Hey guys, here's 4 quick ways to prank your friends (especially frustrating for those who don't know anything about computers!) ...

Welcome to the third edition of my "How To Speed Up Your Computer" series. As promised, I'm back in business. It's a pretty simply tutorial once again, but next time I'm going to show you how to do some tricky stuff with your registry. If you're not on a Windows user, I'm sorry that my videos have been only Windows tips. I promise to upload some Linux stuff in later episodes for you computer geeks (I'm running multiple operating systems).

So this time I'm going to walk you through how to run a system cleanup and fragmentation. Your extra files are going to be cleaned up, so they will no longer be slowing your computer down.

STEP ONE
Go to the start menu and follow this path:
All Programs :: Accessories :: System Tools :: Disk Clean Up

STEP TWO
Run the clean up. When it's finished analyzing, click 'OK'.

STEP THREE
Now, go to the start menu again and follow this path:
All Programs :: Accessories :: System Tools :: Disk Fragmenter

STEP FOUR

Welcome to the second edition of my "How To Speed Up Your Computer" series. So here's what's up. In addition to all of my other videos, I will post a video to this series 2-4 times a week. Sound good?

In this episode, I walk you through the process of improving your computers performance by tweaking, well; the performance options. Once again, this is a little bit on the elementary side, so for you advanced guys I promise to have something a bit trickier in the coming weeks.

There are two methods for doing this. I'm going to explain method one, but if you have GodMode enabled; you can use the more simple method. See my last video for details on how to activate GodMode.

STEP ONE
Open the start menu. Run a search for "appearance".

STEP TWO
Select "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows"

STEP THREE
Check the box that says "Adjust for best performance"

STEP FOUR
Click OK to save changes.

Your computer should now appear to be running Windows 97. I promise, it will still work just as well as it did before. If you've got 4GB of RAM and up, this shouldn't be necessary. It does make a noticeable difference if you have all the fancy things off however.
