[Program] Get rid of old unused files

[Happy2k]

Nothing fancy, just a simple program that clears the windows cache, stores files etc etc.

Its called: CCleaner (Former name: Crap Cleaner).
Download it from here: CCleaner - Download

After installation, simply open up the tool and hit "Run Cleaner". When done, it will display how many MB it has "cleaned" and removed.

When the first part is done, go click on "Registry" and choose "Scan for issues". This will search for .dll-files etc. that are no longer being used, and only takes up space.
When the scan is complete, choose "Fix selected issues" - you can now choose to backup your registry database (so far i havent discovered any problems at all by not doing so). Choose "Fix all selected issues".

Thats it. Helps a bit on startup and loading times.

not a bad program, most of what it does can be done manually quite easily, but i guess this quickens things up, thanks a lot

Nice, just cleared out 2 gigs of space.

I still recommend backing up the registry; trust me when your registry crashes (if it does) you'll be thankful.

Thanks! I'm always looking for ways to clean up my computer and run programs faster.

I've been using this for a long time now. But be careful, it can happen that it deletes backup files or saved games like it did to me.
