Basic system maintenance:
· Close I.E. and empty your temporary internet files from
Control Panel / Internet Options. Be sure to check the
box to include offline content.
· Clean up unnecessary files from your hard drive. HDValet
performs this well, and is highly configurable.

· Make sure that you do not have too many files and folders in
'My Documents'. Create new folders *outside* of 'My Documents'
and move stuff to the new folders.
· Clean up your registry (you MUST read the FAQs):
