Spring Cleaning: Don’t Forget Your Computer

Do you add your pc/laptop to your list of spring cleaning?  I know always forget, so this weekend my one main task is to spring clean and organise my computer.

I know very few things about the ins and outs of computers but I do know, like everything else, your pc or laptop needs a clean and a clear out every now and then; computer people will probably tell you that you should do it a little more often than that! Anyway, I’m very non techy but even with the minimum of knowledge you can do little things to keep your pc/laptop running better, and for longer; cue disclaimer, these are just the steps I take

A simple Internet search will bring up lots of ‘how to’ articles about cleaning your computer and this is one I’ve used previously; after completing all the steps it felt like I was using a different machine, so I’m going to do them all again {and promise myself to do them on a more regular basis}

I’m also going to..

• Organise and save all my photos to disk
• Organise and clear my document files
• Organise and clear my favourites explorer bar
• Organise my Google Reader

What about you, do you do this all the while, do you have any best practise tips to share? Please let me know in the comments
