If you have to sit around drumming your fingers on your desk as you wait for your computer to boot up, you are probably getting a bit frustrated; you probably also remember when you brought your shiny new PC home from the store and it did everything almost faster than you could even type in the commands. If you’ve had your PC for a while, you are probably now wondering what on earth has made your computer so slow and the first steps to take if your PC is getting slower and slower. Well, the truth of the matter is, there are several things that happen to slow down your computer as time goes on. Every time you create a document, you take up a little space. Every time you visit a website, your computer stores the URL information. Every time you do anything, your computer tends to hold onto some piece of information, and for every little bit of information stored in your computer, your speed is reduced a bit. Add up all this sometimes worthless baggage, and soon your once-fast PC gets slower and slower. The first steps to take are these: Check your startup menu. A lot of times, software programs are configured to automatically go into the startup section of your PC. The more stuff you have in there, the more work your computer has to do to get started after you turn it on. Just like people, the more work your PC has to do, the slower it is. Clean your cache. Your cache is like a big foot locker that holds all kinds of data—both necessary and unnecessary. Go through it and get rid of everything that is not needed. If you have never done this, you will probably be surprised at all the “junk” you accumulate in there. If it was your kitchen junk drawer, you wouldn’t be able to get it open!
