Faster Computer! Woot!
My 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.
