Programs

Take off any you don't use and won't be using

  • Indexing

Removing Connections Restriction
Start your computer faster by removing unwanted programs which loads up at start up
Go to Start Menu -> Run, type msconfig and press enter
Go over to the Startup tab, click "Disable all" and enable what you only really need at startup.
  • Defrag
With default Windows Defragmenter
Go to My Computer -> Right click on drive to defrag -> Properties -> Tools -> Defragment
Click "Defragment"
Have it do it about 2 or 3 times so it'll be all done, each time it'll go faster

With specialized software
Defraggler - allows you to search and defrag specific files and clusters - useful for speeding up
the process Download from here.http://www.piriform.com/defraggler
Microsoft Bootvis - defragments files that can't be defragmented while Windows is running (like
boot files) Download from official microsoft website. For windows xp users only
O&O Defrag - more defrag options than the default defragger
Page Defrag - defrags normally locked Windows files (like pagefile.sys) during system startup
Download from official microsoft website
Raxco PerfectDisk - again more options and statistics
UniBlue Registry Booster - does what you thought Windows Optimizer was supposed to do,
except IRL. Microsoft Certified so no system32 worries Download from here
Further performance tweaks
Desktop graphics performance
Right click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced tab and then click on Performance
setting Adjust for best performance
Update video drivers to latest version (if possible, also, get the ones off of the manufacturer
website, not the Microsoft website, as those are usually outdated.)


  • Pagefile
Go to Start Menu -> right click on My Computer -> Properties -> General tab
Near the bottom of it, it says how much RAM you have, remember that
Go to Advanced tab -> click Settings under Performance options
Go to Advanced tab -> click Change under "Virtual memory"
If you have more than one hard drive, move the paging file to whichever one has the least amount of
data access and is the fastest; don't have the pagefile on the OS/applications drive unless it's your
one.
Remember how much RAM you have? Set the paging file to be custom size and both the initial and
maximum size to 2 times the size of your RAM
Click "OK" and you're done.
  • Yellow bars in Start Menu
These point out the newly installed programs, and just makes the start menu look untidy.
Right click on Start Menu and click Properties
Click Customize at the bottom of this dialogue box
Click on the Advanced tab and untick "Highlight newly installed programs"

  • Error Reporting
Since there's no chance of ever getting a reply from Microsoft if a program closes unexpectedly, turn
it off.
Right click my computer and go to properties>system
Go to the Advanced tab and click the Error Reporting button at the bottom
Click "Disable Error Reporting"

Another program which allows you to tweak an XP install is Tweak UI 2.1. It carries a host of options
ranging from what appears when you right click to altering which system default icons are allowed or
not allowed on the desktop and many, many more. Don't want your recycle bin on the desktop? Turn
