Spring PC Maintanance

A healthy PC is a faster PC.

This guide will show you how to clean up your system properly so it will run faster, and therefore you can be more productive with it.

1) Open up Add/Remove programs from the Control Panel, and uninstall every program you don't use. Surely you don't need 5 different media players, or 3 document viewers, etc.

2) Clean up your desktop! Your desktop isn't your personal folder! Delete all of the extra icons. You don't need Adobe Reader, or similar things there.

3) Open Accesories->System Tools->Disk Cleanup, and let it do it's job. Delete everything it finds.

4) Install http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download. And do a registry cleanup with it.

5) Clean up your personal files. Organize them, delete the trash, etc.

6) Open Accesories->System Tools->Disk Defragmenter and defragment your drives

7) Do a virus scan.

And your all done. Your system will now run better. Maybe it won't be as fast as you'd expect, but it surely run smoother.
