For me, it's "My Computer", then "Control Panel" then "Add/Remove Files". I just highlight what I want removed, click the remove button, and voila, the extraneous crap is deleted. I have no idea if this will work on your PC though, Cars. I just know how to do it on mine. :yh_blush

Right click on the IE blue E. Select propteries. On the general tab, delete the files, delete cookies and clear history.

Go to Start/Run type %temp% click OK.

On the top menu select Edit then Select All. The go to file and select delete.

All programmes, accessories, disk cleanup,-this picks out all temp files etc, clean up,

then again all programmes, accessories, system tools, disk degragmenter, analyse and it will tell you if you need to defreagment. i would recommend doing it anyway. Windows is encredibly untidy and stoeres files all over the place to the extent that ptogrammes can run very slowly or your cpomputer may "hang". defreagment sorts them out and speeds up your computer.

Look at increasing the RAM memory. it's quite cheap to buy extra and you just slot it in.
