Working Quicker In Windows: There are little known Quick Keys in Windows. On your keyboard, look for the Windows Logo button (bottom left of keyboard). (See below)

Keys Available: (Press them both together)

WINDOWS+E - This will run Windows Explorer, or your File Manager, which ever you wish to call it.

WINDOWS+D - Will minimise programs and show your desktop. Very handy.

WINDOWS+F - Will run the Search feature, finding all files of a specific type to your description.

Increase Your Memory: Various settings on your PC, such as Wallpaper on your desktop and also running screen savers, these DO slow down your pc as they are taking up valuable memory. These can easily be removed, without upsetting the workings of your pc.

How To Remove: Go to your desktop, Windows+D, Right click the mouse on the desktop.

This will appear:

Select Properties, Select Desktop

Something similar to this will appear.

Select [none] Click Apply

Then, Select Screen Saver, this will appear:

From the drop down list of screensavers, Select [none] Click Apply, then OK

You have now removed 2 components which will now increase your memory capacity to use with other programs.
