Clean It is a simple, easy to use application that is designed
to remove temporary Internet and System files from your computer.
Overview:
`~~~~~~~~
As you browse the Internet temporary files are downloaded to your
computer so that the browser may display the web page. Although
removing these temp files is not really necessary it does have its
advantages. For starters, it will ensure that you receive the
latest copy of your favorite web pages. The second advantage is
it will free your browser of the task at hand. This will not only
increase it's performance, but it eliminate the dreaded hang time
we all experience when it's time to clean up the cache.
There are of course other considerations, such as cookies and
your history file. Although these are vital while browsing, they
are not really needed. You do not need to save your cookies to
re-enter your bank the next day. If this were the case you would
not be able to enter in the first place. As for your history file,
do you want people to know where you've been? Do you even check
it to see where you just were? The history file serves it purpose
while browsing. It tells the browser what links you have selected
so you can see them visually from the web page. If you visit the
same sites everyday chances are these sites are updated everyday
so there is no need to save a history file. If you visit different
sites, then it has no purpose once you log off the Internet.
Finally, there are temporary files placed on your system by the
applications you run and from Windows itself. As these will build
up over time, it's best to delete them on a regular basis. Once
more, Windows also keeps a history file of the associated files
you open - this is your recent document list that is under your
Start menu. Although it's not really necessary to delete these
small shortcuts, it's just the question of do you want people to
know what you're doing?
And of course a cleaning program would not be complete if it didn't
take out the trash. The recycle bin does serve its purpose, but for
the most part it's just taking up unnecessary disk space that we all
need to download more utilities, games, and screen savers!
This is where Clean It comes. It will allow you to select and clean
these files with a simple touch and go interface. On start up it
will select all the areas that need to be cleaned, from there all
you need to do is uncheck those areas that you really don't want
to clean today and hit the clean button - that's it. Of course you
can hide it in the system's tray if you get the urge to do some
cleaning later.
In closing I would like to say that Clean It does not do Windows
like some other utilities, but it will take out the trash!
