Sisrace you have gotten some great suggestions that have worked for thousands. So I will say it a little different.
From you post#8
i got the full version of ashampo winoptimizer 8 so why not use it.

Simple answer; it's junk. Windows doesn't want or need a 3 rd party optimizer.

If your food is spoiled you don't eat it just because you paid for it. You throw it away. I whole heartily recommend removing winoptimizer for ever. Concider it a lesson learned.

BACK UP/BACK UP
If your hard drive is making excessive mechanical noise back up everything you want to keep just in case of failure. Sometimes a hard drive will go belly up during a test.
Then do your hard drive test. If it was my hard drive making a lot of mechanical noises I would just plan on replacing it. No computer programs can fix a mechanical failure.

I use Windows 7 built in defrager. It puts things where Windows 7 wants them not where some 3rd party program wants them. I have tested many defrag programs and they all do it a little different and their is always a little something that doesn't get moved. My thoughts are they shouldn't or don't need moved.

Please keep in mind that Windows 7 is not like the older Windows operating systems. Windows 7 has many built in programs that work great and therefor don't need a lot of 3 rd party programs. I do use Ccleaner and have for years. When used correctly it does a fine job.
Another clean up tool built into Windows 7 that works very well is.

Yeah, I've tried to tell him that myself but to no avail. I like your way better But I betcha he'll come back and swear by it later

Okey. I have been on this forum for a bit now. i was totaly wrong about what i thought. i thought it was like a normal forum where a lot of people dont now what theyre talking about. i was wrong. you guys are awsome and i liked win optimizer becouse my dad said it was good. i trusted him and now im here Only uses the program now to remove programs from autostart. thats a thing its good at. and to burn stuff you dont need it totaly destroys a unwhanted program. dont gonna risk it by using it...
