Windows Performance: Cleaning Out your PC

2 at least twice a week make Cleaning house (or partners will vostrii: P). Vacuum, wipe dust, throw empty cigarette packs and order DVDs. But equally important is to clean houses to make cleaning and computers. Temporary files, Hibernation files, Memory Dump files. All this occupy space alms in computers, in addition performance decreases them. Next you will say how to get rid (free: D) of these headaches.

1. Delete Temporary Files

You have two options at hand:

- Disk Cleanup Wizard (This will delete all files older than a week)

- create a file batch (Delete all files, including the latest one week)

  • open Notepad and write the following lines:
cd C:Users%username%AppDataLocal 
rmdir /S /Q Temp
  • file called cleantemp.bat and save it
  • double-click the file to delete temporary files

If instead will delete unwanted files error, Change % Username% the user with which you log on Windows. For temporary files to be deleted automatically every time you start Windowsul, right-click on cleantemp.bat and create one shortcut its in folder StartUp from Start Menu (ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup).

2. Disable and Delete the Hibernation Files

When the PC enters hibernation, Windows saves the data in files located on the hard-disk, so that, after "waking up" his PC reopen all applications which were running before hibernation. These files occupy a space equal to RAMSite. I mean, if you 512MB RAM, files will 512Mb, if you 2GB RAM files will have all 2GB.

If you do not use hibernation, you can delete these files, saving space that you can deal with things more interesting. :)

If hibernation is enabled, before deleting those files, need to disable. Open a Command Prompt (Start Menu-> Search-> type cmd->Enter) and type the following command

powercfg –h off

data collected Enter and close cmd. Hibernation will be disabled.

cmd

To delete the hibernation file, open Disk Cleanup (using all Search in Start Menu), select the partition on which it is installed Windowsul and give OK. From the list displayed after the scan, check Hibernation File Cleaner and click OK again.

3. Disable Memory Dump Files

When the PCs 'crack' (they restart themselves or put in advancing much-too-known Blue ScreenSites), which creates so-called dump files. Since these files can be viewed causes for which computers clacheaza, but usually no one checks these files. Or those who do are very few. And the computer crashes more often, the more space is hard. : P

To deactivate Memory Dump files, Entered the control Panel, type Advanced Search bar in the upper right corner and select View advanced system settings. Click on Settings from under Startup and Recovery, Uncheck Write debugging information drop down and click OK.

If you wish to activate Memory Dump files again, follow the same steps and check back option Write debugging information drop down.
