~Zero BlogSpot: CCleaner

It's almost Chinese New Year, some(especially chinese) will be busy cleaning their household before the actual start of Chinese New Year, most do it in New Year Eve or the day before.

After you've done cleaning your household of 'hardwares', why not, perform a 'housekeeping' for your computer harddisc too!

Introducing this powerful CCleaner!
Formerly knowns as CrapCleaner, it cleans up unused craps out of your harddisc.

Key Features:
- Clear internet temporary files. Empty internet temporary folder, delete cookies, browsing history etc.
- Clear windows temporary files. Clear cache, search histor etc.
- Clear system dumps. Empty recycle bin, memory dumps etc.
- Clear cache of different third party applications.
- Scan and clear unused windows registry. Most applications will add a registry when you installed it. But most, after you uninstall that program, it did not delete the registry. With CCleaner, it will scan and delete those left overs without harming your system registry. It also offers you to backup your registry before you do the cleaning in case of system malfunctioning(haven't experienced this before).
- Get you a list of all programs and the uninstallers. Lets you choose to uninstall programs that you do not use.
- Manage Startup programs. Let you choose what program you want for your windows to launch during startup. Too many programs may results in longer startup time. Especially useful for low performance hardwares and Windows Vista users.

You can see how much space I can get after housekeeping after one month of usage(I 'CCleaner'ed my harddisc one month before):

My cache has took up to 2GB of space! for one month only!

Some registry that no longer be used. Don't be surprised if you got thousands of unused registry listed there for your first scan. It is possible. I'm one of the examples.
