   (For Safe Mode)
   F8 – By pressing the F8 key right when Windows starts, usually right after you hear your computer beep when you reboot it, you will be brought to a menu where you can choose to boot into safe mode. If it does not work on the first try, reboot and try again as you have to be quick when you press it. I have found that during boot up right after the computer shows you all the equipment , memory, etc installed on your computer, if you start lightly tapping the F8 key you will usually be able to get to the desired menu.

   I would definitely do what David suggested. But I also have something to add. Its completely free and made by Comodo.com

   Its called Comodo System Cleaner

   Install it, open it, click on power clean up, just click next on everything it asks you including saying yes to backup things first. Its quick easy and does the best job I have seen of cleaning up your computer.

   it cleans up the registry and your computer both.

   Steps: Applications and Documents

   1. First go to your system tools and use disk clean-up, then open your document and applications folders. Drag the icons for unneeded documents to the Recycle Bin (Windows 98) or the Trash (Macintosh) or just delete them. Disk clean-up will do a basic clean-up, but not the best clean-up.

   2. Copy documents you want to keep but don’t expect to use often to CDR, floppy disks or other backup media.

   3. Now move these documents to the Recycle Bin/Trash after you’ve copied them or delete them.

   4. Remember to empty your Recycle Bin/Trash after you completing all the above steps.

   5. You can remove all the old unwanted application programs by using an good un-installer program. Take a good look at all those old programs that you haven’t used in a long time, and remove them if you think you don’t need them. In Windows 98/ME, use the Add/Remove control panel. On the Mac, many program installers include a Remove option; you need to run the installer again and choose Remove.

   System Folders Tip: Most application programs typically put files in your Windows or System folders in addition to what you see in the application folder itself; that’s why un-installer programs are helpful. Text files don’t take up much space on a disk. Sound, graphics and especially video files take up much more.

   Steps: Backup and Temporary Files

   1. Most of your programs should clean up their temporary files by themselves, but sometimes they don’t. Check your folders for file names that begin with a tilde (~) or end with TMP. Drag them to the Recycle Bin/Trash or delete them.

   2. Check your work and application folders for backup files whose names end with BAK. Remove these if you don’t need them.

   3. Warning – Don’t empty the Recycle Bin or the Trash after completing the above steps.

   4. You need to reboot your computer to make sure you haven’t deleted any necessary system file.

   5. Now open your applications to make sure they boot properly if you deleted any files from their folders.

   6. Now if you have no problems starting Windows and your programs, you can empty the Recycle Bin/Trash. Otherwise, return files to their original places.

   Tip: Programs use temporary files to store the version of a document you’re currently working on. When you save changes, the changes made to the temporary file are saved to your disk. Now is a good time to run Scandisk and Disk defragmenter in your system tools.

   Warnings: Don’t make changes to your system unless you know exactly what you’re doing. Only delete files that you recognize and files that you don’t need. Remember to come back to Web Tech Geek.com for more How To tips!
