There is no stories in this post. I will cut to the chase.
1. Clear your temporary files once in a while. Probably when you feel that your system is getting slower.
How to do this
Press win key(windows key) + R on your keyboard. This will open up your ‘Run’ window. In the ‘Run’ window type “temp” without the double quotes and press Enter key.
Now you will see a list of files. Select all these files and delete them – cntrl+A (to select all the files at once). Press DElete key to delete them. You will probably get a message saying some files can’t be deleted. Not to worry it is normal. Just skip those files.
2.Clear your Local temporary files.
How to do this
This is similar to what we did in the last step. But instead of typing “temp” in the ‘Run’ window, type “%temp%” without the double quotes. The rest is the same. Hope this is easy for you people.

How to do this
Open the ‘Run’ window like we did in the previous step. Type “msconfig” and hit ‘Enter’ key.
Now click the tab called ‘Startup’. In that tab you will see a list of Start up Items. Uncheck all the third party softwares you have installed.Except for your Manufacturer’s name all other Items can be unchecked.
Now Click ‘Ok’ and you will be prompted to restart or exit without restarting your PC. You can chose either. It is better to restart your system though.
