Microsoft Windows includes a great tool which allows you to easily perform a clean-up of your computer’s hard drive. The Disk Cleanup tool will help you to free up disk space on your computer and will assist with performance issues. I have also mentioned the Windows Disk Cleanup utility in my Improve the performance of Windows post.
TIP: Look through the options and see which ones will allow you to reclaim the most disk space. As you place a tick in the box the Total amount of disk space you gain will update.
Now that you have completed the Disk Cleanup, it may be worthwhile to check out other ways you can improve the performance of your computer.

As a follow-up to my previous post, how to set your own photo as your Desktop Wallpaper, I’m going to show you how to adjust the size of a photo being used as your desktop wallpaper. By resizing a photo you avoid any distortion which can be encountered from time to time. I tend to find that either the photo is distorted and people’s faces often look squashed or a part of the photo is chopped off to make it fit.
The important part of setting a photo as your desktop wallpaper is ensuring that the width and height of the photo will match the proportions of your computers’ monitor. Computer monitors come is so many different shapes and sizes now that it’s impossible to ensure that your photos are going to match the dimensions without any issues.
I will now show you how to use Microsoft Paint to resize a photo for use as the desktop wallpaper for Windows 7 and 8 as well as Windows 10.
I hope this has assisted to customise your computer’s desktop background with your own photo.
