In your ROOT Directory

    Anything with the extensions:


     *.TXT
     *.PRV
     *.LOG
     *.OLD
     *.---
     *.DOS (unless you use the dual-boot feature)

In your WINDOWS directory

    Anything with the extensions:

         *.LOG
         *.OLD
         *.---
         *.BAK
         *.000
         *.001
         *.002 (and so on...)


Any files with the following dates can also be deleted, for they belong to old
versions of Windows:


     03-10-92 - Windows 3.1
     09-30-92 - WIndows for Workgroups 3.1
     11-01-93 - Windows for Workgroups 3.11
     12-31-93 - Windows 3.11

     Do a search (Start Menu -> Find -> Files or Folders) and search for
     any *.BMP and *.TXT files in the Windows 95 directory. Use QuickView
     to view them, and delete them if desired.

Anywhere on your system:


     Other files that can be deleted include MSCREATE.DIR (useless hidden
     files created by Microsoft installation programs - there may be
     hundreds of these empty files on your hard disk)

     Any directory names, ~MSSETUP.T - this is a temporary directory
     created during the installation of a program, and can be freely
     deleted once the installation is complete.


Wallpaper:


     Delete any of the wallpaper (.bmp) files in your C:\Windows that
     don't particularly strike your fancy.
