Tidy Tuesday....What's on your Hard Drive?



Tidy Tuesday



Frustrated with the with your computer? WHY-It's following your demands. 

How would you feel to receive sporadic downloads attached with unknown strangers, unwanted ads and information that you really didn't need to process? Would you load up up quickly? How fast would you turn your pages? ....You get my point. This is your computers daily load and in order for it to carry such its has to be cleannn.... Below I've provided some very basic steps for you to follow. Truth is technology can be frustrating however there are (free) ways to make your computer work more efficiently.  


Don't download software from just any website
 Make sure that the website is trusted, and even if you do download something--and find it useless--make sure you delete it from your computer.

Using programs to keep your computer clean is not the exact right idea
 It uses a lot of space and also can cause system errors.

You turn on your computer/Open your laptop and there you see it…those tired programs that you never use and most of us don’t know how they got there……Its time to uninstall!

For windows users:
1.      Open Programs and Features by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking Programs and Features.
2.      Select a program, and then click Uninstall. Some programs include the option to change or repair the program in addition to uninstalling it. but many simply offer the option to uninstall. To change a program, click Change or Repair. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3.      If you are unsure about whether or not to delete a program….GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND,

Take out the trash.
Emptying the Recycle Bin—especially if you haven’t done it in a while—can free up hard drive space on your PC that could be better used for files and programs that you use and need (as opposed to those you've discarded).

1.      Open the Recycle Bin by double-clicking the Recycle Bin on the desktop.
2.      Do one of the following:
·         To delete one file, click it, and then press DELETE.
·         To delete all of the files, on the toolbar, click Empty the Recycle Bin.

Click the “Remove All Website Data” button alongside “Cookies and other website data” and confirm at the popup to delete all cookies

Click Show Cookies.... The Cookies window will appear.

Did Y'all know?

Keeping it in the Family Did y'all know that Raheem  (Khalil  Kain) from Juice was Maino's "Hi Hater" brother? Welp, I didn't and found it to be another case of "Keeping it in the family'.  (Don't get me wrong, Maino isn't a star or anything but he aight.) But anyway, once someone in the family makes it...chances are you will too (if you play your cards tight) simply because you'll be in "The Know" crowd.  Brothers-9 Years Apart                                                                  PS. I posted this because Khalil Kain was my baby daddy back in the day. (You aint know) lol 

Black History Month for ALL to Enjoy

So as we head towards the end of Black History Month, I decided to provide some insight on those we may not have learned about in school. LESSON! I randomly selected the Super Stars below to help me Show Off this week. Some of us put so many barriers up in Life that prevents us from accomplishing our goals. I'm Sleepy, I just got off work, and I'm tired are just few of the familiar phrases we often hear and say. I'm almost positive that those before us would laugh at the excuses we make so we can just chill. The Good news is that it's never too late for a Fresh New start. I hope the people below will inspire you to see that anything is possible with consistency, dedication and motivation. *Copy and Paste the Links below to your browser for more info  Ballerina    Michaela DePrince From:  A Remote orphanage in Sierra Leone “Who would want to adopt a girl who looks like you?” The orphanage staff would tell her. http://blackgirllonghair.com/2015/08/micha...
