Windows running slow? Click here for Windows XP Speed-up Guide or Windows Vista Speed-up Guide | What do I need to do to recover and free space on my hard disk? 1. Remove any unnecessary files - by running Windows "Cleanup" and a well-known free program! 2. Recover even more space by compressing not frequently used files - using Windows' built-in file compression tool. 3. OK, so you need more space? Remove unnecessary programs and Windows functions.
That's all!
If you need more help, get a Microsoft Windows XP book from Amazon.com. 1: Increase Free Disk Space - Remove unnecessary Files - Delete unnecessary files: Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools and run "Disk Cleanup", check all boxes but not "Compress Files". After a while you will get a report of the files you can remove and the amount of space that will be freed; click "OK". - Delete more unnecessary files with the free CCleaner program. Download from www.CCleaner.com, install and run the "Cleaner" function.
Why: Unnecessary files take up space and slow down your computer.
2: Free MORE Disk Space - Compress infrequently used Files - Compress old files: Go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools and run "Disk Cleanup", check all boxes including "Compress Files". After you click "OK" this may run for many hours if it is run the first time...
Why: Compressing files that are not frequently used frees up disk space, but does not slow down the computer.
