Computer Maintenance Help!!?
Posted on October 21st, 2009 by admin
When i run maintenance programs on my computer i usually just do it randomly. Is there like an order in which i should run my maintenance programs to better clean and optimize my system?
For example these are the programs i run. (disk cleaner, spyware/adware remover, registry cleaner, registry defrag, 1-click all-purpose cleaner, virus scanner, and finally i defrag the computer)
Looks like you’re doing pretty well in that aspect.
You might want to add ‘check disk’ to your 1X/3 months, just for keeping the OS in shape.
Also, one disk performance item is to ‘compress contents’ and ‘allow index service’. These help optimize file recovery speed & save disk space.
Start> my computer> right click ‘c’ drive> properties> general tab: here check both boxes & ‘OK’.
Don’t freak out: it may say days or more to run, but this time drops dramatically as the process advances. Just walk away and let ‘er run for the duration: it will self close when done.
Depending on the files & sizes, it may take several hours to do (maybe do it at night before bed?).
