How to speed-up your computers performance?

1) Remove unwanted softwares.
    Go to start>control panel>add and remove programs.


 
     select and uninstall unwanted applications.


2) Delete all Temporary files.
    Go to start->run.
    Then enter “%temp%” (without quotes) and hit enter.

    


Temporary files are safe to remove. These includes internet files.


Microsoft internet explorer (IE) uses the Temporary Internet Files feature to          store copies of Web content on the local hard drive. This feature improves    network performance but can fill the hard drive with large amounts of unwanted data. IE allows many aspects of the Temporary Internet Files feature to be controlled.
While downloading any software from internet through any browser it ask for "open with" and "save to" options,in case of open with IE still downloads the data and stores it in default location called "Temporary internet files".


3) Cleanup disk.
    This will also free up your hard-drives space.
    go to my computer> right click on C drive>properties



    then go to "disk cleanup".


     click on "ok". It will then prompt "do you really want to delete these files", press ok

     
4) Defragment your drive.
    Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
Analyse each of the partitions (by right-clicking on each of the drives and selecting analyse).
Defragment the ones which requires defragmentation as shown by the message.
