I forgot to remove my hat  Please Excuse me..


Ok  What  I am looking to find out is how do  I remove all my old junk that is in the computer.. 


I seem to be running low on memory  I guess?    that is what  I have gotten from the computer.


I have gone to the tools and deleted the files and cookies    I just want to know from anyone is HOW do I delete junk  stuff  I go too everyday over and over again.. this seems to be using up space  and space is what  I don't want to use up.


Now   This computer is a Xp emachine  2 yrs old and I would like it to run longer but I don't know if if will run out of space or time  and I will need a new one..


I just hope someone can help me.. thanks  BOY am I stupid..

I bit the bullet so to speak and installed it on two of my computers here at home just the past week or so. I was getting worried with so many security leaks out there.

Hi! A newbie here. I read your promo on schizophrenia board & decided to take a look. Earlier in this thread, you mentioned about backing up your programs. How is this done exactly? Also, you mentioned recipes. I have tons of them in folders in my

Your recipes are taking up room at Yahoo. And you have lots of room there now so that shouldn't be a problem.


The way I back up is to open my CD burning program.....I have Easy CD Creator from Roxio, I find the files I want to back up the program will show you what to do but I drag mine into the area for burning and at the bottom each thing I drag in there will show up on the space meter. So I can tell how much space is going to be taken up on the cd. I usually don't drag folders I just open them up and drag the contents cause I can reused the folders. But you can also make more. I make sure that my program is set to be an open session so that I can add more to it later then I hit the record button.


When I am done. I will either open the cd or put it in the CD rom drive and open it and make sure that I got everything that I wanted....Check out your program to make sure how it works and if you need to you can go to their website and most of them have forums that

Thank you, Janet. I have seen the Roxio easy cd creator under installed programs. I take it, that the same blank cd's that my dd uses to burn her music will hold my files that require backing up. Wish me luck! This is all new to me. Jan
