People were always asking me, “What is the easiest way to speed up of computer?” So I thought I would put together and easy five-step program that can speed up any computer.
First, were going to deal with temporary files. The easiest way to clean clot on your hard drive is to simply browse to your Start Menu, select All Programs, go to Accessories, to System Tools, and select Disk Clean-up. Running your disk clean-up will remove any unwanted files or unnecessary files which can clutter up your hard drive.
When disk clean-up has finished calculating what files you can get rid off, you will see and interface similar to this, depend upon what scheme you have selected in your Windows XP or Windows Vista. Here you can select or deselect different ones you want to remove and simply select okay, that completes the first option.
Step two, where you see most of your performance improvement is you need to go to your Start Menu, right click My Computer and select Properties. Once the System Properties windows opens up, select the Advance Tab, and under Performance you go ahead and select the Settings Tab. Hitting designated whether windows does all those of little fancy shadows and animated windows, of course here I have selected mine as set ‘for best performance’ which gives me as much I can impossibly get. You can go ahead to do a custom and select which option you still want to save or you do things like use visuals styles on windows. Once you selected you selected which items you want to disable or if you want to disable it all. Just simply select okay.
Another option that you can disable which uses a lot of system resources this is the indexing service. To alter the indexing service, we can go to My Computer, and right click you hard drive, select properties, and at the bottom here is says “Allow Indexing Service” to index the disk for fast files searching. Which it does make file searching a little quicker, but unless your constantly searching your hard drive for files. It is really not necessary. You will simply unselect it and select okay, here you going to see that you have chosen to make the following attribute changes, select simply apply changes to C and also folders and files and select okay. The window will browse through all the files and change the attributes. Once complete, it will simply disappear.
When completing this actually, you may or may not see the following notification that “An error occurred applying attributes to the file” that just simply means that the file is open and the attributes can not be applied currently. So what you will need to do is select, ‘ignore all’ and it will complete the operation. A quick notice to know that I have paused the video while I was completing the operations and those processes will take a little bit longer on your machine.
Step number four, would be the simply used the Windows update feature which you can get too by going your Start, All Programs, and Windows Update. Not only can you receive added the performance enhancement from Microsoft but as well these enhancements can as well protect your computer against any malicious or different malicious types of software entry. Here is of view of the windows update welcome page and you can simply do it in express install or customized install if you would rather select the different option that you can install. But adding these can give you added performance enhancements.
Last but not least would be to optimize your computer. The windows registry is a database that actually contains all the core operating procedures for the windows operating system—how it should act, how it should behave, what it should do in any certain scenario, when installing and uninstalling programs, or do the crashes or just at any point in time information changes in the registry constantly, anytime your altering program or adding programs or removing programs. So the easiest way would be to use something a utility for optimizing which one of my favorites is the PC registry cleaner program. There are many other qualified products out there, but once again this is one of my favorites.
This is a very easy to use program, you can simply select the categories which you wish to scan and you choose ‘starts scan now’ and actually checks the whole registry for you and will actually show you a detail report at the end of what settings that is going to alter and change, so if you need to, you can deselect any item that you do not want to change and as well as it includes a restore feature which can be used to actually reverse any changes if you need be, it really pikes a punch whenever it comes to fixing the registry. It is a really good program, very stable and they have great support, they offer support not just for their program but any ongoing issue you may experience which is a plus when dealing with any software company.
You can download a trial of this program at www.pcregistrycleaner.com for as well I will open the webpage here so it is more recognizable for you. This is a quick view of the homepage for the product. Once again, that is www.pcregistrycleaner.com if you like to take a look of that program. Thank you for watching.
