Who would have ever thought that your computer operating system would be to blame for your computer running slow? Well guess what - it is. Your computer’s operating system is designed to work as flawlessly as possible but unfortunately that isn’t the case. What happens is that when you fir get your computer there really isn’t anything on it and so if runs smoothly. The problem happens the more that you use it because junk starts to build up all over the computer in many different areas and this makes your computer run inefficiently. This is why people are so attracted to the idea of registry cleaners - they are designed to clean one area of your computer that runs inefficiently, but unfortunately it only cleans “one” area of your computer when there are many other areas that need to be taken care of. This is why after you use a registry cleaner your computer really isn’t that much faster.

Your computer’s operating system (assuming its Windows based) is designed to use RAM as a temporary working place. Now when some of these files are in RAM they also need to work with other files temporarily and in order to do this they need to use a space on your hard drive. This space is folder called your Temp folder and when window’s is done working with files in the Temp folder it will just delete them. The problem comes when your computer crashes, freezes or you manually kill a program. The files that were in your computer’s Temp folder never got deleted and after time a lot of files can build in this folder and slow your computer down. All you have to do is to just go in there and delete them. Here’s how to do it:

If you are using Windows XP, close all running files and programs and then click Start, click on Run and type %Temp% in the box and hit enter. Now you’re going to get a window that will show you the contents of the Temp folder. Just delete everything that you can in that folder. If for some reason it says that you cannot delete a certain file, just skip it and move onto the next one.

If you are using Windows Vista, close all of your currently running programs and files and start off by clicking the Start button in the bottom left hand corner of the scree. Now type Run in the start menu search box. When the Run window comes up type %Temp% and hit the enter button. Now delete everything that you see in that folder. If there are some files that you cannot delete all you have to do is to just ignore them and then move onto the next one and start selecting those.

By cleaning up your Temp folder regularly you are first freeing up your computer of hard drive space which will make it run faster in the long run (it will have less files that it will have to manage) and your computer will also have less internal errors.
