Re: Microsoft update

Yes, this is how I do it too, but also run a defrag as 3. step :-)

Never have had any problems - doing it this way.

Using My Computer/Windows Explorer open the WIndows directory. Do Folder
Options to enable the viewing of hidden & system files. You'll see a bunch
of directories that begin with $NT, maybe $KB etc. They may show in blue to
represent their status as compressed folders. Sort them by date and delete
all except the ones which are three months old or newer.


After that, go get CCleaner (ccleaner.com or go straight to
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner and select Download Latest
Version to download it. Install/run CCleaner and it will find and let you
remove extra garbage that has accumulated on your hard drive and int eh
Windows registry.
