A tech support guy gave me a quick and easy tip to make your computer faster:
Remove all the icons on your desktop.
Each time you start your computer – or any application – Windows reads all the icons on your desktop. If you have a lot of icons, that takes a long time. All of those icons are probably shortcuts to applications you can also find on your Start menu.
Merry Christmas!
Good to know. I’m going to revisit how my desktop is set up after the holidays.
