Hey all,

Now in order to keep my machine running healthy i do the following every 3rd day or so.

1. Sort out all the junk on my desktop.

2. Run an Antivirus check, with AVG.

3. Run a Spyware Scan, with Lavasoft Ad-aware.

4. Clean up my Registery, with registery mechanic.

5. Do a boot-time defrag, with Diskeeper. (Puts all the folders together)

6. Do a Defrag with Diskeeper.

THATS IT! 😉

Please add, useful programs that you use to 'clean up', 'fix', or 'speed up' Windows!

Or what you do!

Comon, share your little secrets! Help out other fellow addicts!

In no particular order or schedule:

1) Antivirius check using Antivir
2) Spyware scans using Ad-aware, Spybot, and MS AntiSpyware -- install latest Spyware protection using SpywareBlaster
3) Clean the registry using RegscrubXP, Regcleaner, jv16 Power Tools
4) Selective defrag of partitions/drives using Diskeeper Lite

And the best part is every bit of the software is free. 🙂

Nah, I know many here who do pretty much the exact thing as you and I. It's just this topic has been discussed several times in one form or the other. 🙂
