spring cleanIt’s September 1…that that means it’s time to spring clean…which includes your computer.

A good place to start is your desktop…is it cluttered with saved files, photos, shortcuts to websites or programs or documents that you were too lazy to file away properly?  It will only take a few minutes to carefully look at each item then decide what to file, what to delete and what can stay on the desktop.

Programs or files or even websites that you need fast access can also be pinned to the taskbar or start menu so they are always within quick reach.
