Answer 1

For your computer and internet. Right click your internet icon on your screen and then left click properties. Or with the internet open click on tools at the top of the page then scroll down and click internet options. Click clear cookies, internet files and history. I know alot of people like to save all of there visited sites in the address bar but this also allows everyone else to see what you do as well. It's recomended you do this daily or after each internet session. You can also set you history to delete everyday. But you will still have to delete cookies and temporary files manualy.

That will delete/clear all files you have viewed on your internet travels. For Journals and other programs like MSN and Yahoo Messenger they have an option in there program that allows you to save messages sent and received in a designated folder on your computer. For those go to the options or set up section for them, when they are open click tools or options in the top menu bar then look for the spot that says save all messages. Make sure the box does not have an X in it....

Also for a system clean up, go to Control Panel, click start menu and you'll see it there on the right side.
In Control Panel click on performance and maintenance. You have 2 things you can do. First click on free up space on your hard disk this will take a couple minutes and will give you a list of files that should be deleted. It will take another minute or 2 to delete. Then go to rearange items on yor har disk..... This is the disk defragmentor. This will realign all the programs so that they are all running properly and in sequence so they don't slow down your computer. Both of these are good to do once every 2 weeks but no less than once a month.

If you are using Windows XP, you click on Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, then select Disk Cleanup. Click on that, wait until the system tells you how much it will clear, then click on OK and wait a minute or two. This will clear the cache, empty the Recycle Bin and get rid of cookies and other junk that accumulates from internet use. If you have Norton, run that, and it will clear the cache. I do this at least twice a week, and it keeps things cleaned up. I hope this helps!
