			<description>If you have a few selected sites that you go to frequently (such as Geeks) you can speed up the time required to access those sites with your host file. Using this file will create a DNS server within your system that is accessed much faster than the DNS servers on the web. This was my favorite tweak when I used dial up.

Customizing this tool can save a lot of time for those who copy / paste a lot of stuff, or perform tasks repeatedly. If nothing else, you can clean out the stuff from the context menu that you never use.

			<dc:creator>Repa</dc:creator>
			<description>When you ask Windows to empty the temp files in &quot;disk cleanup&quot; it never seems to listen. This is because it is limited to deleting only those files that are more than a week old. This registry tweak will correct that and allow you to completely empty the file, or to set a more reasonable limit. 



By altering the LastAccess value in the registry, you can configure the Disk Cleanup utility to delete all the files in the Temp folder regardless of the last accessed date. Here's how:  ...</description>

The only thing that happens is that the &quot;pointer&quot; to the deleted files is removed and the space on the hard disk is marked as available to put new data. But until new data is put in the same location as the deleted data, the deleted data remains on the hard disk and can be recovered by hackers and  ...</description>
