How to make my computer faster

It is surprising how quickly we manage to clog up our PC's and laptops with stuff that seems to make them run slower and slower. We all want to know the secret of how to make my computer faster, and a quick search of the internet forums and advice sites will give you some good answers. The most effective (if a little dramtic) method is to re-install your operating system - but this is not a step for the faint-hearted or technologically challenged... One of the most often heard complaints is about how long it takes to operating system to initialise. Typically it starts really fast when the operating system has been freshly installed, but once you start adding software, many programs like to get themselves into the start-up menu and be running in the background even when we don't really need them. Searching for the programs that initialise at startup can be a bit of a headache, but a quick internet search should pop up some software that will be able to do the job for you.
