Speeding up your PC

Some tips for speeding up your pc...

Clean out files no longer required. Your system is full of unneeded
backup, log files and temporary files - why not clean them out to
create some disk space? The Disk Cleanup Wizard will do all this
and will empty the Recycle bin as well. Just select Start Menu,
Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup. Put a shortcut
to it on your desktop.

Get rid of screen savers and other effects - they are not necessary
and occupy resources. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and
choose Properties. Under the Appearance tab, turn off any items
checked such as Transitions Effects, Animated Icons etc

Do A Search For Old and Useless Files - Start/Find (or Search)/
then do a search for all these files, exactly as shown;

*.old, *.chk, *.spl, *.prv, *.000, *.bak, *.tmp

Defragment your hard disk. As you write to your hard disk, it
becomes more and more difficult to keep files stored together so
a file may be split or fragmented, over several parts of the disk.
This slows access to the files, causing the system to slow. Select
Start Menu, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter.

Get rid of screen savers - they are not necessary and occupy
resources.

These are a few very simple things you can do. Of course, there is
a lot more can be done, but this should benefit you with some kind
of performance boost...
