Sorry, I don’t have any info on Dustbuster. But if you’re interested in a program than can delete LOTS of junk files, (and want to know what they are) go here: Delindex.bat

There is an alternative in the form of Window Washer, which not only shows you what it is deleting but you can also specify what not to delete (plus it's in English). I use it roughly once a month to get rid of cookies etc.

I'll be your Huckleberry!....I got dang near 3/4 of a gig back...My system runs faster, and so far no sign of anything wrong...So far!...I will most certainly let you know if something fails to operate or if something vital is missing..Still, I wish it would delete to the trash bin or something so I could look over what it dumped...No complaints at this time, at all! Regards, Hal

Just so you know, Dustbuster deletes every "Readme.txt" on your hard drive. It's a fair guess that HAL 8000 never used Delindex.bat. Also, does Dustbuster delete Index.dat files?

0

RM, you are so right, I have not used your Delindex.bat yet..I do have it down loaded and am planning on trying it..I have been useing "cleanall", and I delete index.dat by hand...DB does not clean index.dat....I don't think I have ever reread a readme..I thought I was doing a good job of getting rid of them upon instalation..Guess not.. Maybe I'll (we) will be sorry in the long run for useing DB, but at the moment, it looks glorious.. Regards, Hal

Col Its also in English but nothing worth reading here it is http://casper.wintricks.it/english/index.html DustBuster 2.6.2 is a garbage file removing utility for Microsoft Windows operating systems. It searches for junk files and temp files that are of no use and are just taking space on your hard drive. Based on a "fuzzy logic" scanning technology, DustBuster cleans over 700 different types of useless temporary files and directories in a single click, detecting and deleting all these unneeded garbage files automatically. This will increase hard disk space on Windows 98/ME/2000/XP. The integrated SensibleScan search engine does not interfere with system files or installed applications: it gives you the freedom to clean up disk space simply and securely in no time, enhancing your system's performance, so you can focus on what's important to you. Comparative chart DustBuster analyzes in full automatic mode the content of your hard drive, and finds and deletes a wide range of files while safeguarding the integrity of the operating system and the installed applications. No configuration is required as DustBuster is developed for reducing the interaction with the user. Enjoy the power of cleaning on Windows 98 Second Edition, Millennium Edition, 2000 Professional and Server, XP Home and Professional. Please make sure you are not using any program listed in the Compatibility blacklist. DustBuster version 2.7 conforms to the operational standards established by Microsoft for the operation on Windows XP: a further strong guarantee, although the complete compatibility with the new operating system is already guaranteed with the version 2.6.1.

This is from Dustbusters' "Warning.txt": -Is it true that all the files with extension .txt will be removed? DustBuster identifies and removes README.TXT and EULA.TXT, whose proliferation on a hard disk is unacceptable. Statistically these files are ignored by the user, so they can be eliminated without problems. Almost all other .TXT files will be ignored.

WOW...good to know that if I did do something wrong, I am not going out alone :)

0

I knew this would run on and on.. Great ! Thanks Les, for your Time to give us a run down... i havent installed it yet..HeHeHe been talking to Hal 8000.. he says his PC is running like the wind.. I will do it, but lordy.. if it goes wrong.. I'll be up all night, thats for sure. as erg57 said.. We'll all go out together.. Like RM.. I'm a bit weary.. But here goes Col

0

erg57, either we hang togeather, or surely we will hang seperatly... Col, it's more like a bat out of Dell... This DustBuster, maybe the cat's meow, but for those thinking of trying it, give it a couple of days for erg57, Tom, maybe Col now, others, and myself to report back to you all..This could save you from reformating..Remember, there is no undo file with this... Regards, Hal

0

I did it.. ran Analysis tests ok.. Ran DX test (Reg) OK Speed increase.. 5 X Cant fault it.. But.. I reckon you can kiss goodbye to system restore. Apart from that. Great. Col

0

Col, looking at restore I have one check point..Today...All of the rest are gone..You might have a good point..Maybe a fair amount of the memory gain is in wiping out your restore points...erg57, Tom, check out your restore and let us know what you have, would you...Note, I have a max set on my restore at 200 mb's and I gained over 3 times that... Regards, Hal

0

Thought so.. Ahh well, Least it works still.. Dont say i didnt warn you.. Still worth running dustbuster.. If i ever feel i need to use restore i sigh and format. Talk later Hal... My comp is running very well by the way.. dont be put off, its a minor detail.. Col

0

I checked Restore and I tyill have all of my restore points. I think this is a resounding success. I have run every and time analytical tool I could muster and everything points to fine with this dustbuster. Thanks to Tom and Col and other for looking into dustbuster. by the by, I have run it five more times and drfragged. Defrag takes forever agter doing this because as one saidf earlier, your HD does look like swiss cheese.

0

Thanks.. After first defrag it should sail through the next.. I get the swiss cheese bit !! erg57.. do you use End It All ?? that will help you even more (Defragging) Post your email and i'll send version 1 to you.. But if anyone knows where he can get the original !! Col

0

I have never heard of "end it all". I would love to check it out, Col. Thanks Eric

Sorry, that was supposed to be a hyperlink. EndItAll2

Hi RM, How do you find E.I.A 2...??? I find E.I.A 1 to work better.. Version 2 seems to take longer when you hit restart...I think V 1 is easier for beginners. You may disagree,you usually do with me.. Truce !! Regards, Col

I haven't tried it yet. My system runs fine without it. Disagreement on fact or principle is one thing, but ad hominem arguments because of disagreement is quite another. I like this forum for its differences in experience, expertise, and even temperament and sense of humor. I am willing to take the heat for mistakes in fact or attitude, but I think flaming someone because we don't agree with them generally, personally, or otherwise is not right. But, hey, I have no control over that, do I? And, IMHO, cross thread flaming sucks, as in "because you didn't like what I said about... [in another thread] that's why you don't agree with me now." BS. Certain subjects lend themselves to certain answers, although there are differences of opinion about that, too. Look at this thread: http://www.computing.net/windowsme/wwwboard/forum/20700.html And look at responses #12-16 here: http://www.computing.net/windows95/wwwboard/forum/105218.html Set ’em up! Can’t we all just get along?

RM, of course we can, its just computers. Hey, i am a friendly guy, I was told you are to.. clue .. "what you do when you are tired of computing and what you do when you are tired of computing .. ???? Rm.. you are sharp. work it out.. How do i run delindex.. Col.. Was delindex the name ?? sorry Dude Col
