Keeping Track of Your Computer Storage

This week?s tip is a prelude to my tip for next week and a follow up from last week?s tip. Following these steps, you can easily keep track of how much space you have on your computer for new documents and programs.

1. Double-click on the ?My Computer? icon on your desktop
2. RIGHT click on your hard drive (labeled C)
3. Click on Properties
4. An easy to read pie chart informs you how much free space and how much empty space you have on your computer

# Hint: Your free space should be equal to or greater than twice the amount of RAM you have on your computer (example: 32 megabytes of RAM = 64 megabytes or greater of free hard drive space)
