You don't need to do many of these tasks that often. You shouldn't have
to defrag your HD every week. In fact, defragging too often can shorten
the life of your HD.

Subject: Re: Accessible Windows 7 Registry Cleaner
Exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about.
There's a whole market which has grown up around these kinds of
cleaning apps, making people think they're computers are going to run
better if they do this or that,
and unless you are very technical,
and understand what's up, you will often fix one thing, butbreak
something else.
Most of the time with tweaking internet settings and such, or
cleaning temp files,
you won't do any lasting damage, but the registry is the achiles heel
of windows.
Mess that up, and your in trouble.
So my registry edits are very conservative.
and very specific to a function.
Because, my friends, there is no way a general purpose registry clean
can know what belongs to what ahead of time,
because there aren't always log files,
and apps can be written all different kinds of ways
and there are just too many dependancies.
It is not for no reason that microsoft doesn't recommend registry
cleaners.
Disk Image your system when things are running right,
and you'll always be able to go back to a good place.
