Instant speed boost step 7:

So you removed all the junk completely. Now to sort things out. That cleanup left some large gaps in the hard drive, but they are here and there – they need to be sorted out into one big lump of free space.

Also known as Defrag

Go to Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> Disk Defragmenter

Select your main drive, hit ‘Defragment’.

All done

Notice any difference? Is XP flying? Great! Glad I could help.

You should really do step 6 and 7 every day. To make it quicker,

Go to Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >>

and right click ‘Disk Defragmenter’, then hover over ‘send to’, then click Desktop (create shortcut).

Do this with ‘Disk Cleanup’ too.

Now they will always be on your desktop, reminding you to do them before you power off each day.

Also, you can do all this with an app called ‘C Cleaner’, another free program from download.com. It willl make things easier, although you don’t really need it now you know how to do it manually.
