Looking to enhance your overall Windows experience? Here are some handy tips and tricks.

Disk Clean Up
Disk Clean up is designed to clear unnecessary files from your computers hard drive. To start disk clean up you can either go to Start, then Run and type in Cleanmgr.exe. You can also go to Start, All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click on Disk Cleanup.

Disk Defragmenter (XP and Win 2000)
Disk Defragmenter reorganizes files and pieces of files on a disk to optimize performance and reliability.

To open Disk Defragmenter go to Start, then All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and then Disk Defragmenter. You can also go to Start, Run, type in dfrg.msc. Once it opens you will see on the top of the window a list of hard drives installed on your system. Just highlight a drive and click Defragment to begin the Defragmentation process. This can usually take up to an hour to be completely done.

Email without Starting Outlook
Sometimes you just want to send a quick email without opening your Outlook and waiting for the application to load. Well with this tip you can.

  • First right-click on your desktop and select new, and then shortcut from the pop-up menu.
  • A wizard launches, type mailto: in the location box (don't forget the colon at the end).
  • Name your shortcut "new email" or something you can remember. You will then see the shortcut on your desktop.

So whenever you want to send off an email when Outlook isn't open, just double click this shortcut, compose your email and click send. This will also work for other email programs as well, as long as the application is the default mail program.

Does your computer start connecting right when you turn on your computer? (Windows XP)
Go to Control Panel, Switch to classic view (on the left hand side). Double click on Network Connections. Then you will want to click on Advanced from the menu and then click Dial up Preference. Under Enable redial by location, uncheck all locations and hit OK. That should take care of that problem.
