One hobby of mine was to clean-up my computer, to make it faster and better.

It was done literally and on the software level. As such, for my own personal computer, it started with the ritual computer formatting, before I upgraded to disk ghosting method. Disk defragmentation was the alternative to extreme clean-up, while registry flushing were done when critical problems were ‘felt’ that does not warrant having to format or de-ghost the disk.

The same thing that I wanted to do with the office laptop, but I know best not to attempt it as what I have done to my personal property. It was in a bad shape because I tinker too much with the operation (was trying my best to disable some pre-installed services). Luckily, my request for operation system reset and data backup was approved and entertained.

Here I am with a working laptop – clean and clear, and a fast one at that.

Now I need to control myself from tinkering it again.
