Be A Lot More Productive with A Faster Windows XP
A slow PC should be a thing of the past. In this day of innovations and technology, using a slow personal computer will give you the idea of living through ancient times. It is for this reason that we usually find how to speed up their computers.
If you are on the same road, then you just came to correct place. Yes, there is a lot of tweaking and modifying involved in speeding up a PC. But hey, these easy sacrifices are always worth it.
Here is some of the tweaking I did to speed up my Windows:
> Its irritating to wait for menu delays. Cut down the time to load menu transitions through right clicking your desktop. Select Properties and Choose the Effects tab. Unmark the Animate windows menu lists. For those who use Windows XP, you can do this by right-clicking on the desktop, clicking Properties, choosing the Appearance tab, clicking the Effects option and deselect Use the following transition effects for menus and tooltips, then Choose OK.
> Speed up Windows Start Up by removing out the programs you dont use at start-up. For Windows 98 users, you can do this by going to Start and clicking Run. Type in MSConfig.exe and hit OK button select the Start up tab then deselect the programs you wish to discontinuethrough the startup. You see, you can only speed start up Windows if you cut down the programs and applications that your PC needs to wake up.
> Defrag may be an old school process but it doesnt fail to help anyone who has speed problems. Look for the defrag option under your System Tools menu from the Accessories or Start Tab. Make sure that you give a time for defragging. Operating different software as the same time as defragging restricts the process itself.
> Selecting to install your programs would be best if you always encounter script and other minor errors. Always scan your PC for viruses before backing up any files. Also, be sure that you have a copy of your hardware drivers and program installers before trying to delete the contents of your hard drive Reinstalling your program takes at least an hour or so
> Removing programs that you do not use. Applications, though you are making use of them or not, eat up space in your hard disk. If you arent making use of them, then is there still a need to keep them?
