaner. Put it has more functions. Glary Utilites can clean Temp files and internet files, repair registry, clear empty folder, serach for dangerus startups and spyware, look for harddrive errors and much more. Glary Utilites cost money but there is a free version out there. You can download the free version from here.
ATF-Cleaner
ATF-Cleaner is a tool that clear files that slows the computer. For example temp files and internet cookies and stuff like that. ATF-Cleaner is really easy to use and fast aswell as it is totally free.
You Can download ATF-Clenaer from here.
Tune-Up utilites
Tune-Up utilites is my favorite along with Glary Utilites. Tune-Up utilites can clear alot of disk space if you want it to. Tune-Up can look for disk errors, undelete files, delete cookis / temp files, fix registry and much much more. Tune-Up utilites cost money but you can download it from rapidshare here.

You may recognise that your system gets slower and slower when playing and working a lot with Your PC. That's because your RAM is full of remaining progress.* Create a new Notepad file on your desktop.* Rename it as RAMcleaner.* Type FreeMem=Space(64000000) in this text file.* Save it as RAMcleaner.vbs [You may choose the All Files option when u save it]* Run the file and your RAM may be cleaned.* Of course you can edit the code in the file for a greater cleaning-progress. eg:, FreeMem=Space(1280000000) and then Save it.

Making A FILE of the ANY SIZE you want
,
Making A FILE of the ANY SIZE you want..
How to make a file of the size you want ?
Let us assume you want to make a file of size 10000kbConvert it to bytes -> 10000*1024 which comes out to be 10240000 bytes
Open calculator (win key+r -> type in calc )
Choose view mode to be Scientific one
Type in 10240000 and convert it to hex it comes out to be 9C4000
Convert this value to 8 digits by padding zeroes to its left
-> so finally it comes out be 009C4000
Open Command Prompt (win key + r -> type in cmd )
Type DEBUG filename.datit'll show file not found error ,ignore itType
RCX -> Enter -> then last four hexadecimal numbers
i.e. 4000 ->EnterType RBX -> Enter -> then first four hexadecimal numbers
i.e. 009C->EnterType W ->EnterType Q ->EnterW stands for write and Q for quitNow check the file you just made by dir command ->dir filename.dat
Using the same technique you can make files as big as you want.

Change the Default location for Installing Applications
As the size of hardrives increase, more people are using partitions to seperate and store groups of files.
XP uses the C:\Program Files directory as the default base directory into which new programs are installed. However, you can change the default installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack.
Run the Registry Editor (regedit)and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. by default,this value will be C:\Program Files. Edit the value to any valid drive or folder and XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.

Go to
start > run >eventvwr.msc
Events are stored in three log files: Application, Security, and System. These logs can be reviewed and archived.
For our purposes we want the System log. Click on "System" in the left-hand column for a list of events.
Look for a date and time when you weren't home and your computer should have been off.
double click on the eg: info n it will show u the detail.
You can also use this log to see how long someone was on the computer. Just look at the time the computer was turned on and off for that day
