Shailesh, your article was very helpful. I particularly appreciate the screenshots, since I need visuals to get a good understanding. It has always been difficult for me to determine what files are unwanted. I have a fear of deleting a core system file, so I tend to rely on registry cleaning software for that. Seems like this could be a disaster if the wrong file got deleted.
Thanks Sam….just remember one thing, if the file is inside any of the system folders such as System32, Windows etc, do not delete them.
