How to Clean Up Your Computer to Make it Run Better after Years of Use... Windows 10 - Google Chrome - Step by Step Instructions.

I Have Found that Doing This about Once a Week Fixed the Problems that I was Having with the Computer Just Freezing... and Programs Refusing to Start... and The Whole Damn Thing Running Slower Than The Second Coming of Christ!

First: I Uploaded all my Photographs to Google Drive and deleted them from My Laptop. I also Uploaded all my "Words of Wisdom"- I write a lot but there is no reason to keep copies of what I write On My Laptop... It's Important to Give your Pictures Meaningful Names so you can search for them on Google Drive... Or Store them on Thumb Drives... Microsoft also gives away free storage Space... 

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Once a Week I delete Browsing History AND COOKIES on Google Chrome. I KEEP ALL THE PASSWORDS... That way it's easy to sign into all my favorite websites... 

a REALLY GOOD IDEA would be to Save Your Passwords Written in Pencil on a Piece of Paper... Keep it in a Safe Place (like Your Wallet) ... That way If Google Chrome Magically Deletes all your saved Passwords you can simply READ IT... Last Week Google Forgot All My Passwords... Glad I Had a Backup Copy on Microsoft EDGE... 

delete history

ALL THE WAY ON THE LEFT ARE THE WORDS
"CLEAR BROWSING DATA"
Click on those words and This Menu Appears!

clear browsing data


For Some Reason Browsers Keep a History of Everywhere You Have Ever Been and Keeps Cookies from all those places... Well... I Think that Screws Up the Computer so I Clear It Once a Week...  chrome://settings/clearBrowserData

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Find the Disk Cleanup App in Windows 10

I do Disk Cleanup Once a Week Also... 

TWICE... One for Regular Files and Again for System Files... 

Disk Cleanup
After You Clean Up The Normal Files...
Run Disk Cleanup Again and this Time...
Click on the "Clean Up System Files Button"
and This Menu Pops Up!
Disk Cleanup System Files

This program always fails to actually delete the Temporary Internet Files... That's a Mystery... But... WhatEVER!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Another Application that You Can Find by Typing the 
Work DISK into Search is:
"Defragment and Optimise Drives"
Defragment and Optimise Drive App
This App Takes a LONG TIME to Do It's Work...
Sometimes an HOUR!
So Set it running and then Go Do Something Else...
Like Watch a TV Show or
Take a Walk Down by The Creek...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

"Scan Disk"
Searches for Errors on the Disk Drive Itself
and Fixes them!
How to find the FILE EXPLORER APP
Type the Word FILE in Search:

In FILE EXPLORER:
Click on This PC - Drive (C:)
How to find SCAN DISK


On the Top Left the Second Icon is
a Picture of a Piece of Paper with a Checkmark on it...
Opens up a Menu for Drive (C:)
Click on the Tools Tab
and Run Error Checking!
How to run the Error Checking Application


ONE FINAL THING!
Maybe the Trouble is With The RAM... 

Type "Memory" into the Search Box... Close all Running Applications... Run as Administrator... 

Windows Memory Diagnostic App

The Windows Memory Diagnostic App Tests all the RAM Chips and... In My Case... NO Problem Found... Hooray!


Once I Had to Take My Computer Down to a Repairman and He Replaced all the RAM Chips... At That Time I Found that It Was Very Significant That I was Having the Exact Same Troubles that Jeff Bridges was Having in the Movie TRON! Of Course... I was Drinking a LOT of Coffee and Smoking Tobacco and so... Paranoid Schizophrenia made me think a LOT of Strange Invalid Things...

Just like we all learned by Reading "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig... The Trick to Life is to PAY ATTENTION... NOTICE REALITY...

So, Every Day I Test my Blood Sugar and BY PAYING ATTENTION and Keeping a Sugar Free Diet... I Have Prevented Diabetes... I find that Quitting Smoking Tobacco AND Cannabis... Has Given me Better Lungs and a Clearer Mind. Weed is Useful for APPRECIATING Music, Art, Food... but  I Get More DONE Without Weed... More Music Videos, More ART, More Fiction Stories... Hey, Just because They Legalized Weed does not mean that I Have to Actually Smoke it... UNLESS I'M GOING TO A ROCK CONCERT... or some other Event that I Am Observing others Creating... I find that Playing the Piano Stoned is EPIC to me... but the Actual Videos that i Recorded Stoned are Not That Great... I have difficulty selecting which notes to play and When... Even on songs I wrote... It's Like My Brain is having trouble with the LOOKUP NEXT NOTE Function... Everybody Says You Really SWING when playing Stoned but that doesn't happen to me...

How I Quit Smoking Tobacco: When my Brother Got Lung Cancer I Became frightened. Cancer Runs in Families and If HE Got It, I'm Likely to Get it Too. SO... I used Fear to Quit. I experienced Pain for about a Month from the Withdrawal Symptoms... I did not use any Medicine... Frankly speaking, That New Medicine has MANY, MANY, MANY side effects... and Nicotine Gum and The Patch Causes Madness in Me... Paranoia... It Shortenes my Anger Fuse... As if I was "Channeling My Inner Chewbacca."  SO... I Just Experienced the Pain and USED That Memory to Prevent a Relapse... I still WISH I Could Smoke But... Then I Remember HOW MUCH Pain Drug Addiction Causes...

Great Books: "The Tao of Pooh" by Benjamin Hoff and "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values" by Robert Pirsig

https://www.amazon.com/Tao-Pooh-Benjamin-Hoff/dp/0140067477

The how of Pooh? The Tao of who? The Tao of Pooh!?! In which it is revealed that one of the world's great Taoist masters isn't Chinese--or a venerable philosopher--but is in fact none other than that effortlessly calm, still, reflective bear. A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh! While Eeyore frets, and Piglet hesitates, and Rabbit calculates, and Owl pontificates, Pooh just is.

And that's a clue to the secret wisdom of the Taoist



https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Art-Motorcycle-Maintenance-Inquiry/dp/0060589469/

One of the most important and influential books written in the past half-century, Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a powerful, moving, and penetrating examination of how we live . . . and a breathtaking meditation on how to live better. Here is the book that transformed a generation: an unforgettable narration of a summer motorcycle trip across America's Northwest, undertaken by a father and his young son. A story of love and fear -- of growth, discovery, and acceptance -- that becomes a profound personal and philosophical odyssey into life's fundamental questions, this uniquely exhilarating modern classic is both touching and transcendent, resonant with the myriad confusions of existence . . . and the small, essential triumphs that propel us forward.




Great Books: "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse (History of The Buddha)... and... "The Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield


https://www.amazon.com/Siddhartha-Novel-Hermann-Hesse/dp/0553208845/

It is the story of the quest of Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege and comfort to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom. On his journey, Siddhartha encounters wandering ascetics, Buddhist monks, and successful merchants, as well as a courtesan named Kamala and a simple ferryman who has attained enlightenment. Traveling among these people and experiencing life’s vital passages–love, work, friendship, and fatherhood–Siddhartha discovers that true knowledge is guided from within.

Pay Attention to Odd Coincidences... it's the Universe Trying to Send you a Message... 

In the rain forests of Peru, an ancient manuscript has been discovered. Within its pages are 9 key insights into life itself -- insights each human being is predicted to grasp sequentially; one insight, then another, as we move toward a completely spiritual culture on Earth. Drawing on ancient wisdom, it tells you how to make connections among the events happening in your life right now and lets you see what is going to happen to you in the years to come. The story it tells is a gripping one of adventure and discovery, but it is also a guidebook that has the power to crystallize your perceptions of why you are where you are in life and to direct your steps with a new energy and optimism as you head into tomorrow.



Great Book: "The Empty Mirror: Experiences in a Japanese Zen Monastery" by Janwillem van de Wetering, a Detective Fiction Writer of "Outsider in Amsterdam"

https://www.amazon.com/Empty-Mirror-Experiences-Japanese-Monastery/dp/0312207743/

Seen by many as a contemporary classic, Janwillem van de Wetering's small and admirable memoir records the experiences of a young Dutch student―later a widely celebrated mystery writer―who spent a year and a half as a novice monk in a Japanese Zen Buddhist monastery. 

It is the first book in a trilogy that continues with A Glimpse of Nothingness and Afterzen.

https://www.amazon.com/Outsider-Amsterdam-Cops-Janwillem-Wetering/dp/1616953004/

On a quiet street in downtown Amsterdam, a man is found hanging from the ceiling beam of his bedroom, upstairs from the new religious society he founded: a group that calls itself “Hindist” and supposedly mixes elements of various Eastern traditions. Detective-Adjutant Gripstra and Sergeant de Gier of the Amsterdam police are sent to investigate what looks like a simple suicide, but they are immediately suspicious of the circumstances.

This now-classic novel, first published in 1975, introduces Janwillem van de Wetering’s lovable Amsterdam cop duo of portly, wise Gripstra and handsome, contemplative de Gier. With its unvarnished depiction of the legacy of Dutch colonialism and the darker facets of Amsterdam’s free drug culture, this excellent procedural asks the question of whether a murder may ever be justly committed.

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.
