2 Tips to Speed up your Computer

My friend taught me a couple ways to speed up my comp that actually work!

Try this one: Right click on the bottom tool bar, select: Properties, select: Start Menu, select: Classic Start Menu.

Another tip: Click on Start, Run, type in: msconfig, select startup, then uncheck the boxes of programs you don't want to start automatically when you boot your computer (these are the icons on the bottom right of your screen that will disappear when you take it off this list). Only uncheck boxes of programs you know for a fact you don't need to be running all the time in the background - such as chat messengers, audio programs, etc. Just make sure not to uncheck boxes that you aren't certain about (as it may seriously effect your computer). Since there's no reason for your audio player to always be running in the background, unchecking it here only means you'll have to manually click on the icon to open the program - which you're probably doing already anyhow! The less useless crap you have running in the background the faster your computer will perform! Cool, huh?

Do you have any good tips for speeding up computers?
