A very simple and totally overkill startup optimization script. Either run the script when you feel like cleaning up your computer or go the extra mile and automatically run it when your computer boots.
The normal version is just an easy and quick cleanup (useful to clean up the Windows screenshots or dump folders for example). The extended version is the admin privilege required version that, in addition to the normal version, checks for errors on the hard drive and scans for corrupt system files.
