How To Do It Yourself
This page is dedicated to the do it yourselfers.
 Today we're going to learn how to do some basic house cleaning of your computer that all users should know how to do themselves. First you should aways do a daily cleanup of your harddrive and this is located in system tools folder on your operating system such as XPHome or Pro or Vista (it may be slightly located differently on other operating systems). Goto the Start Button/ All Programs/ Accessories/ System Tools/ Disk Cleanup. Then run it. Then select by clicking in the empty boxes on the left on the items you want the cleaner to cleanup (deletes it out of the system). You may have to wait for maybe 2 to 10 minutes before you can make a selection due to it scanning  C: drive of your system to see what each ctagory has to offer in terms of junk. Then after you make your selections then click okay button and the cleanup will begin and it could take as long as 15 to 30 minutes according how much junk it has to remove. While this operation is running its advisable not to be using your computer for any other operation except for this alone.
 Next week I'll show you how to defragment your computer until then be sure to cleanup daily as well as backup your computer. PS This is the spot where I'll show you how to do these and many more operations. Have fun computing. EJ :-)
