If you experience some trouble accessing the many websites, then fixing slow computer can be efficiently carried out by ensuring that the Internet Explorer will not store the Temporary Internet Files. Just go to Tools and Internet Options and under Options select the General tab. Click on Settings. At the bottom of the window, you will see the section that says 'Amount of disk space use'. If this is set to 500 megabytes or higher, it is recommended to reset this to 250 megabytes. On the same Internet Tools window, ensure that the Internet Explorer will delete all the temporary internet files every time the browser closes.

Files that are not used or rarely used on the System Tray should be deleted. These programs often start up every time the computer loads and these also slow down the performance of the computer. If you can't afford to lose these programs, then you can simply take them off the System Tray and make sure that these programs will not start up every time the computer loads. Just be sure to carefully do that and only remove those programs that you don't really need.

To make this happen, just go to Start and click on Run. Type msconfig on the text box and press Enter. Proceed to the Startup tab and uncheck the programs that you want to remove. Finish that by clicking on OK. Fixing slow computer can be done as well by using the Task Manager, and by controlling the number of icons on the desktop. If your pc contains 40 icons, then the pc needs to refresh the 40 icons every time. Remove the un-important ones on the desktop and send it to a folder. These are simple steps that a novice like you can do in fixing slow computer.
