Faster start-up

Posted on the November 5th, 2009 under Tutorial by admin

Rid your machine of superfluous extras and cut vital seconds from your start-up time

1. CONTROL PANEL TWEAKS Deleting applications you don’t need can help accelerate boot times – especially those that load into memory when you log in. go to the Control Panel and choose Uninstall a Program.
2. DELETING PROGRAMS To delete a program select it from the list and click Uninstall. Some may prompt you to restart. Wait until you’ve removed all programs you want to delete before rebooting your PC.
3. BE FRUGAL WITH FONTS When Windows Vista starts up, it loads all your fonts into memory. The memory you have, the longer this takes. It’s likely that you’ll only use a fraction of them – so you can safely remove those you don’t like.
4. IN THE BIN Go to Control Panel → Appearance and Personalisation. Click Install or Remove a Font. You’ll see a list of installed fonts in Windows Explorer. Double click on a font to preview it. To delete a font, just drag it to the Recycle Bin.
5. ADJUST VISUAL EFFECTS One last quick but rather drastic fix to speed up your system. Go to Performance Information and Tools in the System Maintenance section of the Control Panel and click Adjust Visual Effects. Tick Adjust for Best Performance to turn off animations and transparency.
