How do I clean out my computer?
    #5106414 - 12/26/05 12:41 AM (18 years, 4 months ago)

I want to get rid of programs I don't use and files that are pretty big and are of no use to me. What is the best way to do this? I start going into folders looking through everything but I thought that would take forever. Is there a better way? On another not how do I know which process or necessary for the computer to run all the time and which ones I can take off so it doesn't boot that process up and always have to running. Thanks

WB

yup, msconfig to weed out stuff that starts up when windows loads, but as for deleting the huge files, go download FolderSizes

If you take down the name of each individual process running (in task manager, using exact name as it appears) and do a search on google, you can find out if the process is necessary or not.
It is pretty tedious but effective.

You use a shovel.
