Laptop Cleaning

Cleaning up a PC of uneeded stuff is always a pain in the ass...aint it?
Since July04 my laptop has been filling with all the shit in the world without getting a single cleaning...so herez how I went about it...
Getting the essential tools:
1, Disktective...free...available from freebyte...it gives a neat pie chart of ur space utilization
2. Add remove plus.....i got a 30 day trial...which was enuff for one cleaning
3. Nero Burning Rom...or a dvd burning tool if u hv a dvd drive
4. A cataloging tool like: http://www.nonags.com/nonags/diskcat.html
5. registry cleaning tools
6. Adware removal tools
7. gneral cleaning utlity tools like system mechanic

Phycology: Be a diff person...treat the pc as some1 elsez....be ruthless to the stuff u can download later again from the net

Strategy:
The following cleaning actions are reqd:
1. Remove un-needed Programs
2. Figure out the old files esp untouched ones
3. clean registry
4. make notes of things --esp of things u wld like to backup later...for eg: the matter created during the grad school sem!...u want to sort and keep it nice...might be of use later
5.
