If your computer is starting to run slow then it is time that you were thinking of tuning it. CCleaner is an excellent and free application that you can use to speed up the performance of your computer and it is one of the tools that the iPing engineers use when performing health checks on our customers' computers.

If you have had Windows installed on your computer for quite some time and have installed and uninstalled lots of applications, it is likely that your registry is also in need of a fine tune and this is another function of CCleaner.

CCleaner will also help you to find free space on your computer by cleaning the recycle bin, memory dumps, file fragments, log files, system caches, application data, and various other data from your computer.

I advise you to run CCleaner with the default settings if you are planning on using it to tune your PC. To download CCleaner go to this website.

CCleaner is just one of the many tools iPing engineers are using to provide you with Total network peace of mind. If you would like us to have a look at your Network just contact us iPing provide IT & Computer support in Dublin & around Ireland.

When you save files to your hard disk, they are broken into small manageable blocks and then saved on to the hard disk. When there is enough space on your hard disk to save all of the blocks together on your computer, your computer will do this. Having all the blocks of a file continuously saved together on the hard disk really improves the performance of your computer.

Through general use of a computer you save, delete and create files, these can be Microsoft office files, music files or even big video files. You also install & uninstall programs from time to time on your computer. By doing this over a period of time, you use space on your computer’s hard disk and it starts to become fragmented i.e. small spaces on your hard disk start to appear that are too small to hold a single file.

When your computers hard disk is fragmented, your operating system saves files in different parts of the disk, as a result your computer will run slower when you are working on this file at a later stage.

Once a month you need to defrag your computer, so as to bring all the file blocks together on your hard disk for similar files. When you do this you will be able to access your files quicker and your computer will run better.

Recently I have been using Defraggler www.piriform.com/defraggler to defrag my computer and I suggest that you should use it once a month to help tune your computer.

Idea is when on a new computer, or someone’s who doesn’t have any apps installed, instead of downloading them one at a time and having to hit Next, Next, Next, etc… you can click all the apps you want, download them all at once, and it installs them all at once.

I am going to start off with a nice easy one and that is viewing your IP settings. Personally I like to view them using the old DOS command ipconfig.

To try this command for yourself you need to open a DOS window. To do this in Windows NT, 2000 and XP do the following.

Click Start.
Then Click run.
Then type cmd and press enter.

Once you have your DOS window open you are ready to start using the Ipconfig command. You will be presented with a prompt something like this.

C:\Documents and Settings\Mark Kelly>

Here you can now type in ipconfig and then press enter and this will return some basic IP settings on your PC like the IP settings on my PC below.

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.5
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

If you want some more detail on your PCs IP configuration why not try the following command and see what result you get.

Ipconfig /all
