The Documents file is much more than a simple category in
your start menu. Here you will find the My Documents
feature. Windows uses My Documents as the default storage
system for Windows. This can become a bulky, waste of system
resources, if you don't clear it out.
Periodically go through your My Documents folder and
delete files you don't need. Open the folder by clicking on
your desktop icon. If you don't have a shortcut on your
desktop, follow these steps.
- Double-click My Computer.
- Double-click the C drive.
- Open the My Documents folder.
Remember to empty the Recycle Bin when you're finished
deleting your files.
Another feature in Documents is a list of every document
you've recently modified or saved. To clear your Documents
history, follow these steps.
- Right-click the taskbar.
- Select Properties.
- Choose the Start Menu Programs tab.
- Press the Clear button.
It's best to clear your documents folder and history once
a week.
