Try clearing out your temporary internet files.

Woah, hope you're not trying to steal anything i still have to smack cel for that, the dumb-somethin cos he knows not to do that... anyway, if you have a pc try this

START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS > DISK CLEANUP

then you select the c drive and click okay, make sure you have temp internet files selected on the list that comes up, and click okay

If you do it regulary it will take some less time the next times
Just do that disk clean up for like 1 time a week, the end of the week for example. It will keep your computer fast and clean :)

It always takes some time, and defenitally if your TEMP file folder is very full. Make sure you don't got any IE windows open etc, that's the best thing to close the most things that you are able to close.

I keep forgetting that my computer is very fast and does it in about 3.2 seconds TOTAL, lol, but yes you just have to wait its really slow most of the time especially if you don't clean regularly... i clean every 2 days :)

ugh.. i had loads of stuff in my recyle bin that i forgot about, took me like.. 20 mins for it to empty. I tried it again for 15 mins but it doesnt do anything......... How would i get to the folders from my documents? Would it be safe it i just deleted them from the folders themselves? cant think of anything else... :/

The best is to have patient for it to run, and to close everything else. I know it takes a while to load etc but when you delete yourself you might delete files that are nessecary for something and if you delete more ofthat the change is big that you have to re-install things on your computer again.

The disk cleanup knows what to delete and whatnot, so you don't need to figure out wich files you can delete and whatnot.

I'm sorry that if it's really slow, but you can clean up your TEMP folder yourself if you want. Dont' delete cookies, they are important but most computers ask this when you want to delete them. Do the following:

go to your Temporary internet files folder mostly this is C:\windows\Temporary Internet Files. Then push ctrl+a so that everything get's selected. if you have this then you push "delete" and it will ask "Do you want to delete your cookies too?" or something similar to that. Push "NO" and it will continue. Now it will delete all the images etc fromt he site's you've visited the last weeks and the cookies will still be there. Now run the disk cleanup again and see if it got any faster.

also this might work:

start > settings > configuration > internet settings > under Temporary internet files click "settings" and then set MB to 100 or something

it will say what space you watn to use for the TEMP files and what not. You can set it to your own needs. So if you only want to use 60MB for TEMP you can set it to 60MB :)
