Step 1:
Getting rid or your cookies and compressed files: 1. click on START on the bottom left of your screen 2. go to PROGRAMS 3. then ACCESSORIES 4. now SYSTEM TOOLS 5. finally DISC CLEAN UP ... now click on it

Step 2:
a pop-up box will open up, it may take a while for it to fully load, but it is searching your WHOLE computer for unwanted JUNK. When it's done, another one will appear (see diagram) check marks in the boxes, make sure the boxes are checked off next to the files that are using disk space. Now click OK, then YES. This may take a while if there is a LOT in there. but be patient, it's a good thing.

Step 3:
When that's done, it's time to DEFRAG. Once again: 1. click on START on the bottom left of your screen 2. go to PROGRAMS 3. then ACCESSORIES 4. now SYSTEM TOOLS 5. but this time, you will go down to DISK DEFRAGMENTER ... and again, click on it. another box will open up, click on DEFRAGMENT. Now THIS takes a long time, I do mine over night, but when it's done, re-boot your computer and it is sure to run faster!
