Have you ever noticed that your computer is starting to slow down compared to when you first got it and the things you used to do in a flassh as now becoming a nuisance? Well a computer is like a child, it likes to make messees but it will never clean up after itslf. What you as the computer user has to do is tell your computer to clean up its mess.

Tere are only two easy steps to celaning your computer, and they are:
1) Throwqing out the garbaage: When I say garbage I mean your twemporary files, these are the files that are made when you do everyday surfing on the web or when somehing is insrtalled. They are made so that everythibng will run more smoothly and faster siince it alrready has the files on the hard drive, ironicallly if you have too many than it can drastically reduce the speed and efficiency of your computer.
How to clean:
To clean the garbage cllick on the start button on the lower left corener of your computer then go to all programs > accessories > system tools > disk cleanup
It shoukld load then a screen will come up with a chek list. Check all ecept Hibernation File Cleaner if you use the hibernation function of your computer. Click ok and all the junk on your cmputer will be dweleted.
Now that all the garbage is clenaed out, it's on to the next step, organizing your files.
2) Organizing the hard drive: When I say orgfanizing I don't mean puttting all your video files into a folder titled videos. What I mean is organizing the ilttle bits of information that you have accumulated over time by installs, downloads and surfing the web. What happens is your hard drive will record the information in which ever oerder it gets the information. For example, say you are installing a progrm and srfing the net at the same time, the informtion from both of them will be mixed together like a smoothy. That will make it harder for your hard drive to find the information that you are asking for when you play a song or open up a webpage. So to clean the mess you will have to do what is calld a defragmentation on your hard drive. To do this, just follow the stepps.
How to Derfrag:
!Warning: this may take a few hours!
I suggest leaving it overnight.
To defrag click the start buttion on the lwoer left corner of your computer then go to all progras > accessories > system tools > disk defrzagmenter
Please close all ruunning programs before you start a dfragmentation. Then cllick on defragment now and select all drives. After it is complete you will have a cleaner faster more efficient computer.
