Question

Answer 1

Easy......At the top of the internet browser..Tools then internet options then delete cookies =)

Answer 2

This is how to defrag.

For Windows XP

Begin by first clicking on the Start Button.

Then move your mouse over the All Programs icon to display all Start Menu folders.

If your Start Menu is set to the Classic View, move your mouse over the Programs folder instead.

Now, move your mouse onto the Accessories menu folder until it expands.

Then move your mouse onto the System Tools menu folder until it expands.

Now Click on the Disk Defragmenter icon to launch the program.

Then use your mouse to highlight the drive that you want to Defragment?

Then click on the Defragment button located on the lower left hand center of the screen.

Windows XP will analyze your drive first and then display a visual estimate of the final results.

And Windows XP will continually show you a progress indicator bar depicting its progress.

When Windows is finished it will ask you if you would like to quit the Defrag Program.

Select YES to quit the Disk Defragmenter Program and then reboot your computer.

Cookies wont slow down your PC. You may want to scan your PC with these to check for spyware.Spyware will slow it down.

All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

If you use Firefox, you can delete them with a single menu click. Go to "Tools" and "Clear Private Data"
FYI - cookies don't really slow down your computer. (see link below)


To defrag, go to "my computer" right click on your C: drive and go to properties, there is a defrag button on the tools tab.

Answer 4

On the stat screen right click the e. Left click properties the there is a spot to delete cookies and temperary files.

Answer 5

Do yourself a favor and download FireFox. It's like internet explorer, but like 10 times better. Once you've got it, just click on tools, then clear private data or you can just press control+shift+delete, AND YOU'RE SET! So much more fun now that I've got firefox.

Answer 6

Go to disk cleaner and save it in your desk top.
