A computer is nothing but a tool. It’s bigger than a hammer (well, most hammers), heavier than a screwdriver, and generally

less noisy than a circular saw — but is nonetheless a tool. You can do more stuff with a computer than you can with a hammer

and a screwdriver, but hammers and screwdrivers are simpler to use and easier to clean up. (Circular saws are another story;

things can get messy really fast.)

Your computer does get messy; have no doubt about it. Programs load and unload, files pop into existence and then slither off

to unknown parts of your hard drive, and spyware tries to adhere itself to your operating system. Every day your system

changes, as information is added and new demands are placed on old programs.

All these things add to the unique clutter that comes to define and weigh down your system. You can redefine your system and

free your system, all by identifying and removing the clutter. Cleaning Windows XP For Dummies shows you how.

I’m a firm believer that you should read this book out loud, while standing on the coffee table in your neighbor’s living

room. It surely will make an impression on the neighbors’ kids and free up time you previously spent going to dinner parties.

Whether you decide to read this book out loud or not, you should read the first two chapters before reading any others. Dire

consequences won’t result if you decide not to, but those chapters lay a pretty good foundation for everything else you find

in the book.

After that, read whatever strikes your fancy. You know your system better than I do. If your big problem is getting updates

to Windows XP properly, skip to Chapter 15. If instead you want to focus on archiving your data, turn to Chapter 7
