Over the course of this feature you'll learn how to send documents where you want with just a single click of the mouse, kill off unwanted services and optimise the resource-hogging swapfile. And plenty more.

There's so much advice we've had to split it up. We've got simple first steps, and if you want to improve the way you work, go to work faster. We show you how to fix problems, while in speed tweaks you'll discover how to make Windows run faster. And, for those who truly crave guru status we round off with some in-depth advice.

The end result is something we hope you'll refer to time and again: shortcuts to master, in-depth advice that could change the way you work, and daily routines to keep you and your data organised.
