Jimmyrdotcom: extensions and themes. firefox KO

soreality: ever heard of widgets? and there are themes for opera too.

each has its strength though... I use both ^_^

DMXell: Don't forget that Javascript extensions. They work just like Firefox extensions but without all the security flaws, plus we also have Widgets [as you said, yet another and arguably better extension type in some cases] and about -188 [minus 188] security flaws.

DMXell: Two types of extensions xtensions, themes, better security security, better web standards (Acid 2), etc. Opera pwns Firefox Jimmy.

rayoline: when it's done cleaning up in the end a box pops up and it says if i download the real version instead of the demo i would have deleted so so many files (which is the files it says it just cleaned). did it clean it or not?

jimmyrcom: the programs I show are all freeware, not demo versions you might have clicked the sponsored ads rather than the ones I recommended

DieByWolf: i have a freaking virus in my computer(im on a laptop) and im wondering what would happen if i downloaded windows cleaner and cleaned everything??
because i really want to clean EVERYTHING on my computer but since i have a virus i dont think i can...plus i dont have a recovery disc.

jimmyrcom: cleanup doesnt have a magic antivirus. download antivir, clamav, spybot search and destroy, and adaware, then edit your startup / non microsoft services with start - run - msconfig

iamjames2: "Find the biggest files on your computer ordered by size."

treesize has been doing this for about 10 years now. It does it WITHOUT running in the background like your stupid "Folder Size for Windows" does. No one needs crap like that constantly running in the background consuming resources to update every time you download another megabyte.

jimmyrcom: hadn't heard of it but sounds like the same. Folder size isn't at all heavy on resources and only starts scanning when you have it enabled / when you open a folder. Caching takes away the point and it's easy to just uncheck =P.

hopeitsgewd: funny adding more space to take some out :p

videowatcher06: I ran the Cleanup! utility and cleaned 1.0Gig of crap. Not a big deal, since i have 480Gigs.... but still nice!!

mitdylan: Hey Jimmy,
do a tut on faster defragmentation.
I like to use Power Defragmenter.
also thank you for windows cleanup.

mitdylan: I forgot to add i subscribed.
please respond to me about the Defragmentation

jimmyrcom: I like a program called perfect disk for defragmenting because it has a smart placement that actually orders the fragments by use and you can run it in the background while you're using your comp. I don't think I have much to say about defragementing though. I don't like the default one in windows.

mitdylan: thanks.
the reason I asked about it is because you made this tutorial for faster disk cleanup,so you might as well do one about defragmentation.
perfect disk appears to cost money by the way.
oh well,I'll just use frost wire to get it.
Thanks again jimmyrcom.

thedrkness1925: will this make the PCSX2 run faster? more frames per second(s)?

thedrkness1925: if i run a scan disk and will that make my PCSX2 run faster..???

jimmyrcom: -_- you're hopeless. This has nothing to do with pcsx2

thedrkness1925: calm down .. dont need to get all a-hole mode.. i was just asking if it would help the cpu run faster

nikhilbk1: hey, theres another called trashit uninstaller. Ive been usin it since 2001!

nikhilbk1: Also, for the last part. One cud search 4 "*.*" within a folder and then sort by filesize.

Gylipther: Nice video dude. But, I would add one more useful app. It's called WinDirStat. It visually shoves you your files by colored rectangles... The bigger the rectangle - the bigger the file. And every extension has its own color.

Cheers!

llod206: CCleaner has bundled crap on it. Get a previous version which doesn't not have bundled crap on it.

jimmyrcom: you can uncheck the box cant you

llod206: i can but i won't. installing bundled crap is against my religion. one time at band camp, I install a program with bundled crap and despite me unticking the bundled crap--it still installed. that bundled crap was called zango or zanga or some damn thing.

connerthomas: Zango Toolbar Is Crap So Don't Download It

tysonxguitar: Thanks that Windows CleanUp program freed a lot of space on my computer

Bk187O: "I misspelled cleaner, because I'm retarded."

Compgenius999: jimmy u said it wrong u said cccleaner its pronounced see-cl-ee-ner check downloaddotcom

meisterllama: Cool video! I'd just like to add that I'm a visual person, so I find that SpaceMonger is also a good alternative for seeing which files take up the most space. I would post a link but I can't figure out how to do that on youtube.

willabbot: i like cleanup's noise when it deletes a file :)

pokemonlovermand: uh.. cant you also use windows to delete those things?

TheIshter: My parents' what?

SQaudiophile: When you cleanup your recycle bin the files get pushed towards the end of the hard drive and not really "deleted" right? how do you clean those files so that your drive can't be "un-deleted"?

SQaudiophile: In other words, how do you delete deleted files?
