Faster Computer! Woot!
BubblegumMy computer has been ultra slow for quite a while. I wondered why it was so slow since I ran the Disk Defragmenter and emptied my private data in Firefox. Then I watched this video on YouTube, and realized I had a ton of Temp files, so I deleted all the ones that could be deleted, and emptied my recycle bin which had exactly 2000 files not including subdirectories inside folders. Yeah I know. I should have done this before, and I should probably do it more often, but I always leave stuff there in case I want to retrieve it again. I also downloaded Faster Fox. I don't know if that helped much, but overall my computer is faster. Oh yeah and I also organized my files in My Computer since that was a mess. Now I feel like I've accomplished something.

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that after deleting temp files, I discovered an easier way of deleting unused files. I could have totally used Disk Cleanup. Also, there were other ways to make your computer faster here. I thought that article was very helpful.

If you have any tips on making your computer faster, please share them with me.

Weather:   55°F to 46°F, clear with a chance of showers, humidity: 60%, Wind: S at 16 mph

Yaya! Faster computers are always important. Mine is horrible, I have to delete things all the time because I have so little memory space left - stupid old computer anyway =p

If I think of any others, I will certainly let you know xD

Do you have a program that searches for and gets rid of spy-ware and ad-ware? They can slow down your computer if you have a lot of them.
