I don’t think there is any doubt that CCleaner is among my favorite applications, and it looks like it is going to stay that way. Thanks to this tiny program I, along with several of our forum members, have been able to clear up gigabytes of files that are no longer needed...thereby reclaiming valuable hard drive space.

One piece of softare that I had never tried to install on Windows Vista before was CCleaner (Download Mirror). There was no mention of whether it was compatible with Vista, and I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to take the risk of trying it out.

A few weeks ago I started a topic in the forum asking what the first few programs are that you install on your Windows PC. It was fun to read the posts so I thought it was finally time for an article on it that summarizes your responses.

It seems inevitable that PC's easily get full of clutter and junk whether it be from the user or from applications that don't properly install/uninstall themselves. I reformat my computer every two months or so just to keep things tidy and running quickly but it doesn't hurt to do some maintenance from time to time.
