9 Ways To Increase Computer Speed

9 ways, arranged in a sequence such that it will help improve computer speed and let it work without complaining:

1. You will need to delete those emails that are not in use from your system. This may be basic but surprisingly they are people who are always complaining, but who refuse to dump years and years of accumulated e-mail.

2. Get a good anti virus program (get only one), have it up to date, and auto monitoring.

3. Get a good anti spy ware program (get only one), have it up to date, and auto monitoring.

4. Run Disk Clean Up Daily to make sure that the unused datas will not use up your hard drive space (click Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Disk Clean Up – a box opens – make sure each box is checked, click ‘OK’ – a box pops up – Click Yes).

5. Delete Cached Files and cookies Daily (click ‘Start’> Control Panel> Internet Options – a pop up box will appear – Delete Cookies, Click OK, Click Delete Files – check ‘Delete All Offline Content’ – Click OK, Now Set Your Clear History to no more than 7 Days – Click OK) This will help to improve computer speed when you get onto the internet.

6. A very important step almost everyone misses: Empty The Prefetch Folder (Click start> My Computer> C > Windows > Open Prefetch Folder > Select All(Ctrl+A) and press Delete – pop up box appears – Click Yes, Close Windows Window)
This will improve computer speed greatly.

7. Go to desktop and empty your Reycle Bin. This will make sure your computer have enough space to run programs as well as improve computer speed.

8. Scan Hard Drive ‘C’ (Start, My Computer, Right Click ‘C’ – box opens – Click Properties at the bottom – another box opens – Click Tools, Click Check Now, Make sure both ‘Automatically fix file system errors’ and ‘Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors’ are checked, Click Start)
This might take some time, so you can watch tv or do something else while it finishes. You will find your computer speed becoming much faster after that.

9. Defrag Your System (Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter – window opens – Select ‘C’ Drive, Click Defragment).
Again, this might take some time, go and do something else to kill your waiting time.
