There are thousands of computer related websites that offer free computer tips, tricks, help and support. There is endless information available about how to use computers, computer problem solving, and computer tips and tricks to tweak your machine. But the big question is, can you understand what they are trying to explain?
Obviously there are a number of outstanding computer help websites that have made it to the top of the rankings because they are great. However hundreds of slap dash computer tip websites appear every week. These websites are the culprit.
I have been working with computers for more than 20 years, and even I find it almost impossible to follow instructions from certain websites. Obviously if I can’t understand their tutorials, then they have a serious problem. Unfortunately sometimes they do not test their instructions to see if they actually work, or they sometimes leave one important step out. Leaving just one step out of a tutorial can render the entire process a waste of time and can also turn to disaster for a novice computer user.
This is why I have developed my website (Tips4pc) with every user in mind. For example if I had an article on “How to create a task in the Windows Task Scheduler” I would have to tell the reader how to find the Task Scheduler first. I would not simply presume that they know how to get there.
Also some people may laugh when they see tutorials on the absolute computer basics such as turning a computer on and off, using a computer mouse, moving a file, and so on. In this day and age it is a mistake to presume that everyone knows how to do these simple tasks, because believe me they do not.
Free computer tips and tricks can educate you and help you become an expert computer user, however you just need to understand the tutorials. If you are a new computer user you do not need the stress of trying to understand something that is not written with you in mind.

Help answer the question about computer tips
Any helpful tips for computer keyboard cleaning?I spilled some kind of juice on my computer keyboard, and it's sticky under the keys. My friend told me to pop the keys off, as it should pop back on after I clean it. Is this true? I don't want to pop off some keys and have it NOT go back on. Does anyone have any tips to clean the keys?

I rebuilt my partner's acer aspire after it blew up. She was always complaining it ran too slow. She had everything but the kitchen sink on it. I bought her a new computer and re-built hers, but this time made sure it was lean and mean – no programs I hardly ever used. Still had XP, Dragon naturally speaking, Office 2007, so it had lots of heavy duty programs, just not any unnecessary ones.. It is now lightning fast. My best recommendation is therefore, although a bit drastic, to back up to an external drive all the files and programs you think you may want and then do a clean install. Good article here:

If that's a bit too much for you and you just want a free all in one cleaner I've found Glary Utilities to be the best. Run this regularly and it will certainly speed up your computer, or stop it slowing down further. Download here:

That one does everything the paid for ones do, and the registry cleaner is less aggressive than some of the better known ones.
Also don't forget some anti-virus programs are notorious for slowing the computer down. NTL Net-guard/Virgin PC-guard being one example.
Follow these steps to do computer maintenance.
- run Disk Cleanup – from the System Tools section of Accessories
- Open My Computer, then Right Click on your C drive and pick PROPERTIES. Pick the Tools section and click on CHECK NOW. Check both tests, and YES, let it run after you restart. You see, CHECK DISK will ensure that your hard drive is working completely. This test might take an hour or so.
- run DEFRAG – from the System Tools section of Accessories.
Keep your anti-virus solution up to date, and run a full scan weekly.
Keep your anti-spyware solution up to date, and run a full scan every few days. I recommend the free SpyBot Search & Destroy that you can get from http://www.download.com
Do all of this regularly, and your computer will run better.
Good luck and Happy Computing!
Get a flash drive and put some stuff on it.
Also, you can clean up fragmented files (on a PC) by doing a Defrag:
To do this, go to My Computer, Right click on "Local Disk(C:)" and choose "Properties." Under the "Tools" tab, find where it says "Disk Defragmentation" and select "Defragment Now."
This shouldn't do any harm to your computer or files, but might clear up a little extra space for you!
