I used to regularly reinstall every thing too, not because of crap, but usually because I'd stuff something up so badly, it was the only way I could fix it. Now I've not done that for almost two years and do a backup image of my C drive, so when I screw something up, I can go back to a previous image backup. The only problem I have now is I can't access the windows update site properly, even Microsoft couldn't fix the problem. They tried and stuffed things up even more so I told them to forget about it. Automatic updates still works. I got a great little prog called AntiMalware and it cleaned out one Gig of crap.   LOL

Anyway thanks again.   :-)
