yup true, some old school tips how to make our windows runs a bit faster which I am always do in XP
-1st boot in bios set back to boot from HD or C, from floppy or CDROM which some ppl might ignore this
- Disable some start up programs which we seldom use in msconfig
- Set network ID user to standalone user, default will be 2 administrators
- disable some running services such as window's background auto update and security center --ehem--
- once in the while run unused registry cleaner to clean clogging orphan registries
- not to mention disk cleanup and fragmentation
- to add here some suggestions from edmin and other, eliminating the pagefile

Need for more? fork out all the notes from the pocket and buy an I7 or phenom!

for clearing out junk, i recommend ccleaner. and use light footprint antivirus such as avira.

i use both ccleaner and tuneup utilities on my old p4.
antivirus i use nod32. one of the best antivirus i've used so far

I'm using Avast,for the moment not using any cleaner in my system.

no cleaner? how do you maintain your system?

i use tune up utilities

tweaks and cleans

CCleaner is great as well

I don't install junks on my system,so xleaner isn't needed for me.

Every time when we installed and run programs, keys pressed, uninstalled it or we installed any other applications, without known to us these programs create registries, cache files, temp files or .dll etc etc. They remained there even we already uninstalled the main applications and those remaining files we consider junks already, they may piled up sometimes into large size. Put on these way, when we cutting down a tree, only a tree itself dies but not it's root, and we need something to remove it.

I tried CCleaner, but still prefer the old RegCleaner by Jouni Vuoro. Now he sold these software to some commercial com but we still can get the old free version. It is old but powerful utility.

yeah regcleaner is quite good. i use it occasionally too instead of ccleaner's and tuneup's registry cleaner.

@edmin,i found that we do not need to delete pagefile.sys manually. The file will disappear after you select no paging file and reboot.

in xp maybe, but in vista you will need to delete it.

eventually the browsers u use will bring in some junk

haha

xp and 2003 will gain back disk space when u reboot & select no page file

vista? what ? i never use vista, EVER and EVER

@Jcsy,i aware browsers will bring in some junks buy still ok for me as i'm not too heavy in surfing.

@edmin,you use Vista currently?Win7 RTM version is approaching?

of course using vista. win7 RTM incoming

Vista is garbage for me..

im using 2008 server instead of Vista if needs be

Win7 ? that should be much much better

I am return back to XP from vista, IMO vista just performs 'looking good' but XP in overall does better. Win7 is currently installed and running at my work place desktop, still in look, wait and see before decided to install it in my pc at home.

Win 7 is very much better in my opinion. I have also installed a copy on my rig. CPU calculation still manage to get 4.4 out of 7.9.

yeah, RegCleaner is good.
arranged with details and backup function


price issue, unless... haha
skipping Vista for Win7
