Tip: to save precious disk space on C: and speed up ur computer use a third party utility to remove dead links in ur registry. This is what i did using Cleansweep in win98 and it saved a HELL of a lot of spce on my old computer with 500Mb in c: (i saved around 25-30mb). take ur time when letting the utility scan the registry because it can take an hour or so depending on how much programs u've got on ur computer. also u shouldn't use add/remove programs through windows as it doesn't remove everything even if it sasys so - i tested by monitoring an installation and using add/remove to unstall the app and then used cleansweep to remove the REST of the program which windows said it had removed. so i thoroughly reccommend using a unstaller program (just read the reviews before purchasing) as it will be a very vaulable purchase when running into trouble. i am currently waiting for the new cleansweep for win2k.
 
Question: when do i become a senoir member? is it thorught how many messages u post or the time u have been here?

Don't wait for a new cleansweep. Go to www.tweakfiles.com and get a registry cleaner. I haven't used Cleansweep since....95.
