I'm sure this is a common enough scenario. Three of us share the home computer, which runs Windows XP Home edition. The nipper spends hours on Club Penguin and looking at You Tube videos. It's getting slower and slower to boot up and more and more cantankerous, it won't run Orange webmail and a couple of other applications just hang. Today I'm going to give it a good early spring clean in the hope that I can remove whatever conflicts are causing the problems.
I plan to clear out the temporary internet files folder and history and everything I can think of, including removing and re-loading stuff like Quick Time, Real Player etc. Then run Ccleaner, which our IT bloke at work recommends. Then I might even remove Internet Explorer and re-load this. Then do a disc defragmentation. Also run an AVG virus check.
Question: Is there any particular order in which I should do these things?
Another question: If I do this on my own part of Home Edition, will it also do the other two users or do I need to treat them separately?
Final question: Anything else I should do?
Thanks!
