YUP Its called reformatt... No I am not sure where it went. First thing I always do is goto add\remove and uninstall EVERYTHING I dont recognize or know I don't want or use. Then is startup cpl to stop all unwanted startup crap.. <-- http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml Then use ccleaner to clean out the old junk and the reg (It does a fairly good job at the reg) <-- http://www.ccleaner.com/ Then run a defrag even if it is the default windows one. After that I use bootvis to speed up the boot proccess. <-- http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=664 Thats a pretty good start for cleaning up an old system.
