A Computer and Basic cleaning:
Let me tell you, a lot of people buy a personal computer, place it under their desk, and forget about it. Only knowing where the power button is. But what’s inside? The CPU has fans to keep cool, and lots of dust I’ll bet. The fans collect dust, and over time things can over heat. Call the experts at Ultra1-Studioz to get things running cool again.
Clean & update software as often as your automobiles again, about every 3 months. What to do: Remove cookies, delete old web page history files and remove old start-up programs or unwanted software. Then you should reboot and defrag.
Go to: Start run/ type: msconfig look on far left colloms for start-up, then select or desellect items, you dont want starting when windows reboots.

Defragging what is it? On your hard drive files get placed all over. Defragging organizes and saves more space, compresses old files and organizes the drive for faster read access. I'll tell you more later, for now: Remember to defrag your hard drives twice a year.
How?
Go to the ‘My Computer’ icon Right click on your mouse over your ‘Hard Drive’ or C:\ Go to ‘Properties’ and click on ‘Tools’ tab, select ‘Defrag’ Click ‘Analyze’ or just ‘Select’ to defrag. This can take a long time depending on your drive size and usage.
Do it just before going to bed and let run overnight. When defragging finishes there will be a log it creates this is not important just click ‘Close’ and you’re done. :)
DATA BACKUP:
Now days you have plenty of options, Burn them to cd or DVD, or copy files to an external hard drive, even a Micro thumb drive or jump drive.
We recommend AT LEAST a 1 GIG Memory Thumb drive for easy backups on the fly! Backing up files, as easy as copy & paste from one drive to the other drive.
Learn To: Cut and Copy text, Practice using;
Ctrl X =cut, Ctrl C =copy, Ctrl V =paste, Ctrl Z =undo
Tip's: Highlight some text with your mouse, rool over all text you want to select, holding down left mouse button, then right click select copy, or use your keyboard shortcut keys ctrl+c. Move your mouse to its new destination To drop file or text, use Ctrl +V or right click select paste.
