Computer Maintance Tips - Part 1: WinXP (Security, Speed, Clean)

This is a simple two-part video demonstrating some useful computer maintenance tips to keep your personal computer running in peak condition. The videos go over multiple utilities and applications for security, optimization, and maintenance that are built into windows as well as 3rd party ones.

This was intended for Windows XP but can be applicable to other Operating Systems as well.

good job

some ppl need to see this video.

more for low end machines.

Thank you, I appreciate it :) Hopefully many do see this and find it helpful :D

Also, your inferring that "average" users needs to learn reverse-engineering and running everything in a virtual environment similar to that of Sandboxie then I couldn't disagree more. That's just a ridiculous claim. To expect that of an average computer user is absurd and doing so as an advanced computer user for everything is also rather high-strung. I rarely find a need for Anti-Virus clients or to run applications in a virtual environment periodically to test their integrity. It's over-kill

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

I don't think you understood quite what I said completely. I said organization is key to keeping up with your system easily and efficiently which is true. This doesn't mean the system can not be comprised and come across issues but rather means it's easier to correct issues and maintain your system when everything isn't randomly scattered at illogical locations and you quickly locate necessary files with ease. Not to mention it's easier to find something out of the norm

[JoshuaOneHundred]

Organization is not the key, you can still be organized and majorly fuck up your computer because you don't know what you're doing or not be able to operate the computer efficiently or easily because you have no idea what this thing does.

Virus protection isn't needed if you are capable of monitoring all actions performed on your computer. (Virtual sandbox) and.. you are able to disassemble a program and view everything that it performs (such as reading ASM code)

"Average" users need to learn.

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

Lol, Well I am sure you do but I am referring to most users not a select few. This video and it's corresponding one is geared to most "Average" computer users and offers simplistic, easy to follow advice.

I got loads of time on my hands

[mushroomHEADBANGERS]

While it's nice having a good understanding of the many aspects of a OS it can often be time consuming, inefficient, and a hassle to many users. Most average users aren't going to take the time to learn the ins and outs and even most advanced users aren't going to take the time to scour the registry hive seeking out errors and discrepancies.

However, it does help to have a good understand of these things as it can always come in handy but in most cases isn't necessary now-a-days

[JoshuaOneHundred]

I'd advise on learning how to perform the tasks that the applications are performing by yourself/by hand, so you reduce the amount of applications you install. For instance, learning about the registry and knowing what is what and being able to remove things without questions
