Clear Out The Junk, Streamline Your OS, And Slash Unwanted System Services

Clear out the junk, streamline your OS, and slash unwanted system services.

Your PC is a travesty. It’s a mess, and you know it. Files everywhere. Stray registry keys cluttering things up like dust bunnies in the corner of your garage. Unused programs filling your virtual shelves. Hidden auto-running programs under your Desktop’s rug. And that’s normal, because you’re a PC user.

That means you use your PC. In the process, you install things, you juggle files, you toss stuff on the desktop. Sometimes you need to move quickly and messily, sometimes you just can’t be bothered. Rest assured, you are doing the right thing. If you spent minutes in meticulous thought every time you had to decide where to save an image or install a piece of software, you’d get nothing done. So, when it’s time to clean up, we suggest you do things differently, and stop that mess happening in the first place.

If you’ve come for the cleaning, don’t worry. We’ll wade through the numerous methods you could use to scour your PC clean of filth, and do away with the clutter. But there’s more to a clean PC than emptying the trash; we’re going to seek out the ways you can keep your PC in tip-top super-efficient shape throughout the year. We’ll discover methods you can use to get organized without even having to think about it, and software that can make Windows a far more efficient operating system to use.

To continue the by now way overused house-cleaning metaphor, when we’re done with your PC, it’ll be the difference between your vacuum cleaner being in three distinct parts scattered who-knows-where around your home and having a robot vacuum that empties itself and gives your cat something to fight with. We’ll crib from other operating systems, we’ll pull in some obscure apps—whatever it takes to turn your PC into a tidy, slick, well-oiled machine that positively encourages you to maintain it.
