Increase your Computer Speed

Step 1:- First of all, if your computer is running slowly, you need to run a spyware removal program. I recommend Adaware by Lavasoft. It will remove all spyware from your computer and it's free.

Step 2:-If it still runs slowly, you should check to see how much free space you have on your hard drive. If it is nearly full, you should consider deleting some files that you no longer need to free up space. Computers load faster if they have less to load.

Step 3:-If you still can't seem to improve performance, you may need to consider istalling more RAM to your computer. An increase in RAM will give your computer more memory that it can draw on when running multiple programs.

Hide Your Harddrives Easily

If you have sensitive or important data stored on a particular disk drive that you don’t want anyone to see, a great way to hide it is to remove the drive letter assigned to a particular mounted volume. With Windows XP, you can achieve this easily using nothing more than the Command Prompt. Here's how:
- Click Start -> Run (This brings up the Run dialog box)
- Type cmd and press Enter (This brings up the Windows Command Prompt)
- Type diskpart in the command prompt and press Enter (This launches the Diskpart utility within the Command Prompt window)
- Now type list volume (This displays a list of all mounted volumes on your computer and their associated drive letters)


- you would like to hide drive E, type select volume 6
- Now type remove letter E (Note: This sometime requires a reboot)
Diskpart will now remove the drive letter. The drive will no longer be available via Windows Explorer or My Computer.

Don’t worry though, your data remains safe!

Now, should you want to unhide the drive and make it accessible again, just repeat the above process. But instead of typing remove letter E, type assign letter E
