The Monthly Routine

On the first day of every month, this is the cleanup I do to refresh the machines and prepare them for the next month of use and abuse:

1. JV16 PowerTools (registry cleaner)... It will clean out all those useless and outdated registry entries in a very safe way. I trust it completely.
2. Thorough Disk Cleanup. Right click My Computer, choose Explore... Then right click the C drive and choose Properties. Then click the Disk Cleanup button. Make sure you also click the More Options button and cleanup your System Restore.
3. Defragment your hard drive after all the cleaning is done. This will close up any gaps left from deleting all those trash files and make your computer sooooo frisky! Diskeeper is my favorite defragmenting software to date.
