asked on

commands to auto clean windows XP machines

Hi there,

Are there single commands to do the following..

- turn off system restore.
- clear the temp files
- clear internet temp files.
- turn performance on..
- defrag the system after doing all these..

I don't think so...however you could run a script to perform those actions

you can try software like this to make it easier. But there are no commands to do it manually. You have to go into each program to clear those unless you using third-party software

Unless you know the scripts to be executed, I would suggest TuneUp Utilities, which has all the options you mentioned and can be scheduled to execute them, else a freeware like CCleaner.

you can make shortcuts on the desktop to start the task you want, and name it accordingly
