ToniArts' EasyCleaner
EasyCleaner is a small program which searches Windows' registry for entries that
are pointing nowhere.
Deleting these entries will speed your computer up.
But as you already might know deleting entries from registry can be dangerous
for your computer so it is wise to make a backup of your registry. On my
computer deleting entries which were pointing nowhere speeded my computer up!
EasyCleaner also lets you delete all kinds of unnecessary files like temps
backups etc. You can search for duplicate files and you can view some
interesting info about your disk space usage!

MONDAY BACKUP
MONDAY BACKUP runs automatically every Monday.
There are no applications to launch when Monday Backup
is installed. Unlike previous releases of Monday Backup
this release no longer has the "Backup to Drive A
option."
You can test MONDAY BACKUP once installed by
resetting the system clock to any Monday and
restarting the computer.
Comment: I have a good experience with Monday backup however when Widows get
sick is no way to escape the re-install!

Ram & Cache Optimiser
Do you want the best performance possible out of your system? Chances are you do
: and that's where AnalogX CacheBooster comes in it gives you the ability to
tweak the disk cache (this is NOT virtual memory) to get the most out of your
computer.
AnalogX CacheBooster is very simple to use - just run the program from your
Start Menu and it will display how it's currently configured then you can either
select a new configuration from the dropdown box or change the settings
manually. None of the changes are applied to the system until you press the
'Apply changes' button - then just reboot your system (it's required for cache)
Comment: I have used in the past many good "Cache and RAM's apps." Analogx is
actually the best source that I know.
Software difference Is like the Cleopatra's nose a detail make eventually the
day.

VFAT allocates memory to record the 64 most recently accessed folders and the
2729 most recently accessed files consuming approximately 40K of memory. The
additional 30K RAM is well worth it.

Basic tips to life in peace with Windows 95 and 98.
Freeware treasure's hunting adventure doesn't let you alternative.
To reinstall Window and some 200 programs is pretty time consuming. So I have
been seeking to apply a systematic discipline for the maintenance of my machine
discipline that looks like the 18th century's "purgative" medicine described by
Molière.
1. - Clean up in deep any junks: Registry Temporary files broken links etc
2. - Scan and Defrag the disk after any period of troubles.
3. - A week time differed registry backup like the @Monday backup and an
actualized boot diskette. Can let you work some time before to reinstall
Windows. Don't loose your time ever looking for some trick to safe a sick
windows.
4. - Uninstall cleanup the Registry and reinstall any resident application
showing the most minimum trouble.
When the machine slow down don't expect to shutdown the power 20 times before to
seek for the root of the trouble! When you get a Kermel32 show check the
application involved and eventually uninstall and reinstall office. Get the last
patches from MSN
5. - The Heuristic concept of system's control program is certainly the best
prevention approach regarding unknown virus development.. The Russians have good
creation in heuristic virus detection technology unfortunately I don't know any
available freeware of that sort.
6.- The discipline and the right methodology regarding the our files
backup should be our
primordial concern but is not the case.
The best solution remains to have a second smaller hard disk to keep there
synchronized your active valuable data file. Also remember that is easy to
connect and disconnect a hard disk and carry eventually in your pocket! If you
have only a single unit divide the formatting in C,Dand
E virtual disks that make easy to only reformat C:\. in case of fatal
error of windows or from Internet Explorer.
The full integration of I.E. in Win 98 makes impossible to reinstall E.I.
7. An emergency management folder of shortcuts linking to a single folder any
folders having a strategic value is very easy to do. In case of emergency you
can go there to move or delete what ever all sensitive files.
Power Desk
is the perfect tool to make it.
8. - If you can't invest too much money in your PC (3/4 of the humanity don't
enjoy the Euro-Dollar acquisitive power) better to invest first in extra RAM
memory than into a faster CPU.
Extra Ram like128 MB really make a difference and more better!
9. - Unable most application including MSN office in the window 's Start Menu
can free up some 25% of your system recourse at start .
Ram management also improves
dramatically the performance after a couple of hours of hard work. see
@MaxMem However your Internet connection can
get shut off in the process in aggressive mode.
Actually I am trying the last version of
10. - Most commercial software ask US$ 30 (a day engineer income in many
countries) to improve your third's world expensive and lousy ISP connection.
Don't buy the dream.
Any IP setting freeware does the same thing. After trying most of them
Naviscope
and
Tcp/Ip Accelerator
are
the best and reliable freeware of the kind (see
@Spyware).
However don't expect
miracle when you get a transfer under 1000 bauds like is the case with Prodigy
Telmex of Mexico.
Don't listen the ISP employee asking you to set down the Modem under
the nominal connection rate. 115KBd work better with that king of lousy service.
11.- When a program freeze use (1) key: Control+alt+Del (2) in the "close
program's Window" try first to close other program that you don't need before to
try to close the program in conflict. but never close "explorer"
. If it stucked anyways ...
Better use the
cool reset button than to turn off the power
12.- Get familiar with MSCONFIG : start>run>msconfig just for the
fun
