The Secret to a Speedy Computer When you purchase a new computer, the speed of your computer is at its fastest. However, over time you will notice that the speed of your computer will begin to slow. The speed of your computer will continue to deplete over time the longer that you have the computer and use it. However, just because your computer is a few years old does not mean that you need to go out and purchase a brand new computer. Over time, you install and download a good bit of information on your computer. Some of this information is removed over time but it is likely that some of this information is still lurking on your computer's memory. For the most part, it is probably safe to say that you do not use everything that is downloaded or installed on your computer. If you do not, then these files are simply sitting in the memory of your computer just taking up space. When these files take up space, they are slowing down your computer. If you do not need all of this information or use all of it, then what is the point of letting it stay on your computer where it takes up space and slows down your computer? If it is not needed or is not used, it is best to remove it from your computer instead of letting it alter the performance of your computer. A great way to speed up a computer is to remove unused and unneeded information and files. This can be done by cleaning out the registry of your computer. Your registry is like the brain of your computer where all of the files and information is stored. However, if you are not using all of these pieces of information or the files, it is just taking up space in the registry. By removing the unneeded or unwanted files, you are making room in your computer's registry. You may not realize how much information is stored in your computer's registry until you clean the registry out. Once you get a look at how much information is removed, you will realize why the speed of your computer was becoming slower over time. Performing regular registry cleanups on your computer is a great way to clean out your computer of unwanted or unneeded information that may be slowing your computer down. By performing a registry cleanup, you are less likely to have trouble with the speed of your computer slowing down. Join The Free Weekly Educational Newsletter! Page 19
