I am soon (I hope) going to be changing this website to 1024×768 screen resolution from the current 800×600. My Google Analytics tells me that now less than 5% of visitors use the outdated 800×600 resolution and let’s face it, new, larger flat panel monitors are cheap.

Maybe Cleaning Out Your Windows Temporary Files Will Speed Up Your PC

June 21st, 2008

Sometimes when your computer is acting sluggish or a program like Adobe Acrobat Reader appears to hang or freeze, the problem could be excessive Windows temporary files gumming up the works.

I have seen instances where Microsoft Word will lock up or otherwise misbehave and the solution is as simple as cleaning out excessive Windows temp files.

Microsoft doesn’t exactly make that easy to do.

By default, Windows buries the temporary folder in a hidden portion of the User Profile directory. Further, the tool Disk Cleanup is buried in the Start Menu under All Programs | Accessories | System Tools and by default does not delete temp files.

After several instances at client locations where the fix to a problem software program was to clean out the Windows temp folder, I thought I should do a short screencast video explaining the problem and the solution:

How and Why To Clean Out Windows Temporary Files

Please remember that it is ALWAYS wise to have a good backup of your computer before performing any system maintenance or deleting any files.

When it’s all done, you may find your computer or some particular software program runs faster or more reliably than before.
