Is your computer speed similar to that of the speed when you bought it? If your answer is No, then it is time to do some cleanup and tuning to speed up your computer. Over time after using many programs in your computer and deleting some files, the file structure is not that much organized in your computer. Fragments of files would be scattered across the hard disk and it takes time for the computer to get it together. To ease this process you have to run the de-fragment tool so that the files are organized properly.
Apart from this you should check up the startup programs that load behind the scenes. This is also the cause for slowing down the computer. You can use the disk cleanup tool to recover some of the space computer which has junk information. Use the ?disk cleanup? tool for this purpose. Use the ?Add or Remove programs? in the control panel and remove the unnecessary programs which you do not use. Use the ?msconfig? utility to go to the startup tab and remove the unnecessary programs that startup during booting. Once you do this tidying it is possible to speed up your computer.
