When you uninstall a program sometimes they make a mess and do not clean up after themselves. Programs sometimes leave behind code fragments and registry settings that can slow down your computer or prevent other programs to run properly.

Microsoft’s Windows Installer CleanUp utility can clean up  the mess these programs leave behind. The program is free from Microsoft support and it can be downloaded from their support website. It will allow you to remove the messy program and allow you to reinstall the program if needed. 

The Window Installer CleanUp Utility works with all versions of Windows including Vista.

WinDirStat is a tool you can use to keep track of “who’s on first” on your hard drive.  Along with a standard directory listing, it’s also got a “treemap”, a graphical way to represent files with colored rectangles that show relative sizes of files on your system. (It may actually make more sense when you look at it than it does when you hear it described.)

Along with looking at your files, this app lets you manipulate your documents as well, with Open, Show Properties, and Delete actions built in, as well as allowing you to create your own. You can generate disk usage reports as well.
