Top 5 little known tricks to improve the performance of your PC.
1. TAKE OUT THE TRASH
Just because you don't see it lying about doesn't mean it doesn't need to be emptied. If you use your computer daily you should do this at least twice sometimes 3 times every day.
2.Get rid of uneccessary e-mail messages.
This again is another simple but over looked memory drain on your system.
Especially if they contain personal information.
You want to focus on,
* Sent Items - Yes that means love letters
* Deleted Items - Sad but most don't.
* Junk Email - Absolutely.
3. Delete unused programs.
This one can be tricky if your relatively new to computers. If you know Exactly which programs you use and the ones you don't, I recommend you do this.
Go to Start--> control panel-->Add remove Programs.
The longer it takes for your programs to appear you have to many. Plan on making a list of your most used programs before this step, I mean all the ones you can think of. Then compare them against what you "actually" have on your system. You in for a shock I guanty it.
4. Clean your cache.
This is HUGE. This is the Toxic waste dump of every temp file you have ever downloaded onto your system. For example, your visiting Aunt Marry's website and can't really see the pictures of her and her kids, so you enlarge it, well that is a temp file and it is now lurking on your hard drive. GET RID OF IT.
If your using IE go to the toolbar click on
Tools-->Internet Options--> Select the General Tab and click Delete Files.
5. Delete your cookies.
This one wont increase a tremendous amount of speed; however not wanting Sallys shoe store knowing you prefer pink, only gets you pink shoe coupons in your email, which you have just cleaned. There is a downside be warned so read what they are.
