Speed Up Your Vista Computer By Getting Rid Of Temporary Files

If you are a Windows Vista user, you already know that it falls short in speed when compared to the other versions of the Windows OS. Most people who have upgraded to Vista regret it, and Windows 8 seems to be their only way out, other than a downgrade of course. It’s not surprising how many people opt to go back to XP, considering the irritatingly slow performance of Vista. If you’re one of them and wish for assistance with the change in OS, you can contact Microsoft help line.

There are ways to urge the computer on if you find it slowing down, and some of them involve deleting the temporary files and cookies that invariably clog up the system. The temporary files are of the extension .tmp , and consume a lot of the storage on your PC, when allowed to accumulate. They’re also responsible for a lot of the errors that you encounter.

Most times, you can do without the temporary files, and they’re not even that hard to get rid of. A benefit of getting them out is that it frees up a lot of disk space, allowing Vista more room to run smoothly. Follow the instructions given below to delete the temporary files from your computer, or contact Microsoft help line for further assistance.

Instructions

• Go to the Start menu from the desktop screen on your computer. Go to the Search option and type in *.tmp; after this, hit the Enter button. You’ll find a list of all the temporary files that are on your system.
• Select all the listed results by hitting the key combination Ctrl + A. Alternately; you can select all the files on the list by pressing down the Shift key while clicking on the first and then the last entry.
• After the files have been selected for deletion, hit the Delete key to delete them. If you want them gone permanently, press the Shift key while hitting Delete. After this, go to the recycle bin to see if the file has been deleted permanently. If you see files there, select and delete them, or if you wish to clear the whole of the recycle bin in a single go, just hit the Empty Recycle Bin option, and then confirm by clicking OK.
