I am following "Judy in the States " 1 stop routine pc maintenance.

Not sure what "Judy in the States " 1 stop routine pc maintenance actually tells you to do!

Which browser are you using - Intenet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome ???

[granabella]

Hello Elaine thanks for the reply I am using Internet Explorer I have for some time noticed my Home page takes a long time to download you might have an idea about that as well keeping my fingers crossed.

I never use Internet Explorer as I find the whole thing painfully slow!:F

Which version are you using - click on Help and then About Internet Explorer - and you´ll see the version number.

that method of Judy in the states is extremely thorough but I have found this works well enough for me
click on tools at the top just below where you put a web site address then scroll to Internet options right at the bottom click on that ,then at Browsing History click on delete and you will get a list of what you want to delete, I would put a tick next to all but cookies and saved passwords ,then click on delete at the bottom good luck

I use FireFox and it has a plugin called "HideBad" it is highly configurable. you can set so canplace it on your tool bar and then just press it every so often to clear your cache,browser history, search history ..

Bella, I always used to use IE but when it updated to, I think, 7 it was ridiculously slow so I downloaded 'mozilla firefox'. It is completely free and much faster than IE. I never use IE any more.

Good luck

Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable | Mozilla Europe

you can download Firefox from here its an alternative to IE

you could try downloading CCleaner and run it

Download CCleaner 2.25.1025 - FileHippo.com

Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable | Mozilla Europe that will take you to firefox home page , and yes is free it will automatically trasfer you saved cookies passwords and book marks for you ..

before useing CCleaner try to defrag your computer first it can work wonders

1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Selct the Control Panel Home
4. Click System and Maintenance
5. Under the Administrative Tools section at the bottom, click Defragment your hard drive
6. You may need to grant permission to open the disk fragmenter
7. Click or unclick Run automatically (recommended) depending if you want this feature enabled or disabled.
8. Click OK

They are called bookmarks on Mozilla - you'll find the tab along the top of the screen - File / Edit / View / History / Bookmarks / Tools / Help

[granabella]

You can set your home page to whatever you want.
I normally use google - http://www.google.co.uk

If you click on Tools, then Options and then the Main tab, just put in the url of whatever you want to use for your home page.
