Speed up your computer
- Empty your recycle bin.
- Go to your control panel and then internet options. On that options page, delete your history, cookies, and temporary internet files (cache).
- Run disk cleanup (usually in start, programs, accessories system tools, disk cleanup).
- Run a defrag by going to start and run. In the run box, type in the following (only the stuff in bold): defrag c: -f. You can also defrag by selecting it from the aforementioned system tools directory.
- Remove spyware by running a spyware scan with Windows Defender, Spybot, or many others listed on filehippo.com.
- Remove unnecessary startup programs by going to start and run and typing msconfig in the run box. Once in msconfig, go to the startup options and uncheck any programs you don’t want to automatically startup (anti-virus and anti-spyware programs should be enabled). If you don’t know what something is, simply google it. Hit OK or accept or yes.
- Restart.
