[W109]Way To Speed Up Computer

by Logan Albright, Log

Whenever we purchase a new product, we expect it to last for a lifetime and that is no different especially when the product you are buying is a computer. However, that ideal situation seems to never come through as you would find out in months to come. As the days past, you will realize that your computer not only does not maintain its efficiency but will decline in performance as you use it more and more.

There are several factors leading to the decline in your computer's performance and also different methods to stop them or to slow down that process.

Clean out your Registry

The registry of the computer is often overlooked by users as they have no idea that its there! Being one of the most important parts of your window's system, it records and makes entries to every installation or every thing you do in your computer. The only problem is, it only knows how to add new entries and not delete the old. As such, when you delete certain programs or applications, the entries remain and are useless and clog up the system. This slows the computer down as it has to go past all these useless junk entries in order to process the right one. With time, the files in your registry can also become missing or corrupted. This will no doubt hinder the performance of your computer as well.

Check for Viruses and Spyware

Once of the most problematic things you can ever encounter while having a computer is with spywares and viruses. Viruses are made by people who have nothing better to do than to want to hurt your computer and sometimes they even delete and corrupt precious information or data in your computer that you have been working on for months! Spywares are not uncommon nowadays and they are almost impossible to be prevented. As we surf the web, it is almost certain that websites would plant little programs, spyware, into your system without even you knowing and its sole purpose is to spy on your surfing patterns and etc. With all these little programs working behind your back in the computer, it is no doubt that your computer would be processing so slowly. Thus, search the web for a good anti-virus program or spyware remover and get rid of all these pesky programs from your computer today!

To maintain your computer can be an easy task to do, but it takes discipline and patience. Do not be hasty in wanting to get a new computer when your old one seems to be working at an unsatisfactory rate. Sometimes, you just have to search for the root of the problem and you will realize that you can save so much money just by downloading free softwares from the net to solve the problems your computer is facing. That beats burning a hole in your pocket just to buy a new computer. So choose today, whether you want to regularly check up on your computer or you would rather fork out a larger sum of money to but a new computer when it is spoilt.

To make the most out of every article you write, you should submit them to as many article groups and article directories as possible. There are a few different ways to do this: you could subscribe to an article submitting service, you could purchase software to enable you to submit your articles yourself, you could manually submit your articles. Manual submissions can be very time consuming but, if you are working on a small budget, manual submission might be your only option at first. An easy way to speed up the submitting process and save you hours of boring cutting, pasting and clicking is to work with a tabbed browser. The most popular tabbed browser is Mozilla Firefox and most people who try Firefox swear they would never revert back to Internet Explorer. If you follow these instructions step by step, you will make article submitting much easier and quicker.

Download Mozilla Firefox free of charge.

1 Open a new page by clicking "file" and then "new tab" from the drop down menu or by typing Ctrl+T.

2 Type or paste in the address of an Ezine directory to get the site on screen. Don't log in yet, you want to be at your log in page each time you open it.

3 Click for another new tab and do the same thing.

4 When you have opened as many tabs as you want (8 or 10 is perfectly manageable) click on "Bookmarks" on the toolbar.

5 Select "Bookmark all tabs" from the dropdown menu.

6 In the box that appears, click the far right arrow to show all bookmark folders, select "new folder" and type in the name you want to give the group. There is no limit to the number of groups you can create. So, if you are submitting to 100 directories, they can be split into ten groups.

To add more sites to any particular group:

1 you do the same steps up to and including 4.

2 click on the first choice in the drop down menu, "Bookmark this page" and select a group where you want to place the new site. Deleting moving, renaming, moving bookmarks etc is simple (click on "Bookmarks" and select "Manage bookmarks").

To open a saved group you click on "Bookmarks", scroll down to the group you want and click on "open in tabs" at the bottom of the list of urls.

When you open a group, all of your sites will automatically load within one browser window and you'll see the individual tabs for easy navigation. Once you have saved all the sites in groups, you can open them all at the same time and log in. Before logging in, copy and paste your article and your resource box into Notepad. For the sake of easy copying, have the title, article body and resource box on separate lines with a space between each one. Also copy in (again on separate lines) the keywords associated with the article and the brief introductory summary most article directories require.

Now click each tab in turn, log into the article directory website and click to the submission page. When you are logged in and at the submission page of all the directories in the group, go to your Notepad and copy your article title. Work through pasting the title of your article into the appropriate space in the submission page at each directory. Then copy the article body from Notepad and work through from the first directory to the last pasting in the article. Do the same thing with the keywords, resource box and summary. As you paste in the final item at each directory, click on submit and you're done.

This is much, much faster than going between your article and the directory websites copy/pasting title, article, resource box, keywords and summary at each site individually and it makes the process far easier on your mouse hand.
