Some People Just Enjoy Devoting Ten Minutes to Watch Microsoft Windows Starting
I dont know what would be the reaction of people when they know that I love spending first ten minutes of my office hours watching Windows start up.
Nevertheless, if you belong to the working age group, then the below listed tips will certainly prove handy in speeding up the startup of Windows.
Firstly, reduce the load on your slow computer.
Generally, a PC loads several programs at the time of start.
Icons in the system tray of your PC represent an auto-start application.
And there are several other programs that auto-start every time your machine starts but hide their presence.
It is noteworthy that an autoloading program slows your PCs boot time, with the only difference that some affect it a little while others affect it heavily. Moreover, as most of these continue running in background, they deteriorate systems performance also.
Before starting the process of eliminating autoloaders, it is essential to ascertain that you can undo the changes. After creating the restore point, Click Close.
MS Windows Vista users need to select Start, then Control Panel and then System. Click System Protection under Tasks, which in on windows right side. Then you will see the System Properties dialog box on your screen, from which you have to select Create at the bottom of the window.
For MS Windows XP users, the process involves selecting Start, Run, typing msconfig, and pressing Enter. In case of Vista, select Start, key in msconfig into the Search box, and hit Enter key.
Then click the Startup tab, which will list all autoloading applications on your system, having a check box each. If you uncheck an item in a check box, it will stop that application from loading at startup.
Pick your Autoloading Apps. If you like a program to be autoloaded, click on the check option.
First and the most important thing is that you would never want your PC to run without the protetion of firewall, antivirus and other security programs.
Although these programs slowdown the speed of your computer and even cause conflicts, they could lead to high cost if blocked from running while using the system.
For other programs, you can use your judgment. To ask yourself whether the program is a good program or not would not be wise enough. Instead, you should think if the program needs to be on always.
Following unchecking of those programs that you dont want to autoload at the start up, click the OK option and reboot the system. In case of Windows, the loading will be done with a wordy message which appear like an error message.
You have to simply check Dont show this message or start the System Configuration Utility at the time Windows starts (in Vista you will find a little bit difference in wording) at the bottom of dialog box and then click OK.
