Hi,
You've probably all heard of the Windows Registry, and how we should not mess with it. Still, over time Windows (especially XP) can get seriously slowed down by a bloated Registry.
There are many commercial and freeware downloads out there which claim to "clean" your Registry of old entries and broken links left over from previous activity, and speed up your PC. I'm just as suspicious of these as anyone, as many of them do nothing or make things even worse.
I was not aware until now that there is an enhanced version of the good old native-to-Windows Disk Cleanup tool. This newsletter about it (I have no connection with them) I have found to be a reliable, unbiased, and informed guide, and I thought you might be interested in this article

and the enhanced Windows tool

If you decide to try this, note there is a space after "Cleanmgr", and a colon before the number 99.
Cheers
