Nancibarian's older computer nitrous oxide injector



   Right click opens Korean  KPop sub-group "Speed"s vid 2nd window


If you have an older computer that slows down with cookies + whatever our librarian said to right click on the task bar - the blue base at the bottom of the screen to the right of the  green Microsoft "Start" icon to get to "Task Manager" and delete the "Part.exe" [ Ranish Partition Manager] program which can slow down older computers.

She also said to go to "Internet Options" by left clicking on "Start"  then click on "Control Panel" [I have to right click to open things on this computer..then left click the "open" on the little window that opens up...]

...Then I right click on "Internet Options" and it should open to the "General" tab and it should say below that

"Delete temporary files, history, cookies, saved passwords and web information"

I checked the box and clicked "Delete".

From "Control Panel" you can also open the "Add or  Remove..."  - silver compact disc like icon - which is  Add or Remove Programs".

I found a lot of programs on the computer that I didn't want to use...

My neighbor somehow set up her "Disk Defragmenter" ~
  "Start"  - "All Programs" - "Accessories" - "System Tools" - "Disk Defragmenter"....

 [The dash sign means click on the option indicated in the window that opens up when you clicked on the previous option...wanted to put a right arrow like others do but it won't stay when I update...]

...to automatically defragment her hard drive disk every week...

Next to "Disk Defragmenter" in "Systems Tools" you find "Disk Cleanup" which "Windows XP Simplified" [a great picture book that shows you the Windows screens and how to use them] says you should run "...any time your hard drive space gets too low ' or if your hard drive space is not a concern, run it once every two or three months...
[it deletes unnecessary files]

 http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/help-cannot-access-internet-options-166078.html - help for accessing "Internet Options" if difficult.

Nancy's advice and getting rid of some of the bigger files I wasn't using really sped this  Dell 2002 up

Ray Dixon from Microsoft Support says we can automate Windows Disk Defragmentation the way he says, but I could't find " windows\system32  " or "  defrag.exe  " and this still worked  - so:

Begin:  Left click "Start"
Open "Control Panel"
Double left click "Scheduled Tasks"
Double left click "Add Scheduled Task"
Left click the "Task Wizard Dialog" Box [mine was little yellow "Accesibility Wizard" box]
Left click "Browse"
I couldn't find " windows\system32 " [notice that is not the usual / backslash, but  \ forward slash] folder so I typed it in the "File Name" box + clicked "Open"
I also couldn't find "  defrag.exe  " [notice the dot between defrag and exe]  in the menu that popped up after " windows\system32 " so I typed it into the " File Name " box too
- then clicked open and

Voila! There you are

Thanks Ray
