Computer Maintenance

Computer Maintenance:



This should be done weekly or at least bi-weekly to keep your computer running smoothly.



Now depending on what operating system you are using the headers could be worded a little differently. My operating system is windows 2000 XP.



These can be done manually or by setting up schedualed maintenance



First Maintenance:(Disk Clean-Up)

Gets rid of unused, unnecessary files



Click on Start

Programs

Accessories

System tools

Disk clean up

Let this run it will notify you when it has finished



Second Maintenance:(Disk Defregmenter)

Puts all your files in order. When you load things on your computer it just throws it around like a teenager in their room so this will put all of it in order neat and tidy. This will quicken certain programs as well that might otherwise be running a little slower then usual.



click on start

let the program run the entire time. Depending on the speed of your computer it could take awhile for it to finish. The best time to run this is late at night, or when you don't need the computer for awhile like and hour. If you leave your computer on through out the night I find this is the best time to get it done when I am in bed. Then I finish up first thing in the morning.



Have a great day
