Computers today are used most frequently and as such they are just machines .So the computer users must do some maintaining work in order to improve their computer working speed. Below are some things which should be kept in mind with which you can avoid your computer's problems.
1.Whenever your PC boots i.e starts let all applications start properly and then start using your PC.
2.Desktop wallpaper's size should be less than 1mb.Do not set very high resolution wallpapers on your desktop.Desktop(RAM) is the working area so keep it empty and uncluttered as much as possible.
3.Each desktop short-cut occupies 500 bytes of RAM so decrease the number of short-cuts which are not needed.
4.Once in a month clear your internet , browser's cache and delete temporary internet files regularly.
5.After closing any applications refresh the desktop.These will remove the temporary unused files of that particular application from RAM.
6.Empty the recycle bin regularly. Items in the recycle bin also occupy memory, files are not removed from hard disk until you empty the recycle bin.
7.Go to START --> All programs --> Accessories --> system Tools
Use Disk defragmenter and Disk clean up once in month or a two.This frees up hard disk space and rearranges your files so that your appliactions work faster.
8. Right click on my computer on desktop --> choose properties --> Under Advanced tab
Choose performance settings and select Adjust for best performance.This will disable unnecessary visual effects.
9.Whenever you install a new software it asks whether you want tray icon?,select no or disable the tray icon.Tray icons slow down booting speed of your PC and also use RAM.Also uncheck start at boot-up so that booting speed increases.
10.The default installation directory is C:/ but it is recommended that try to free up C: drive as much as possible.So install programs in other directory.For very large programs like Photoshop and games use one drive only and for small programs use another drive.
11.Dust is also a cause for slowing down your PC so regularly protect your CPU and components from dust.Open your CPU cabinet and clean up dust regularly because when dust sticks on fan it jams it and CPU gets heated very much.
