Office space - does this affect performance?

From the beginning, I was told to keep the office as clear as possible of icons and files, to speed up the system performance, but read while it has no effect. Currently, bourgeois has well over 100 files and folders on his desk. The computer (several years) got a lot slower in the last year or two. I wonder if the two are related. Are they?

Any file/icon will slow down the system? What about just large files?

I don't mean a start slow, just general hang out all day.

It is generally recommended to keep the desktop as clean as possible and not to use all the space on the Windows partition.

Do two things

Use disk cleanup.

  • CC of Adobe and Adobe CS6 are both installed on my computer.  Does this affect performance?

    While studying, I used an Adobe Creative Cloud membership.  I then bought a license for Adobe CS6 Design Standard.  The two products are installed on my computer.  This affects the performance of my system?  If so, how can I safely remove CC and continue to use CS6?

    Performance is determined by...

    -hardware, CPU & GPU, and amount of Ram and the speed of the drives (SSD is faster than the flat spinning disc)

    -What and how many files you have open, and what program you use (Premiere Pro is 'bigger' than Premiere Elements)

    -how much and what other programs you have open at the same time

    Used SPACE on your hard drive is determined by what you have installed

    -If you have a small disk, disabling and uninstalling the CC will free hard drive space

    -If you have a large drive, but is more paid for a subscription of cloud, there is no reason to keep installed CC

  • Quick display of Web pages - how does this affect the document?

    Hi all

    I find conflicting information on the option "Optimize for Fast Web View", which is enabled by default on most predefined PDF conversion setting.

    I use the PDFmaker plugin (installed CC 2016) to convert Microsoft Word (2016 installed) to PDF files for printing. Word files contain the text, tables, images and objects MS really about anything that you can put in a Word file. These files are produced for web applications and press, so I'm mostly concerned about high quality print presets and press quality, if that makes a difference.

    If I understand correctly, the device is intended to linearize the document. According to the help guide online to distill:

    Restructures the file for faster access (page-at-a-time of download,) or byte serving of web servers. This option compresses text and line art, the substitution of compression on the Images Panel selections.

    Adobe PDF conversion settings

    However, I found the following in the forums

    For at least the Adobe applications that produce PDFS, the Optimize for fast Web view results option in no difference in the quality of the resulting PDF file. Yes, the file is a bit bigger, but there is no difference in quality.

    Optimize the PDF for fast Web view

    Thus, this option really makes a difference in the appearance of the PDF?

    Thanks in advance!

    Fast web view shouldn't affect the quality somehow, unless it is combined with other changes. I think I can see the source of your dilemma.

    This option compresses text and line art, the substitution of selections of compression on the Images Panel.

    Compression of text and line art should always be done because it has no impact on the quality. A form of ZIP compression is used, not JPEG. The text is stored as strings to display; line drawing is stored as coordinates to fill. There is no possibility of destructive compression.

  • Memory - allocation increasing and how does this affect VDI?

    Currently, we use a HP DL360 server for our ESX Server.  On this server we use host view connection server, VCenter Server and 20 ESXi Virtual Machines VMWare View.  Both servers run as virtual Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition servers.  Currently the server has 4 GB of ram.  If I increase the physical ram on the server to 16 GB, since I am technically increase it on the ESXi instance, which will help with performance on peacekeeping that my functioning VDI?  Also, I can re - allocate the memory to get out them a little more because of increase it physically on the machine max, or will I run limits (for example, VCS runs on Windows Server 2003, manage the VDIs, it will limit the number of them in 4 GB of total memory?)

    Thanks in advance,

    Ken

    Increase the RAM on your ESXi hosts will help.  My concern is that you have "all your eggs in one basket."  VMware View brokers can be very busy and require a lot of resources.  I also understand that if you have a single host server, you are in a situation where you have to run everything under one.

    4 GB of physical RAM to accommodate what you are hosting is, in my view, what is causing your performance problems.

  • If I uninstall and reinstall ss12, does this affect existing projects?

    My ss12 (installed from disk and updated to v. 12.1) is wrong.  Symptoms * are complex, but I think that a uninstall and reinstall may be claimed.

    My question: will be a uninstall and reinstall remove, alter, or otherwise cause problems with existing projects, of which some are finished and waiting to go on a DVD?

    Thanks in advance.

    * Symptoms include: logon failure first try; "Not responding" pop-up windows while the program is in place and works very well. Popups "Unresponsive" after I left the program [!], others.  In addition, on occasion during the withdrawal of the other programs I get a corrupted message on some sort of file ss12.  (Sorry, but I have not the screenshots of these messages.)  Usually works well once up and running, but erratic fringe issues make me nervous.

    Generalizing... a uninstall/reinstall of first Elements do not cause you to lose your saved projects.

    You have not want to move, delete or rename files/folders which is entered in the saved closed project after you save closing the project.

    Some preferences may have to re - set the reinstallation. And, if you have created custom user and other effects

    You must save them and reinstall after reinstalling the program.

  • Can I reduce the size of the pagefile, or does this size for optimal performance of the rig?

    Hi all.

    I recently increased my memory of 4 GB to 12 GB.  I noticed that my pagefile has increased in size that corresponds to the installed memory.  Can I reduce the size of the pagefile, or does this size for optimal performance of the rig.

    See you soon.

    Original title: size of pagefile.

    Swap files are always important. UNIX, Linux, MacOS and Windows all set up to Exchange files and use them. Some applications also require the existence of a file...

    The only people who need to limit the size of pagefile are those whose disk space is very valuable to the critical operations of mission currently running on the computer.

    Do not be fooled into thinking that the loading RAM is the best option, because it's not like people in the above paragraph you would say.

  • Big against little endian - how will this affect my Performance of read/write PDM

    Hello

    I read that LABVIEW intrinsically stores data in big endian format, but the read/write of the VIs DDHN have the little-endian as a default. Simply, you wonder what is recommended for these screws TDMS and if these options affect writing / reading performance somehow?

    Hello

    The endian of data does not affect the performance of the read/write of the DDHN screw the primacy of the format is just down to personal preference when working low level with data.

    If you do not read or write the bits in a personalized way, then I would recommend leaving the endian as it is by default when reading or writing. Otherwise, use any kind you like or prefer to go through.

    If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.

    • Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data, because all profile files will be deleted.

  • For the last week, I had problems on the Web pages in the browser look at a box itself (the box that actually shows the site), I can't click on anything anyone in the top thumb or inch - and a quarter. What does this, and how can this be repaired?

    This applies to all links and anything in this field unless it falls below, then I can click on it. The only thing that seems to get around it, is on a bar at the top of a Web search, I can click and type, but there is no text cursor.

    This problem occurs even when I scroll down, the same area of a Web site can be clicked, because of this problem.

    This does not affect the toolbars, bookmarks, etc..
