Answer 1

Run RegScrubXP weekly. Run Cleanup every time you log off.





Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?d...



Safely cleans junk out of the Windows 2000/XP system registry. All changes made to the registry are fully restorable to it's original condition. You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.

Go out and buy a BIG external hard drive. I got a 400 gig drive from Staples this year for well under $100 after rebate.



Put the music and pictures on that and they are suddenly portable! The drive is huge, though, maybe 1 1/4 inches high, 4 inches wide and 6 inches deep.



How did they fit that much storage in there anyway?

Open My Computer, right-click on your hard drive and choose "Properties" from the pop-up menu. Click the "Disk Cleanup" button about two-thirds of the way down on the right-hand side and follow the prompts.
