Simple ways to help speed up your slow computer

Have you noticed that your computer is running very slow? These are some ways to help speed up a slow computer.

these are some areas that you can look at by doing a simple search.

first thing is to find out what operating system you are running

e.g Windows 98, ME , XP , VISTA

I have been using all these systems & most of the search areas are the same.

If you have one of these operating systems then in the start area you may want to type these

%temp%  , TEMP , PREFETCH

These three commands will clean out the hidden temp file's

after you see the files then hold down the CTRL + A  button & click delete.

This should help your system a lot.

 The first thing to do is follow these simple steps.

1: Click on the start menu using your left hand click on the mouse

2: locate the search icon

if you have done this correct then the picture above is what you will be looking at.

Now that you have come this far is great.

No if you can see the Arrow "pointing to All Files and Folders"

left click this & a new box will appear

Now that you have got to this area, the search begins

1: in the top box type this "  ( *.tmp ) without the brackets

2: where it says look in. click on the drop down arrow & click My Computer

3: where it says More Avanced Options click this

4: within this box you will see " search hidden files and folders" put a tick in this box

5: Click Search

This box will now be displaying any files that had the extension *.tmp that you typed into find within My Computer

any files that you see in the above picture can be removed

1: click on the top file so that it changes color to a blue

2: now hold down the shift button on your keyboard & click the bottom file

3: if you have done this correct then all files would have changed to a blue colour

4: hit delete to remove.

5: restart computer to see if it starts any faster.

if your computer is still running slow then is may be infected with either spyware or have a virus. if this is the problem then there are many free anti spyware programs including virus scanners on the net to download.
