Re: Windows XP maintanance



1. Run Defrag maybe everyother week
2. Run a check Disk from time to time (chkdsk)
3. Remove .tmp files
4. Clean out your Internet Explorer Temp file (Internet Options / Click on
Delete Internet Temp Files)
5. Run a virus scan daily
6. Have a spyware program installed to keep the bugs out.

This should keep things clean and running good for the most part.....
