What is the best way to clean up Windows Vista and where are the temp files
located? With XP I use to run Ad-aware, Spybot, Easy Cleaner and I would
delete the temp files. Can you tell me what I should do with Vista and
where are these temp files I use to always delete. Thanks.

I find CCleaner ( CrapCleaner) an excellent tool.
It's free, (you can donate something if you wish).

Disk Cleanup works well enough, but before you check any boxes which are not
checked by default, learn about the consequences..

The same applies to CCleaner, and in this case you may want to uncheck one
or two of the defaults..

CCleaner lives here.. http://www.ccleaner.com/

I won't be the fourth person to tell you about CCleaner, but you can also
get clean the temp files by typing %temp% into an address bar and deleting
everything in there.
