Always run scan disk before defrag. Clear out temporary internet files and other
temp files first. Internet Options - General tab - delete temporary internet files
and choose 'delete all Offline content'. Clear History. In Settings, set the size
of the TIF folder between 5-10 MB.
Start - Find - Files or folders - in the named box type: *.tmp. Choose Edit - select
all - File - delete. Do the same for *.chk. Then type: temp. Empty the contents of
the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. Delete this folder
- C:\Windows\Applog. It's not needed and is related to Taskmon's useless purpose.
It'll be re-created at bootup, but it'll be empty. Empty Recycle bin.
Uncheck Taskmon and PC Health in 'msconfig' under startup tab: Start - Run - type:
msconfig - uncheck it then Apply. Close all tray applications, then hit Ctl_Alt_Del
and End Task on everything but Explorer and Systray. Disable your screensaver by
temporarily setting to "None." Run scandisk in "Standard" mode then defrag,. First,
in defrag settings, uncheck "rearrange program files so my programs start faster".
Reboot.
If necessary, run the maintenance tools in Safe mode. Also, check out Jack's webpage
