[QUOTE="eXPerience, post: 54891, member: 74"] Hi Brian, just some minor things. First, i would change the order of 'Remove Temporary Files' and 'Uninstall Unnecessary Programs'. Because after uninstalling, most programs leave temporary/unnecessary files, resulting in going back to step 1 'Use Only One Antivirus Program', make that part of 'Uninstall Unnecessary Programs' as it belongs in that category. 'Fix Hard Drive Errors' --> mostly asks to reboot, give people a warning because some might lose their work because of 'happy-clicking' and thus restarting without saving. New category suggestion : Defragment ! you can suggest using the default windows defragmenter or refer to freeware software (some are [url=http://www.freewarefiles.com/category_9_96.html]here[/url] optional category : registry cleanup, freeware programs available [url=http://www.freewarefiles.com/category_9_100.html]here[/url] perhaps a little drastic ? reformatting solves a lot of problems which, now that it reminds me, could be the last step if everything else fails best regards, eXp ps : make a notice that people need to backup their files first, even though the steps are 99% safe, we're still working on a computer, and you know ... :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
