to ALL re: DISK CLEANUP TIP

Heh.
|
||
|
|
I needed to clean up my system disk. I had about 350 programs in it,
|
||
|
|
i.e. little (and some not so little) utilities, bat files, etc.
|
||
|
|
I was trying to figure how to clean it up without removing something
|
||
|
|
important or having to stare at each name.
|
||
|
|
I finally decided to create an .\unused subdir under the directory
|
||
|
|
(called \sys\bin), and move all my files to it, then move back the
|
||
|
|
ones I KNOW I use a lot.
|
||
|
|
The first day, I kept getting errors as things I use weren't there -
|
||
|
|
so I popped into TREEVIEW to move what was missing back.
|
||
|
|
The next day only a few showed up - fewer and fewer each day.
|
||
|
|
So now, I've got about 75 files in my directory, and 275 in the
|
||
|
|
.\unused directory!
|
||
|
|
Seems to be working out just fine!

Sounds good - but what if you had two progams with the same name?
|
||
|
|
Then you'd still have the second one, but.! Of course, I expect you
|
||
|
|
keep backups :-). My solution to staring at file names is to
|
||
|
|
use 4DOS's description function so that I have a description
|
||
|
|
for all of my files that are 'non-obvious' - \bin\util,
|
||
|
|
\bin\graphics, etc. The description comes up when I do DIR,
|
||
|
|
and is also present if I use select del (*.*) to do some up-
|
||
|
|
cleaning.
|
||
|
|

Msg 45971
|

|
|
01 ? > What if you had two programs with the same name?
|
||
|
|
02 ? I don't get it. How could I? I moved ALL my executable utilties
|
||
|
|
03 ?down to a \sys\bin\unused, then move 'em back as I need 'em.
|
||
|
|
04 ? matter of fact I wrote a little "I.bat" that looks first for a .COM,
|
||
|
|
05 ?then a .EXE, then a .BAT, and if finding one, moves it back from
|
||
|
|
06 ?...unused to \sys\bin.
|
||
|
|
07 ? You say your solution is to use 4DOS's description function -
|
||
|
|
08 ?my problem isn't that I don't know what they are - it is that it
|
||
|
|
09 ?would be a big process to sort thru 300 executable programs trying to
|
||
|
|
10 ?decide which you really use. With my trick, if you try to use it,
|
||
|
|
11 ?you have to "bring it back" from the ...\unused directory.
|
||
|
|
12 ? Actually, I have MEGABYTES to clean up on another system - but
|
||
|
|
13 ?it is not a matter of not knowing what it is, it is a matter of
|
||
|
|
14 ?trying to decide what to keep. I have a large neough hard disk that
|
||
|
|
15 ?I've become a pack rat - I have Turbo C, 1.0, 20, Turbo C++, Borland
|
||
|
|
16 ?C++, etc. Actually, the only one I use it Turbo C 2.0, so I'm
|
||
|
|
17 ?wondering if I should just "Blow the others away". But then again
|
||
|
|
18 ?might be nice to keep 'em around in case I "grow" into C++..
