This tip works on your home computer for sure. If you don't have "admin" permissions on your work computer to download and install things, it won't work for you there.
Here is a free program to clean "gunk" such as old files, unneeded files, etc. from your hard drive so that your computer will run faster. It also makes your anti virus and anti-malware products work faster! CCleaner lets you remove useless files from several applications, including Microsoft apps.
1. Go to: http://tinyurl.com/3e26fh8
2. Click on DOWNLOAD NOW.
3. Click on RUN and allow it to install to your computer. You can accept any defaults as far as location, etc.
4. It will put an icon on your desk top.
5. Click the icon to open CCleaner.
6. Allow it to check your computer. It will take a while to check it.
It will ask you if you REALLY want to delete the files it finds. I always click yes/ proceed and have never had a problem.
I run CCleaner about once a week on my home computer.
It also offers you a way to stop unwanted programs from starting up every time you turn on your computer. Nifty!
