One thing that is often overlooked, and can have a negative affect on your computer’s performance,
are all the files that are in the TEMP directory. I’ve had quite a few people ready to get new computers until this was cleaned.
These are easy to clean and slightly different in Win9x and Windows2000 or WindowsXP
Windows98
Open up a DOS prompt
CD \windows\temp (make sure you are in that directory before running the next line.
Run deltree /y *.*
CD \windows
Run del *.tmp (be very careful of the spelling)
Windows2000 / WindowsXP
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\User_Name\Local Settings\Temp (where User_Name is replaced by the person who is logged in)
Delete all the files

The plastic case that houses the PC components can be cleaned with a lint free cloth that has been slightly dampened with water. For stubborn stains, add a little household detergent to the cloth. It is recommended that you never use a solvent cleaner on plastics.
Make sure all vents and air holes are hair and lint free by rubbing a cloth over the holes and vents. It is also helpful to take a vacuum around each of the hole, vents, and crevices on the computer. It is safe to use a standard vacuum when cleaning the outside vents of a computer, however if you need to clean the inside of the computer, use a portable battery powered vacuum to prevent static electricity.
