Speed Up Your PC using MSConfig technique...partONE
If you ever realized that your PC now is becoming sluggish....very slow during startup or too much running program in background, it;s because of too many application has been forced to start during windows is boot up. Those program is truly unnecessary unless you really need it.This time I'll show you the hidden secret of Windows..yeah the real one...MSConfig.
With the utility MSConfig it is possible to analyze all the applications starting when you turn on your computer and, if you feel the need to do so, disable undesirable items. Turning off undesirable items will save system resources which will eventually result in a faster Windows. You can start the MSConfig utility by click Start, go to Run and type the command MSCONFIG and press ENTER. If you have just done a fresh Windows setup, there won't be much shocking to disable. When you have installed all your favorite software, it is time to have a look at MSConfig, whether performance enhancements are possible.
On the right side is the picture of MSConfig Utility. This time, I need you to put your focus on Startup section first.The most important tab, is the last one: Startup. Here you can disable (and enable again....) startup items. If you are not sure, you better leave the item untouched, but you are free to experiment (you can always turn them on again).
If you have been infected by a virus, most times you can find the virus
here. To disable a virus you better run MSCONFIG in Windows safe mode (press F8 while restarting Windows), else the still active virus will reactivate your
action.
Above is shown how the automatic startup of the Windows Messenger has been disabled. The Command column shows the location of the application (which can give you information about what's the application for). The Location column tells you where you can find the place to delete the item permanently, most of the times it will be in the Windows Registry. It is important to realize what every item does, and to ask yourself the question whether you need that item. Many applications you will install place a link here (most of the times unasked), to make them fast accessible in the system tray.
