Isn’t it funny how one day your computer can be running smoothly and then in a few months it can slow down to the point where you just want to throw it out the window? The real question is – exactly why did it slow down? Well the answer isn’t clear cut and easy to digest but most of it has to deal with how the operating system of your computer works. Most Windows based operating systems are designed to work as efficiently as possible, but that unfortunately isn’t the case in real life. What happens is that after time your computer starts to build up junk in many different areas and this is what slows it down (for the most part). All you need to do to make it faster is to remove the junk. The only problem is finding all of the areas that the junk builds up and also removing it.

Exactly what areas does junk build up? Well there are multiple areas but unfortunately I can’t tell you all of them since it would simply take to long and I don’t have enough room the write all of it on this article. So instead, let’s focus on just one area that can improve your computers performance – removing unnecessary programs. Most of the people that I come across that have problems with their computers being slow usually have installed a lot of programs that they don’t need in the past and they haven’t bothered to remove them. If you have programs that are installed on your computer and they are not serving any purpose to you, you should really get rid of them. They will take up space on your hard drive and make things worse they will be running in the background using your computer resources which will slow it down drastically.

Just to be on the safe side, if you are not sure of what a program is or what it does, don’t remove it – your computer might actually be using it. Only remove a program if you know what it is and what it does. Here is the procedure:

For those of you using Windows XP start off by clicking the Start button, clicking on the Control Panel icon and clicking on the Add or Remove Programs. Now just wait a little while since the list has to be created (basically the mor eprograms on your computer the longer it will take to populate). All that’s left to do now is to just remove the programs that you don’t need. To do this, just click on the program that you don’t need and selecting Change/Remove and following through with the rest of the removal process.

For you Windows Vista user, start off by clicking the Start button in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, click on Control Panel and make sure that at the top left hand corner of the window that you have “Classic View” selected. Now just double click on the “Programs and Features” button (give it some time to populate your list of currently installed programs) and then just select the programs that you don’t need and at the top of the window select Uninstall to remove them. Remember to to only remove programs if you for 100% sure what they are and make sure that you don’t need them.
