XP Speed Secret #1: Disable Extra Startup

Programs

There are certain programs that Windows will start every time you

boot up your system, and during the startup phase, they're all

competing for a slice of your CPU speed . Extra or unwanted items

in the startup list will definitely increase your startup time, perhaps

by several minutes. Some common examples are things related to

AOL, RealPlayer, Napster, instant messengers, and video managers.

If you're not sure about an item, no big deal. You can turn it off,

restart your PC, and see if everything seems to work. If not, you can

always go back and re-enable an item in the Startup list. This tip

alone should speed up your start-up by 250% . Here are is what

you have to do:

1. Go to Start button  Run

2. Type " msconfig ", without quotations

3. Hit enter key or click the OK button

4. A System Configuration Utility window will show up

5. Click the Startup tab

6. In the Startup tab you will see several boxes and some of them

will selected (checked). All you have to do is to uncheck

extra items that are of no use. If you run an antivirus

program it is not recommended to uncheck it.

7. After making you choices press the OK button, you will be

prompted to restart computer to apply changes.

8. After restarting your computer a dialogue will be displayed.

You can check the option for not showing this dialogue every

time your PC reboots.

XP Speed Secret #2: Remove Spyware, Adware,

and Malware

Have you scanned your system for spyware, adware and other

unwanted pests? 1 of 6 computers has some sort of Spyware or

Malware! They dramatically slow down your computer because they

use resources to generate popup ads, send spam, and often

interfere with the operation of good programs.

If you haven’t scanned recently , we recommend a free scan f rom a

good anti-spyware program. We prefer to use stand-alone, high

quality anti-spyware programs lik e XoftSpy Pro , w hich give us the

ability to scan and repair these problems in seconds.

FINAL NOTE: Recent testing has shown that stand-alone programs

do a much better job than the “all-in-one” packages (eg. Norton

Internet Security) at detecting spyware, adware, and malware.

XP Speed Secret #3: Optimize Display Settings

Windows XP can look sexy but displaying all the visual items can

waste system resources. To optimize:

1. Click the Start button

2. Select Control Panel

3. Double-click the System icon

4. Click the Advanced tab

5. In the Performance box click Settings

6. Leave only the following ticked :

a. Show shadows under menus

b. Show shadows under mouse pointer

c. Show translucent selection rectangle

d. Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop

e. Use visual styles on windows and buttons

7. Finally, click Apply and OK
