clearing caches 2

I used to use this with win98 all the time. Remove a registry key or
two. Drop to dos mode and erase a couple of folders and when I booted into
windows the folders would reappear empty. Nice system cleaning and
housekeeping. Regained some disk space and erased cookies and spyware and
covered tracks from where I had been which would've been nobody's business
sitting down at my computer. I would like to do this with my xp for all
these reasons. Btw I use media center edition most of the time.
