Slow computers often cause irritation for users. The user wants fast response form computer but it is unable to. As the day progresses the computer becomes slower and slower. Many of times it is not the hardware problem that causes this slowness. This all happens because of the windows temp files, disk fragmentation, and huge log files etc.
Many of us don’t know what these technical terms are. Temp files are those which are created by the operating system during its critical processes such a software installation, backups, system related process etc. These temporary files have huge sizes and have considerable effects on the performance of your computer. Another problem is disk fragmentation, when we copy and delete files from hardisk, the hardisk is separated into fragments. Fragments are nothing but parts of a huge file stored on different physical location on a physical drive. So when we request to read such file it takes time to open it.
Windows provides various utilities to overcome these problems. Such utilities are Disk Defrag, Scandisk etc. To speed up your PC here are some guidelines which when followed once in a month keeps you computers performance consistent.
- Open Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Defrag and Run it once in a month.
- Scan your disk with the scandisk utility provides and also with any antivirus solution.
- Clear temp files. Temp files are stored in temp folder which can be open as Start->run-> and type ‘temp’ and press OK
- Create Restore Point once in a month to restore your system at any previous date.
