Posted: 23:09 - 16 Feb 2006 Post subject: Speed Up Your PC |
|
|
Pretty bored so thought i would post this little tip, alot of peoples computers i have come across take forever to load when your turn them on. This is usually because of excessive startup programs appearing in the bottom right corner of your pc (system tray)
This little trick will stop alot of those programs (99% of them are useless) and make your pc start up and run quicker.
Click Start
Run
Type in the command box msconfig
Then click on the tab startup.
It should now look like this except all of the boxes will be ticked.

Scroll down them all and untick every single one except your antivirus, spyware program or firewall if you use them.
You can find out what each program is either by the command name or look at the file extension in the location.
For example top line of mine is qttask. Command name is c:\programfiles\QUICKTIME
This means the apple quick time player.
Once you have unticked all of them press ok and restart your pc, you should hopefully see a improvement on the startup speed.
Don't worry about what you untick you can easily retick it when your pc has loaded back up. |

Windows 2000 is so 6 years ago.
I always see people with like 50 icons in the system tray and their pc's crawl. Should be nice and neat like mine. |

Can anyone point me in the direction of a free downloadable virus blocker and spyware dectector, that isn;t a trial which will run out in 30 days.
I've not had a virus scan for about 5 months. |

I think viruses are overrated anyway, trojans and spyware are the ones to watch out for but can be cured reletively easily. |

My top tip for speeding up your PC:
Install Linux!
I run Knoppix "https://www.knoppix.org" on my Desktop, and Ubuntu "https://www.ubuntu.com" on my laptop. I use it on weekends to dj at a local club, makes mp3 mixing a breeze, and support a lot of hardware!
