Cleaning and Organizing Your Computer

By Aaron Obrien


It is a good idea to think of your PC as an office. It stores files, programs, pictures. This can be compared to an actual office's files, machines and decorations. The operating system is the boss. With this image in mind, think of an office you've visited that was slow and inefficient. There were probably many different reasons for the inefficiency. This is the same with a computer. There can be many items that slow down your computer. Perhaps the one most commonly overlooked is disorganization and clutter.

Windows Registry is an essential part of an operating system. Storing all kinds of information from vital system and hardware configuration settings to completely unimportant stuff such as list of your latest searches, keeping Windows Registry clean and tidy makes Windows happier, and gives a significant boost to the performance of your PC. On the contrary, frequent tasks such as the installation and de-installation of various programs bloat the registry make it fragmented and littered with data that is no longer used.

To perform a disk cleanup on Windows XP you can simply click on "my computer" under the start menu. Than right click on your "c drive" or "hard disk" and choose properties. Than click "disk cleanup" and follow the prompts. When selecting files to clean up, or delete, Windows will give you information to help you decide. When looking over the list of file types, you would simple click on the name of the file type and read the description placed below in the description area. This will let you know if the files can be safely deleted. To select the file group just check the box next to the group name. When finished selecting press "OK" to finish.

It seems that the claims are substantiated. But why paying for a registry cleaning product that you have to install to the PC, thus increasing the bloat, when you can get a cleaning service for free and without installing anything?

The information given above can help you get rid of some unnecessary files, but you may also need to clean out some unnecessary programs as well. This can be done using the "add or remove programs" utility in Windows. This is located in the control panel and lists all of your currently installed programs along with an option to uninstall them. It is a good idea to browse through the add or remove programs utility every once in a while just to make sure that all programs are of usefulness.

Online Registry Cleaner is free, small and blazing fast. It scans your Windows Registry to find obsolete and invalid information, optimize and defragment the registry file and improve the performance of your PC. By removing pieces of information that no longer belong to a valid application, Online Registry Cleaner makes your PC not only faster, but also more secure.
