6 Powerful ways to speed Up PC
Many perfectly good computers get junked because users are unaware of basic maintenance that needs to
be done to keep them running well.
So, if you purchased a computer that doesn’t seem to be running quite as quickly as it once did, Relax! stay cool!
Here are 6 techniques that I use to speed up my PC.
1)Scan For Viruses And Kill Them
Go back to Tips and advice and look under Security tools. Use the tools
under virus scan to scan pc.
2)Infected By Spyware And/Or Adware maybe?
Go back to Tips and advice and look under Security tools. Use the tools
under spyware scan to scan pc.
3)Defragment Regularly
Fragmented (from Defragment) simply means the file is stored in multiple places
instead of just one as it should be. This is what computer people like to call
a contiguous location. Different parts of the file are scattered across the hard disk
in noncontiguous pieces. Click HERE for the steps.
4)Clean Out Your System Tray
This is often one of the biggest culprits of lousy performance. Every time you boot up indows XP Home system (which takes forever),
heaps of icons appear in your system tray.
FYI, the system tray is located in the bottom right corner of the screen. Yours might even have a little arrow that, if you click it,
will expand the box, showing you a whole bunch of icons you couldn’t see before. That’s probably a good indication that you have a cluttered system tray.
All of those programs are sitting in your memory, probably not doing much of anything besides slowing down your computer.
ok, How do i clean? Right click on each icon to find out what each item is, then decide if you really need it running in the background, or if it is something
you can get away with running only when you need to use it. Once you figure out which programs you can get rid of, you might have to search around for the
option to shut them off. Many programs have an option that will allow you to stop them from running at startup. Others might require you to delete
them from the Startup Folder under your Start, Programs menu (looking at the Startup folder is another good way to find out what programs are running
without your knowledge).
If you aren't sure what a program is or does, take the time to research it. Don't make hasty decisions about what to keep and what to discard.
Instead, try to learn more about the application. Begin by right-clicking the program's icon, clicking Properties,
and clicking the General tab; you might find clues to the application's purpose here.
5)Clean up PC's browser
Web page address's are stored in a file called Temporary Internet Files, temporary files are stored onto the hard drive of
your computer to help speed up your web surfing.
Now that you have been surfing the internet for many weeks, months or years and having never or rarely performed this action,
If you have a small hard drive,
you could imagine how FULL and slowed down your computer could get.
This is a Necessary regular maintenance step that should be performed after heavy
internet surfing and by the we mean anything over 20 pages you have surfed for several days.
Some simple steps you can take to clean out the clutter are to empty your Internet temporary files.
1)Delete Temporary internet files

History, Form data and Passwords. Click on "Delete files" under the "Temporary Internet Files" heading.
6)Download The Latest Drivers
Software you run in your computers always change. The programs sold today will not be as good to compare with the programs that will come out next week.
