Slow Computer, slow page load?

I use up my temporary internet file cache almost every other day and then wonder why the heck my computer is not doing what I want it to do, which of course is to load the webpages I want as soon as I click on them.

Sometimes I'm working on a webpage and my copy and paste doesn't work. I try to send emails and the Outlook takes forever to send the message and of course there's the hundreds of emails that I receive everyday and those created in html that takes more than 5 seconds to load.

If you're anything like me when I want to check out a site or send out an email or do anything on my computer I want it done immediately.

Well, unfortunately my husband says that's impossible with the amount of things that I do on this computer, not to mention the amount of email that's saved for later viewing, lol . .

Thank God I have someone who can tell me what the problem is.

The Temporary Internet Files is there for a good reason. It stores all of the places that you've visted, yes your history of internet surfing and of course depending on how many days you have set it, it can take up quite a bit of space.

Why does it keep these pages for you? Well, for the same reason why I'm writing about it, so I can access it immediately. You see the computer holds this history so when you want to see it again, it'll load it up really quickly because it's already been cached in your computer.

However, because I develop websites, every single time I click on "Preview" in my Front Page editor, my computer automatically creates a Temporary Internet File of the page that I am trying to preview.

If your household is like mine, we have more than one person using the computer. Fortunately, my kids have their own computer now and my husband and I share the new one. Only two people shouldn't create that many temporary files right? Wrong, he's a programmer so he's on this as much as he can doing stuff that takes up so much time. He is pretty good about dumping the "Trash" but just not the Temporary Internet Files".

I've made it a habit now to make sure I delete at least a few thousand emails that I get every day, just deleted over 3,000 the other day and today my computer is slowing down again. I hate emptying the Temporary Internet Files. Why? Because it can take over an hour just to do that function.

So, if you're having problems with slow computer system and it's not a virus, it's your Temporary Internet Files. Make sure to empty it at least once a week of you love to surf the net, maybe twice a week.

How do you delete your Temporary Internet Files? Do the following:

With your Browser Open
Click on "Tools"
Then click on "Internet Options"
Under Temprary Internet Files
Click on "Delete files"
A pop up window will open click on "OK" don't tick the box that ask you to delete Offline content, someone might have sychronized a website for offline work.

Once you click on OK your computer will start the slow process of deleting all of your Temporary Internet Files.

That should speed up your internet connection a little.

If you've got a lot of saved emails, save them to your computer or better yet, open up your Notepad and copy and paste the important information you need and save it as a Text Document in your computer. Delete all emails that you don't need and this also should help your computer process faster.

I'm currently deleting my Temporary Internet Files. Of course this means I can't do anything for awhile but publish this post.
