Resource Usage - Sidebar

There are lots of programs that will work on your computer, that will do the same basic functions. I am an adventurous person. I am constantly installing and uninstalling programs. Most of the time I hear about a programs that seems to help me work smart. Then I find out that it is either not working for me or it just lugs down work computer.

The easiest way, that I have found if a newly program is slowing down my computer is by using a sidebar gadget. It is labeled the CPU gadget. I keep the CPU gadget running all the time.

If you don't already have this gadget in the sidebar of your Windows Vista computer, just right click on the sidebar, then left click on Add Gadgets. A selection of available gadget will be displayed.

To put the CPU gadget or any other gadgets on the sidebar, just put your cursor over the gadget. Hold down the left mouse button, then drag it over the the sidebar, and lift your index figure off the left mouse button.
