Using Tweak UI
if you haven't got TweakUI yet you can grab it [here]

Using Xteq Systems X-Stepup
Now we all know about TweakUI's [quirks] and I myself have managed to acquire a rather unusual one that appears to be particularly fond of my computer (meaning very few others have suffered the same problem!) what is it you ask? Clear Find Files... it just doesn't do it! Now I'm not too fussed about this as personally I run the majority of my tweaks through [Xteq Systems X-Stepup] which leads me to the following....
Open Xteq X-Setup
Expand Appearance
Expand Start Menu
Expand Clear
Select Clear Items
Hit Clear Run Commands
Clear Found Files
Clear Found Computers
Clear Recent Documents
or
Select Clear Items (W2K/WME)
Hit Clear Text Search
Clear Found Files
or
Select Clear Items on Logoff
Check Clear Items on Logoff

while your in Xteq X-Setup
Expand Internet
Expand Internet Explorer
Expand Other
Select Clear Items
Hit Clear Typed URL's
Hit Clear Radio Buttons


Using Disk CleanUp (Windows ME)
cleans up your....

Access Disk Clean by
On the Task Bar hit Start
Select Programs
Select Accessories
Select System Tools
Click Disk CleanUp
Select the Drive you want to Cleanup
Hit OK
Once the scan is complete select the Folders you want to delete. If you're unsure what the folder stores and whether you should delete it then select the text of the folder and check out the Description box.
Hit Ok

That bit's done....but you're not finished yet Select the More Options tab
Windows Components hit Cleanup
This will give you the Windows Setup tab (Control Panel>Add/Remove Progarms) from there select any bits and bobs you no longer need.
Installed Programs hit Cleanup
This gives you the option of removing programs you no longer use. Personally I recommend you use Add/Remove Pro instead but it's up to you.
System Restore hit Cleanup
This gives you the option of reducing the space you have allocated for System Restore. For more information on System Restore go [HERE] Once you've made you choices and changes flip back to the Disk Cleanup tab
Hit OK
At the confirmation prompt hit Yes
another way to access Disk Cleanup is...
