5-Cleanup your Desktop
I remember one day, a friend call me and ask me to help him with his computer, which he said is becoming more and more slow. As soon as I log on to his desktop, I was amazed how cluttered it was with icons, files, photos, and other stuff. The whole desktop was full.
That was one of the reasons that make the computer slow. The system has to load all the desktop items on startup, which consumes a lot of memory.
So it is better to move most of the items that you use occasionally to another folder, and keep only few icons that you need.
