Simple small steps to make computer fast - Part 1

Lot of files tends to accumulate in the computers over a period of time and slow their speed, like:

• Clear up recently used files via “Start Menu->Settings->Task Bar & Start Menu->Start Menu Tab->Customize button->Clear button of recent documents etc”

• Periodically review the files stored and created in the hard disk, delete unnecessary ones Files deleted go to the “Recycle Bin”, which should be emptied periodically

• It may have happened that the computer shut down improperly (power cut) and scanning by windows fixes files and creates files (*.chk), which can be deleted if not required.

• Use “Disk Cleanup” and “Disk Defragmentor”, both in “Programs->Accessories->System Tools”
