If you want to delete all files from the internet,toss
the third-party junk in the circular file.
Open regedit,(in run),go to:H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\SESSIONMANAGER\MEMORYMANAGEMENT
Open memory(R.clck),L.click the key,clearpagefileatshut
dwn,then go to edit,leaving clearpgefileshutdown highli
ghted,choose modify,delete the #0,type in 1
Close-out of regedit.Now you delete all data at shut-
down,it takes 30-40 sec.longer now.For other clean-up
go to run,type:%temp% go to edit,select all,delete all.
In internet options,delete cookies,delete all files,A R.
click(create a shortcut)to options puts it on desktop.
