Delete ARPCache + Boot Optimization Defrag + Process Idle Tasks?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I've seen that CCleaner Clears the DNS Cache, why not clear the ARP cache as well?

Maybe something like this might give a hint:

Netsh Interface IP Delete ARPCache

 

And, why not add a Boot Optimization Defrag, that speeds up the boot up process?

This might give a hint:

defrag \ -b

 

Last but least, why not Process Idle Tasks, to clear the RAM?

This is might give a hint on this one:

rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks

 

Kind regards,

Vemo

:)

Boot defrag is not the job of ccleaner

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

The ProcessIdleTasks trick is bogus. It won't clear the memory or whatever ;)

 

True it has nothing to do really do with memory. Using it will only cause most defrag programs to completely undo any "file placement optimizations" it's performed making it redundant to use. I personally disable it via Microsoft Tweak UI.

 

Also "defrag -b" is undocumented by Microsoft, yet it's all over third-party "tweak" sites as some "boot optimization," personally I've tried it before and I noticed no difference.
