Helpful Hint to keep your computer lean & mean:
At the START Menu Search Box, type DISK CLEAN and an app pops up, so click DISK CLEANUP. After it scans and pops up with check boxes, look for a box below that says INCLUDE SYSTEM FILES and click on it. It will re-scan and come up with check boxes again. Check ALL the boxes EXCEPT for DOWNLOAD (with the downward pointing arrow), and click RUN (or NEXT). This cleans up temporary Windows files and Windows Update files that get left on the system.
At the START Menu Search Box, type DEFRAG and an app pops up, so click OPTIMIZE And DEFRAGMENT YOUR HARD DISK. If it was last run within the past week, then great, if not, schedule it to run weekly. This will make it so your hard disk does not have to work so hard finding all the fragments of the files you are trying to work on....speeds things up!
