@gx & imav,
Why don't you guys post some tips that you follow to keep your system clean, the tools you use to keep it fast and tidy.
All I use is
1) Ad muncher for blocking out ads in web pages & softwares
2) Outlook 2007 & WLMD for checking my mails, so no attachment which might be dangerous opens up automatically
3) PerfectDisk, once a month
4) CCleaner, once a week
5) Tune Up Utilities, I clean the registry once a week, & defragment the registry once a month
6) I only install what I need, & not to keen with trying different softwares. For that I use VMWare virtual machine installation of Windows XP, got 2 GB RAM here so no problem running vista & VM in it
7) All the files I save go to there respective folders. Its not hard to find anything in my computer, every image goes to Picture folder, every video goes to movies folder, Artwork goes to illustration folder etc...U never need to use the Search feature of Windows Vista in my computer.
8 ) I don't use any anti virus which helps in keeping the system fast. Who needs an AV.
9) Frequent Windows Update.., software patches & driver updates.
10)
Most important, Common sense
11) Registry tweaks as needed, with those features I don't need disabled via services.msc & Group Policy Editor.
