Optimisation: Tweak Your Vista or XP System

Your Windows installation has a lot to deal with, considering the amount of use it gets: new software is installed, old software un-installed, new drivers and utilities are added which claim to optimise Windows, often actually causing more problems for Windows than they resolve. In addition, Windows itself is constantly churning out megabytes of temporary files which can build to a considerable amount, clogging your hard disk. It is therefore little wonder that your computer becomes slow: do you often see the hour glass turning and experience freezing and crashes? If so, then investing a little time in following the optimising checklist in this article will maintain a fast, crash-free Windows.
