CCleaner is a free program that specializes in deleting all your computers history, temporary internet files and cookies. If you have never ran a clean up procedure before then you will be amazed in the amount of junk this will remove.

How to delete the temporary internet files, history and cookies.

1. Download CCleaner V2.08 installation here ( Latest version as of 25/06/2008 is v2.08 ) If you would like to check for the latest version then click here http://www.ccleaner.com/download/downloading
2. Once the file has downloaded, run the installation.
3. Click Next >
4. Accept the license agreement by clicking I Agree.
5. By default the installation will install CCleaner into the program files, [RECOMMENDED] if you are happy with this click Next >
6. The installation will try to install the Yahoo Tool bar and add some Windows Shell Extensions which are not required, However if you would like to support this great program then leave the Add CCleaner Yahoo Tool bar ticked. I personally would leave it not ticked as I hate unnecessary tool bars.
   
7. Click Install.
8. Click Finish – CCleaner is now installed.
9. You can access CCleaner from the Windows Desktop or from the Start Menu.
10. On Windows Desktop the icon will appear like this.
    
11. Double click CCleaner on the Windows Desktop
12. If you want to delete all history on the computer I would recommend ticking all the boxes, ignoring the warnings and then click Run Cleaner

If you let Internet Explorer remember search information, user names or passwords then I would recommend not ticking the “Autocomplete Form History” box.

CCleaner can also be used as a registry cleaner. Click the Registry icon in the menu to use this feature.
