How to reset Explorer browser?

Computer is starting to act up again..slow in start up when first opened.

Some time ago I had a worse problem:

Computer was taking days, or so it seemed, to go from one website to another.

Back then, when I asked for help in improving the speed for such operations

back to normal I was told by some to junk my computer because it was too old.

But one intelligent lad told me to "reset" Explorer browser.

He gave me specific instructions which took only minutes to perform.

Once done my computer speed seemed to be faster than when I first brought

the computer home!...I would go from one website to another in moments!!

The instructions this guy gave me are lost.

Can someone help me by sending them to me anew?

If you have them please explain operation simply and step by step.

I'm as dumb as a sack of rocks when it comes to computers.

Thanks for your help.

    remove what ever it finds.

    you can run it from your desktop.

    and run it at the end of every internet session

    to clear out all the crud. http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
