Tips To Keep Your Computer’s Desktop Clean

Everyone is looking towards the New Year 2016 with lots hope and enthusiasm. There are many things that we have all planned to achieve during the next year. The idea is to try and make our lives better. In order to achieve optimum productivity we also need to have a fast computer that is clutter free and makes our lives easy. But a PC that has too many files and nothing can be sorted out only add to frustrations in our already busy life. Here are some simple tips that you can apply to get more productivity out of your PC.

  Use Folders

When we are talking about files, we tend to copy and paste so many files all at one place. This thing is not only true for the frequently created word or excel documents but also for the photos. The fact that it becomes very difficult to find the files we are looking for later on wastes a lot of time. Needless to say the amount of the efforts we have to undertake in order to get to the files that we are looking for. Create main folders and in them subfolders if required. All files must be placed in their relevant folders. If you are in a hurry, do it whenever you have time on your hands.

  Keep No Files on Desktop

Desktop is the first place that we see on a PC. And the desktop is something that keeps coming upfront whenever we browse between windows. The problem is that a cluttered desktop choked with too many files only adds to our mental frustration. We all have a habit of placing files on the desktop. But we do not tend to clear those files until they just pile up to become a big mess all over the desktop. The idea is to make sure that we keep on clearing our desktop on regular basis so that it does not look stuffed.

  Download Folder

Another place where files are placed and left unattended is the download folder. The internet speeds have increased tremendously during the last few years. This increased internet speed has put so much pressure on our PCs. And with unlimited data download packages, we often do not really think about the amount of files we are downloading on a routinely basis. Therefore shift your downloaded files to other folders if you need them and if not then delete them altogether. You do not need to keep download files in that folder for an indefinite period of time.

  Recycle Bin

The recycle bin was originally there to help us retrieve files that we had deleted accidently. Unfortunately, we use recycle bin too often for large sized files. This practice of sending too many files to the recycle bin will choke your PC and severely impair its ability to crunch numbers fast. Make a habit of checking your recycle bin to clear it of unwanted files. And if you feel the need to store some of the files placed in the recycle bin, just right click to restore them back to their original folders.

  Inspirational Wallpapers

There are many motivational and inspirational types of wallpaper available online. You can use these wallpapers as your desktop background to draw inspiration. You can also add some inspirational text message to the wallpapers to make things more surreal. There are many inspirational quote websites that offer quote with high quality background images or wallpapers. Download wallpapers from these websites and set them as your desktop background. You will enjoy having a more inspirational background rather than the sme desktop that you have become used to over a period of time.

  Desktop Customization Tool

There are many desktop customization tools available online. These applications can be used to display custom information on your desktop. These tools are also supported by different plugins to enhance their functionality. They also support many other useful gadgets, which besides improving the appearance of your desktop, also display percentage of battery, weather, and news updates. You can make use of our experience in the IT support Company in Dubai to increase the opportunities of your own profitability.
