Free Software to Clean your Windows OS: Cleano and Instant Memory Cleaner
The great thing about software is that it can be used to enhance your Windows experience, make your operating system run faster and better. The applications is propose to you are meant to delete unnecessary temp files (Cleano), and free up much needed RAM memory (Instant Memory Cleaner). If you are really into tweaking your OS you might want to check out our featured disk defragmenting tools and HDD optimization applications.
Your Windows OS stores up much data that is not exactly necessary, and this is where Cleano comes in. It allows you to clean the following: Temp files, My Recent Documents, Temporary Internet Files, unused desktop links, Windows Prefetch and Temp files, and other folders that the user specifies. All these tasks are automatically performed when you login. Cleano resembles the CCleaner tool we featured in the HDD optimization article, but there are some notable differences: the user interface is incredibly simple (translation: easy to use), and the application is portable (you can always take the .exe file, stick it onto a portable media device and use it whenever and wherever you want).
Instant Memory Cleaner does not free up HDD space, instead it frees up your RAM memory, which is vital if you want your OS to run properly. It will come in handy if your system is low on RAM and you are running Windows XP or Vista. The software works something like this: after you download and install Instant Memory Cleaner on your system, you will notice a small icon in the system tray – when the icon is light up green, it means the amount of free RAM memory you have at your disposal is grater than 30%. When the icon turns yellow or red it means that you are running low on memory – clicking on the system tray icon will open the Instant Memory Cleaner user interface which will aid you in reclaiming your RAM memory.
