Windows 7 System Maintenance Tool *Updated*
With Windows 7 Microsoft introduces a system maintenance tool. You are curious what it is doing, right?
It checks for:
- Broken shortcuts
- Unused desktop icons
Update:
- Troubleshooting history / Error reports taking up disk space
- System Timecorrection
- Disk Volume errors

Random Info: I took both screens with the new Windows 7 snipping tool, which will increase your productivity a lot. What I don’t like about it is the red border and it saves the file extension in uppercase-letters if you do not type them in.

- Clear History / Favorites / etc
- Advanced Defrag
