You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous.

I have them would be reduced by 700 MB.

Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore.

Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output.

When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline.

Setting the default value is 3% of the walk.

Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%.

In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change.

At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk.

Change to 5%, which should be enough.

In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%.

However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive.

In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc.

These files can be compressed or not compressed.

If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue.

If not compressed you can compress.

Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space.

On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, Tools, Dr. Watson, and make sure the box in front of "Add to the existing rating" is NOT checked.

This means that the next time that the log is written it will crush rather than adding to the existing file.

The setting of maximum size by default for Event Viewer logs is too big.

Reset the maximum value for each log from 512 KB to 128 KB and set it to crush.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us>

Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, disk cleanup to empty your trash and delete temporary Internet files.

Also select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, disk cleanup, more Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

  • How can I remove the Windows, "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer

    I use another software Photo and picture Windows and Fax Viewer interferes with my work with the other program. Therefore, I would like to remove the Windows, "Windows picture and Fax Viewer" program from my computer.

    Info for WIndows XP - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    OK... but be careful... you'll lose thumbnails of photos in Windows Explorer...
    your 'My pictures' folder... for example... does not display photos.

    And... FWIW... WP & F Viewer is not a program... it's just a .dll file. Disabling
    the .dll file is basically identical to uninstall. (in this way... If you do not
    as the result... you can reactivate).

    But if "gone forever", that's what you prefer... just delete the shimgvw.dll file.

    Attention last... your thumbnails in the Explorer will be gone.

    How... Disable WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and you is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    (You should see a dialog box indicating:)
    DllUnregisterServer in successful shimgvw.dll)

    How... Reactivate the WP & F Viewer

    Click Start / run and enter the following command:

    Type or copy/paste...
    regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
    (Yes, the space after the 2 and space after that the i is necessary)

    Press on... Come in...

    You should see a dialog box stating:
    DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in successful shimgvw.dll

    To remove shimgvw.dll go to the following folder and do a right click Delete shimgvw.dll.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll

    If you can't find the path, you must go to...
    Button start / Control Panel / folder Options.
    See tab /... to check "Show hidden files and folders"...

  • How can I remove the large green battery and plug icon?

    How can I remove the large green battery and plug icon? It seems pretty ugly and useless. There is already an icon of battery-plus-card used to determine the level of battery and charging status...

    Moderator edit: matched subject to content.

    Hi thang_nguyen!

    Another alternative is to double-click the battery icon and when Power Manager opens, click on Advanced Options > Options and uncheck the box "see the gauge of Power Manager in the bar then apply stains.

    To access the Lenovo Power Manager when the gauge of Power Manager is disabled, right-click on the Windows icon / energy from the battery in the bar of tasks and you should see "Power Manager".

    I hope this helps!

  • Help! 'remove the rendered JavaScript blocking' and 'leverage browser caching.

    My site Adobe Muse, www.realtorindfw.com, (desktop version) loading fine until yesterday. Now it loads very slowly, I tried to reduce the size of the image, thinking that maybe the problem (even if it used to load incredibly fast even when the images were 4 x greater, so I never thought that). When that didn't fix the problem I typed my website in Google PageSpeed and found that the main problem is that I need to 'remove the rendered JavaScript blocking' and "leverage browser caching."

    It seems that the main problem is that the file, http://webfonts.creativecloud.com/...eue:n4:all; open-without - condensed:n3:all.js, is apparently rendered blocking JavaScript which is causing all the rest to be delayed, because images can not load until this line is resolved and that can take up to a minute. Reading online, it seems that if I could move this line of code to the bottom, then it don't take everything, because no assets would be behind it. I obviously know nothing about good coding (that's why I use Muse). How can I go about solving this problem of render-blocking JavaScript?

    In addition, the issue of "leverage implementing caching of the browser" is that some images have an expiration are associated. I do not think this has nothing to do with me and is rather a kind of problem of Muse. Is there a way can I fix?

    My page was loading fine, until I downloaded randomly once again, and all these problems started. Please type my site in PageSpeed and address the problems of the desktop version and see if you can understand how this can be resolved. This is my professional site, so yes, I'm trying to get it fixed as soon as possible. I also discussed with support chat and they said that the best way to get it resolved would be to post it here. Thank you.

    debp83130756 if your page is slow to load, start a new thread here on the forum, ask for advice on improving the performance of page loading, and include the URL of the page. (A new thread will attract more attention than to post a reply in a thread that has been dormant for more than a year.)

    PageSpeed side has surprisingly little to page load performance as experienced by a visitor to the site and is not related to SEO or your Google page ranking.

    Him "generally render JavaScript blocking" on a Muse page is code that starts to load Web fonts. If it was moved later then the content of your page may appear a fraction earlier, but it appears in the wrong font, and then jump around to settle once the police you wanted has been loaded. Most of the people prefer to avoid content in the police hurt, insofar as that it can be avoided.

    Hello

    I'm on macbook pro 13-inch (mid-2012), and without knowing it, I turned on the Arch of fire during a software update (El Capitan 10.11.5). The encryption process has started and if I don't want to read more, which will make my slow mac? or encryption is slow mac anyway?

    or at the end of the encryption process, my mac is slow?

    I have a MacBook Air with active FileVault 2012. There is no significant difference in performance. Note, however, that there will be a performance impact until the original encryption is complete and that it doesn't have a way to stop it.
