"Temp" Folder - Part 2

This is the second part of this tutorial on how to increase the performance of your computer without having to format your whole computer.
In this part I'll tell you how to get a few more free space with the "Temp" Folder.

If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 you just need to go to the Start bar and write: %Temp%
It Should appear something like this.
Double Click on the folder and a series of files will appear. You can erase them all, if the computer doesn't let you erase any just let it stay there.
That way you can clean up to several Gigabytes on your computer. You can just as easily erase the files on your "Trash" folder.

For those who use Windows XP-Pro you would have to use the the Search Tool or C:\Windows\Temp this link.

Disk Cleaning - Part 1

This is the first part of How to clean and increase your computer's speed with simple things.
This part is about using the tool of disk cleaning. I'm using Windows 7, but it's the same thing for Windows XP and Windows Vista.

First, go to your Computer and select the disk you want to clean. (In my case is C:)

Then Right click on disk and it will appear a menu.

(My screen shots would appear in Portuguese, but it's the same option in every language)
And choose the option Properties.

Then click on the Disk Cleaning button.

After clicking on that button this window should appear, wait for it to finish calculating.
Now you choose which items you want to clean or erase. And click OK
Now just let it finish the job and you will see that you will have more space on the computer to use

For those who don't know what this is, BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) is a protocol on every e-mail message service (Gmail; Yahoo; Hotmail; Etc.) that allows the sender, when he is sending an email to several contacts at the same time, to hide the contacts that he chooses. The contacts the sender writes on the "To:" and the "CC:" will be visible to everyone, but the ones on the "BCC:" will be hidden from everyone.

Now I'll show you how to add BCC to your emails on Gmail; Yahoo and Hotmail:

Gmail:

Yahoo:
Hotmail:
I don't have any print for hotmail, but it's on the right-up conner of the e-mail message.
