Speed up your computer - speed up yourself

Not really recruitment specific but incredibly pertinent to my current situation!  These are from Francis West at FWCS.  FWCS are "the leading UK IT Support provider to the Recruitment industry" so I guess that's also relevant.

5 Tips for a faster PC

1) Add remove programs: Unused programs waste resources and space.  Be sure to remove them using the Add/remove programs utility.

2) Junk Mail: Use a spam filter to remove junk mail before it reaches your systems.

3) Remove Video Files: These are sometimes large files. How many times are you going to watch your neighbours new baby! Remove these files when you're finished.

4) Clean up your desktop: Stop wondering where everything went. Clean up old downloads and forgotten programs. Set up a file system and stick to it.

5) Clear your cookies: Nothing could be easier. In internet Explorer open your browser and click Tools/Options/General/Delete Cookies.
