Help the new old computer

Not to long ago in real time (but not computer/internet time) I purchased a new computer. Everything was buzzing along with the new machine for several months. But slowly things started to change. My new super fast computer no longer seemed to have changed into some 486 lead weight. I started to wonder why is my computer so slow ?

Well after looking at everything that has happened over the past few months it looks like loading up every piece of software that someone wants to lend you might not be the best thing for your computer performance. All those programs take up hard drive space and most importantly they load bits and pieces of computer code into your start up process.

One the quickest slow computer fix  that the average user can perform is to delete anything that you are not using. Also when you delete those programs you should make sure everything that was installed with the program disappears at the same time. Small things get installed in the registry when you use Windows to run your computer and they should also be deleted if you are no longer using the programs associated with the small bits of code in the registry.

So that was part of my solution to the question of why my computer is slow. I also made sure the kids no longer had free range access to the machine so they could not keep downloading ever piece of free software that they found on the internet.
