General tips for maintenance
1
Check the capacity of your hard disk drive from time to time. If the
hard disk drive gets too full, Windows
®
will slow down and might
produce errors.
2
Empty your recycle bin on a regular basis.
3
Use the Microsoft Disk Defragmenter on your hard disk drive on a
regular basis to improve data seek and read time.
ƒ To free up disk space, uninstall unused application programs.
Note:
You might also want to look for application program duplication or
overlapping versions.
ƒ
Clean out your Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders from your e-mail client
program.
ƒ
At least once a week, make a point to back up your data. If critical data is
present, it is a good idea to perform a daily backup. Lenovo has many
backup options available for your computer. CD-RW drives or CD-RW/
DVD drives are available for most computers.
ƒ
Use or schedule System Restore to take a system snapshot periodically.
