Download Folder files
After using Auslogics BoostSpeed to try and increase the free space on my main drive C, I've accidentally purged my entire Downloads folder and deleted everything that was stored there which made my to try and recover the files. First using Auslogics BoostSpeed to try search for them unsuccessfully as well as several other software that does the same. I've only managed to find few of the files I was looking for during one of the early scans which I foolishly did not try and immediately recover which caused me to no longer be able to find the files in later searches to find more of it.

Start Up
Hi,
From time to time I get a notification that "Windows Start up took 1m 40sec" or similar with the suggestion that I look at the start up programmes with, I presume, the idea of reducing that time.
I am all for doing just that, however, when I open the Start Up I am confonted with a list of apps which for the most part mean very little to me. I have no idea what disabling any particular app will do; whether it would have a detrimental or beneficial effect on my system.
I would be grateful for any advice or suggestions you may be able to give to help me.
I had thought to supply you with a list of the apps but can find no way to even copy a list into a word document, so maybe you could help me to accomplish that so that you will be better able to help me!
Alternatively, I am happy for you to use remote access.
Regards,
Donald Stewart
