Basic Housekeeping...Part 4

Some would say that this Part is unecessary
And I will admit that it is optional.

You may chose to disregard this part if you wish
But I add it here simply because it is what I do next
as part of my basic housekeeping.

My rationale as I head towards a Defag
is to remove all that I do not need.

This way I clear as many clusters as possible
on my C Drive, enabling the defrag to "clean up" better


Before we start.
A WARNING.


If you reguarly access your most recent files in this way,
then disregard this part.

As here I will delete the shortcuts to my most recently used files.



Hit the START button and select DOCUMENTS
Here can be seen the last 15 files that I accessed.

I personally never use these shortcuts
So I will remove them prior to a Defrag.

 
  Select START..Then SETTINGS...Then TASKBAR & START MENU



Then select START MENU PROGRAMS Tab

Under DOCUMENTS MENU hit the CLEAR Button
This will delete those shortcuts

 

Hit the START button and select DOCUMENTS
All the shortcuts have been deleted.

As you continue to use your computer
these 15 most recent files will progressively re-build.



So here ends the Fourth Part of Basic housekeeping.

But we still have a little more to do before your computer
housework is completed.
