The first thing you will notice when you use your new computer for the first time is the speed and smooth running of the system, applications, internet searches and file downloads.
But the more you use your computer you will notice it starts to slow down, starting up takes longer and applications launch slower.
This is because your system starts getting clogged with temporary set-up files from application installations, temporary files that get left after removal of software, cookies and temporary internet file from websites visited and thumbnails from pictures downloaded. All this drains on the system resources that takes up large chunks of memory. The best way to keep on top of this is to clear your system cache at least once every 2 months. Windows do have a set of tools to do this, but can take up to 15 mins to complete depending on laptop/computer performance.
So the quickest way to do this is to
Copy the short script below in to Notepad
ECHO OFF
CLS
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc\Parameters /v FormatDatabase /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
ECHO Now reboot the machine to clear the Client Side Cache.
PAUSE
Save the file as delete cache.cmd to the desktop
Right click on the icon
Select run as administrator
After 2 seconds the command prompt window will open
Press any key to continue
Then restart computer
On restart the system will delete the system cache before loading windows this process should take no more than 2 mins or less to complete
You will then notice that your computer is running a lot faster.
To find notepad go to

This is also fairly quick to do depending on amount of cache that needs to be cleared
This will breathe new life in to old machine
