How to make your computer faster

Maintaining your computer is very important step to make compute run faster.
Learn How to make your computer faster for free following these simple steps at least once a week:
  • Clean your Internet Browser history files, temporary files and fix your computers registry errors.
    I recommend using Ccleaner that can be downloaded from piriform.com website.
    Cleaning can be done manually form your computer and Internet Browser but it takes much longer.
    Also do not forget to uninstall programs you don't need. Read more under Windows7-Cleanup from navigation menu.
  • Next step is to Defragment your Hard Drive.
    Defragmenting is simply rearranging data on your Hard Drive so it can be located faster.
    This doesn't need to be used all the time but running it once in a while will certain help out.
    For this process you can use Windows integrated application or you can download one from the Internet. Choice is yours but I am using Defraggler that can be found on piriform.com
    To use Windows for this process go to My Computer- Right mouse click on Local Hard Drive and chose properties. Click Defragment disk under Tools Tab.
  • Check your Hard Drive for errors.
    This process is very important since Windows is stored to your local Hard Drive. If for some reasons you have damage, errors or bad sectors on you disk, this can be very useful to fix those issues.
    Error checking should be used more often to prevent any errors on your Hard Drive.
    Disk Error checking is located under Tools Tab same as defragmnentation. You should check both options, to automatically fix errors and bad sectors. If you are doing error checking for hard disk where Windows is installed than you will have to "Schedule Disk Check" and restart your computer.
    Important: Restart your computer and don't press any key, once error checking process is complete Windows will start automatically.
  • This step is about Windows appearance and just by adjusting some visual effects you can drastically change your computers performance. Since I already covered this in older post you can read this under Windows7  - Optimization - Speed Up Windows7
    Effects like Windows aero and Windows desktop slideshow can make your computer slower, depending on your hardware specifications.
