Nick: did you google:
how to use the windows resource monitor
.. it turned up lots and lots of info.
However, the classic solution to a clean machine is to literally start
over: wipe the disk *after* making a complete copy of its contents to a
cheap disk, and drag stuff back aboard as you need it.
This is augmented by Dropbox: if you don't have it now, you may want to
consider it as a backup of your working stuff, stuff that you can't replace
from other sources and is data you actually created. It also makes it
trivial to see/work on the files from any of several computers.
Then the "lets start over" approach is much much easier. Clean system with
one folder of your working repository.
I'm always amazed just how zippy a new system is.
I keep a log of all installs I do, you may start doing that .. it makes it
easy to know what you may need to reinstall if you go the clean install
route. And what may need removing 'cause you don't use it anymore.
