Keep Yer Hard Disc Clean
Just checkin out how Windrivers folks keep their HDD's maintained and how often you do it. Me personally, I like to run Disc Cleanup, Scan Disk and Defrag about once a month. But I don't download a lot of stuff, or I would definitely clean up more often. For NT systems and servers, I use Diskeeper Lite, since NT doesn't have a defrag util. Works great, and free.

I run 'cleanall.bat' from Fred Langa about once a week and defrag about once a month.

I run Win2k on my main desktop and laptop and run disk cleanup and defrag every month or so. My other machines are primarily used for development and testing purposes and get reformatted about one a month each anyways, so I am not as concerned about cleanup.

Manually clean all cookies, \windows\temp, and recent files, any *.bak or other temp/backup files in \windows, c:\ etc.
Run internet options clearing history and temp files.
Shut down to DOS and using fastlynx I del history and temp files index.dat.
Then back in windows I run WIN ME defrag.

'Bout once a month also on the system drive and other drives as needed.
I start with Evidence Eliminator then go through the usual regimen of ScanDisk and Defrag.

Ghost or Drive Image do the trick for me.

Format twice a year.
Clean temp files after every two hours of surfing (very easy to do with IE 6.0)
Uninstall programs not being used.
Clean up constantly.
Defrage once a month.
SFC after every install and uninstall.
RegClean after every Install and uninstall.
I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

Since all the users where I work have thier personal folders pointed to a network drive, I created a batch file:
attrib /s *.tmp -h -r -s -a
attrib /s ~*.* -h -r -s -a
del /s/f/q *.tmp
del /s/f/q ~*.*
I run it about once a week.
by pointing thier personal folder to the network, it *almost* eliminates the need for clearing thier temp files from thier pc.
this batch file might only work on win2k, as I have not used it on 9x.
