Free your ram and improve system performance

1) Start any application, say Excel. Open some large documents.
2) Now go to Windows Task Manager and click Processes tab and sort the list in descending order on Mem Usage. You will notice that excel will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.

3) Now switch to excel and simply minimize it. (Don’t use the Minimize All Windows option of the task bar).
4) Now go back to the Windows Task Manager and see where xcel is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find excel. Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Surprised? The memory utilization has reduced by a huge amount.
5) Minimize each application that you are currently not working on by clicking on the Minimize button & you can increase the amount of available RAM by a substantial margin. Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together, the difference can be as much as 50 percent of extra RAM.
In any multitasking system, minimizing an application means that it won’t be utilized by the user right now. Therefore, the OS automatically makes the application use virtual memory & keeps bare minimum amounts of the code in physical RAM.

Uninstall programs from your Windows Mobile Device

How-to uninstall Windows Mobile programs using WMDC.
Removing software from our devices using WMDC is as easy as it should be. All we need to do is connect our device using either USB or Bluetooth.
Click “Programs and Services”
Click “more>>”
Click “Add/Remove Programs”
You will be presented with a screen similar to the one below.
Addremove programs
All you need to do now is ensure that the tickbox next to the program you want to uninstall is unticked.
Once you press OK, your computer will leave the programs with ticks next to them and uninstall the programs which do not have ticks on them. This does not remove the software from your computer. You will need to remove the software through Windows Control Panel to achieve a full uninstall, or run the corresponding Windows Uninstaller.
As the programs are all fairly small, I generally leave them on my computer in case I decide I want to reinstall the software on my device at a later date. Changing the tickbox again will reinstall the program.

How-to uninstall Windows Mobile programs using ActiveSync.
ActiveSync also offers us an easy way to remove programs from our devices.
Connect your device to ActiveSync
Click “Tools”
Click “Add/Remove Programs”
You will be presented with screen similar to the screenshot below.
Activeaddremove
Untick the programs that you no longer want on your device and select “OK”
Your device will now remove the software from your device.

How-to uninstall Windows Mobile programs using your device.
DeviceprogramsIf we do not have a computer nearby or would like to do it on the run, the device itself offers us an option to remove software.
Tap “Start”
Tap “Settings”
Tap the “System Tab”
Tap “Remove Programs”
You will be presented with a screen like the screenshot on the right.
Highlight the software you want to uninstall and tap “Remove”.
Your device will now remove the desired software from your device.
If all else fails…
The above methods are the ideal way to remove software from your device. Occasionally, you may come across a program that is not in the list. This is the case where you would use File Explorer to navigate your device and delete the folder from your devices “Program Files” folder. If it is not in the list, there is a good chance that there is no records of the software elsewhere on the device or in the registry.
If you have to use this method a lot, it may be worthwhile reinstalling the firmware of your device which will clear out everything, much the same as reinstalling Windows on our desktop computer fixes just about every unfixable problem. Of course, this will take some time to do but your device will run better in the long run.
