Spring Cleaning For
Your PC

Just as your car requires occasional cleaning and waxing to keep it shinny and new looking, so it is with your personal computer. In this guide you'll not only find out how you can keep your computer looking new, but also how to keep it working running as efficient and fast as it was originally designed to.

First, learn how to clean all the dust and derbies that accumulates around your computer's cooling fan. It's important that your computer gets the cooling air circulation it needs to work properly. Then, move to the inside of the case that houses your computer's main circuit board.

Next, tackle that mouse. There is nothing as aggravating as a mouse pointer that sticks or jumps around on the screen. We'll show you how to keep your mouse pointing where you want it to.

And, about that keyboard. Have you looked at it lately? Do you have a key or two that just doesn't want to work quite right? Your computer's keyboard is the input device you use every time you work or play. Keep it working and looking like new with these few simple steps.

How about all those files you've been making? Are they organized the way you want? Here's a short tutorial on how you can use Windows Explorer to keep your hard disk's files and folders arranged any way you want.

If you think your PC seems to be loosing power we'll show you how to do a Quick PC Tuneup and get your files arranged on your hard disk for maximum speed. We'll even show you how to arrange those files so you can find them easily and quickly.
