Technology & Online Earnings Tricks

Many a times I heard the complaints from a good number of computer users that their PCs were slowing down day by day. This situation arises as we install so many programs with the passage of time and whenever all these programs run, they leave behind some unnecessary temporary files within the 'temp' and 'prefetch' folder of c:/windows folder. If you regularly clean the contents of these two folders, then obviously you can enjoy better performance from your machine.

       But cleaning up those two folders manually is a boring task for most of us. Some advises to install software like ccleanup or Advanced System Care. But this also adds burden to the list of installed programs. A very small Batch file can clean up those folders very easily in a fraction of a second. What you will have to do is just to double click on that file. I will show you how to create that Batch file.

The process is as follows:

1. Open notepad and create a new file.

2. Copy and paste the following codes in that file-

@echo off

del /f /q %windir%\Temp\*.*

del /f /q "%userprofile%\local settings\temp\*.*"

del /f /q "%userprofile%\local settings\temporary internet files\*.*"

del /f /q %windir%\Prefetch\*.*

3. Save the file using Save As.. command with any name such as "Cleaner" or anything else you want having the .bat extension.

(in save as type under saving filename, select all files, MUST NOT be .txt file)

4. Double click the .bat file and a black popup screen will appear for a fraction of a second and disappear again. Your temp and prefetch folders are clean now. You can check that in your windows temp and prefetch folders.

5. You can make a scheduled task from control panel using the .bat file you just created which will automatically clean up those folders for you when you desire.
