This topic is suitable for all types of systems or
windows OS. XP OS may differ from the instructions that are specified below, so
it is highly recommended for Windows 7, Vista users. It is not true that, only
these settings will improve your system performance, but it will definitely
help you to improve a lot more than your current status.
The things you have to follow are :
GET RID OF UNNECESSARY DISPLAY SETTINGS
Windows has a lot of built in visual effects that
really don’t do anything, and you probably won’t really even notice that they
are gone. By removing some of these unnecessary visual options you can help fix
your slow computer or just improve performance.
To disable all the effects,
1.
Click Start and Right Click My
Computer, Click Properties
2.
Click the Advanced System Settings tab
3.
Under Performance
Section, Click Settings button
4.
Click Adjust for Best Performance
and then Click OK.
REGULARLY DEFRAGMENT YOUR HARD DRIVES
Regularly defragmenting your systems Hard Drives is probably one of the
easiest ways to improve system performance. Many people seem to think that if
you fill up your computer with BEEFY Processors and Gigabytes of memory, your
computer will be screaming fast. What they fail to realize is a slow performing
Hard Drive (Poor Disk IO) plays a VERY significant role in the Performance of a
Computer. A messy Hard Drive (Defragmented) can bring a system to it’s knees
quickly.
One thing to remember is that in order to Defrag your drive efficiently,
you should try to keep 15% of your drive free when you initiate the clean-up.
Although the 15% rule isn’t a requirement, when the system begins moving files
around to optimize the drive the more space available the better (and faster).
DISK CLEANUP
To Clean up your disk :
1.
Double Click the My Computer icon.
2.
Right-Click your drives and Click Properties.
3.
Click Disk Cleanup.
4.
Click OK.
5.
Repeat for
each drive.
DON’T USE A
DESKTOP PICTURE
It might be really cool having your favorite scenery, car, or
super-model on your desktop. But, did you know that this uses up system
resources thus slowing down your PC performance? If you opt to remove the image
and just use a plain color background it can help increase your computer speed.
1.Right
click anywhere on Desktop .
2. Click personalize
and look for Desktop Background and choose none .
3. Click ok .
SIMPLIFY WINDOWS EXPLORER BROWSING & IMPROVE
STABILITY
Improve your folder browsing so that a single
Explorer window does not take the rest of your system down by launching each
window in a separate folder & disabling network prefetch.
1.
Click Start menu and Click My Computer
2.
Click Organize tab from File Menu at the top of
the window
3.
Click Folder and Search Options & Click
the View tab
4.
Check and Un-Check two separate boxes – First, Uncheck
the box that says Automatically search for network folders and
printers. Then scroll down and Check the box that says Launch
folder windows in a separate process
SCAN FOR SPYWARE AND VIRUSES
Spyware and Viruses are becoming more and more common as the
internet continues to expand. If your security features aren’t 100% up to date
you can acquire a virus or spyware simply by just browsing the internet. Once
your computer is infected it will really hurt it’s performance among other
problems including information vulnerabilities and complete system failure. The
best way to go about protecting yourself is to make sure you always have all of
the latest Windows Updates installed. And another way to keep yourself safe is
to get an Anti-Virus program.
