clean crap from your pc…
i recently was told that my some of my advice is a little….convoluted. well, i say no pain, no gain! besides, sometimes all the goodies take a little bit of mental finésse to achieve the wonder. this tip, however, is not one of those.
as a ybp, your laptop is your best friend. you’re either on facebook, reading the news, buying the latest gadget, or keeping in touch with friends through IM or email. keep your best friend happy by getting rid of all the crap on it! CCleaner (the extra ‘c’ stands for ‘crap’) is a great utility that has proven to be gem. while a lot of ‘cleaning’ utilities typically break some apps, extensions, or even accidentally delete some of your files, this 4.5 star rated app has been stellar. i use it pretty often to keep my pc humming.
like always, however, make sure you backup your pc by setting a restore point before running CCleaner for the first time, just in case.

Should I delete the old automatic updates that are listed in my add/remove program menu? If so, how do I do it?

i would say ‘no’ because of microsoft’s typical programming schema of ‘chaining’ code together. although it is annoying, i think older updates are dependent on each other.
ccleaner doesn’t attempt to clean this data and i would assume it is for good reason. most of what i’ve read has tweaks around windows to ‘turn off automatic updating’, but if you’re running at least 1.5 GHz with 1 Gb of RAM on SP2 with at least 40% hard drive space, you should be ok.

[...] i was perusing through old tech news posts and found this goodie. an excellent utility i use to clean and speed up my pc is a free application called crap cleaner. it can fix missing dll’s, delete entries in the startup configuration so your pc boots up faster, and even encrypt deleted files from the recycling bin. remember, that nothing is ever ‘deleted’ on a hard drive. it is simply moved to a new place. this means that unless the deletion was encrypted, someone can get your old documents. check out this free, auto-updating, secure deletion application.
