When you get a computer you imagine it making your life easier. With this expectation it is easy to feel disappointed when you find out that it isn’t all it was cracked up to be. There is so much on a computer that navigating your way through it and making it feel like yours is not an easy thing to do. Perhaps the reason is you don’t feel you have the power to customize your computer the way you’d like? Perhaps you don’t feel like you know how to make it a mean and efficient machine the way you thought it would be when you first took it out of the box? Well never fear because there are ways to make your computer the machine you have always wanted it to be. The first thing to do is go into the control panel and select the “add or remove programs” button and what your computer has taking up space on your hard drive. Then go one by one and decide if you really need it? Chances are you need or will want most of it but there is about 10 percent of those programs that can go into the trash can. Once you have finished deleting those programs(and that could take a while) then go to your desktop and start deleting the icons on it. These are meant to be super shortcuts for the programs you use the most but most of these were there when you got the computer and don’t need them at all so start hacking away. Then run a virus scan and make sure your computer has been infected with viruses. This should all be clear but if there is then just fix them and move on. Once they have been taken care of make sure you go ahead and install an internet browser that you really like using. If that happens to be the one that the computer comes with then that’s fine but if not then get the one you want and one that is fully customizable. Then your computer will feel like yours.
