How to Unclog Your Computer

I worked on many computers lately and I noticed something the most is that there are still programs on computers that are no longer needed.

Some new computers have a lot of software demos there for customers to try. If they like, they have the option to buy it. If they do not like, or even try it, the computer still has to save the program and all associated files.

In addition, many parents sometimes buy educational software for children. Children 9-10 years now, but the software is purchased for the year, 3-4 years remain on the computer.

Another example is AOL. Some people have started using AOL, then they decided to go to the cable modem, DSL, fiber optics and AOL are no longer used. Even if they do not use the software and all files remain on your computer.

The entire above mentioned slow computer, especially leaving AOL on it. AOL is a great program and put the ubiquitous pieces of software, including a program called registry.

Registry is a program that tracks everything on the computer. If you no longer use the application and you do not uninstall registry to go through all the data to get to go.

Thus, the first step to get rid of the application you no longer need is to go to the Start menu and see all the programs and files in the All Programs menu option. Just look in different folders and applications to see what you no longer use, or even heard of.

The next step is to click on the Start menu and click the Control Panel. When I open the Control Panel click Add / Remove program option. In XP and Vista, the Add / Remove Programs in both the first line (the VIES icon), or in the left column (the words display).

When the Add / Remove open, you will see all installed applications. If you have many applications on your computer can take up to 30 seconds or more to complete all on the screen.
