3. A keyboard gets full of gunge so Canned compressed air is useful to dislodge the grime. You can use a Vacuum cleaner, but make sure it has a soft brush and that you dont suck off the keys.
A good way is to spray the compressed air from one direction and have the vacuum cleaner ready at the other end to catch the dust.
Do not put a metal Vacuum cleaner anywhere near the CPU chips and Ram.

Or, just gently prise all the keys off with a flat head screwdriver. Place all the keys in a bowl of warm soap water and leave them for a bit. Then take them out, wait for them to dry. Once you've done this, get a piece of paper and turn your keyboard upside down on it. You'll be amazed at the amount of crap that is on that sheet - hair, crumbs and other things besides.
Also, whilst you're waiting for them to dry off, take a soapy cloth and clean between the raised bits in your keyboard. Then assemble the whole lot together once it has dried off.

You can also go to run, and type MS Config and look at the Startup tab.

A good program to clean/organise things that run at startup is
Startup Control panel. With this, you can rename, disable or delete entries with this.

6. Delete any unwanted E-mails and oragnise your mail. If you've used outlook and sent a large attachment, it will still be sitting there in the sent
items tray, so remember to delete those mails too.

Be careful when deleting any emails - there might be some important ones that you might need a year or two down the line for whatever reason and you could be left up the creek without a paddle if you've deleted them.
Another suggestion would be to sort your mail into folders like so: -
And do an export to PST every month with each of these folders, and delete them from your main PST file, so you end up with a bunch of PST files which will be easy to refer to if needs be.
