Where's the registry cleaner?<BR/><BR/>It is the second available option within CCleaner, it runs, lets you see what its found and gives you the option to save change to the registry before tidying things up.<BR/><BR/>And if you do want to get rid of the machine and completely obliterate what's on the hard drive take a look at:<BR/><BR/>http://www.dban.org/Craig McGintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472179289638566752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-55643189914310089752009-01-16T13:17:00.000+01:002009-01-16T13:17:00.000+01:00We give all our old tech stuff to Oxfam here in Br...We give all our old tech stuff to Oxfam here in Brussels - they have a special shop where they sell the reconditioned stuff or otherwise they sell all the guts that can be recycled if the machine is beyond repair.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277397635514758674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-32370231211868192742009-01-16T10:03:00.000+01:002009-01-16T10:03:00.000+01:00Thanks Craig.

I'm not a fan.<BR/><BR/>However, one super-important thing which Vista <EM>does</EM> do very well is to engage with wireless networks, which in my experience it does seemlessly and in seconds. <BR/><BR/>Clearly wireless functionality was an afterthought in XP, but Vista was built with this way of working in mind. Since it's impossible to do just about anything useful on your computer without an internet connection, that makes quite a big selling point.<BR/><BR/>Let's see what Windows 7 has to offer. My colleague (who would probably still be running Windows95 if he could) tells me it's best to wait for 6 months to a year after a new release so that they can work the bugs out.<BR/><BR/>Personally I like to live a little more excitingly. But for all of that, he's got a point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
