How Do I Improve the Booting Speed of My PC?

If you have done installation of your operating system (Windows here) yourself, you might know that it loads faster when it is fresh and no any other application is installed. Right? So what happens after few days or months when you have installed many other applications? Why the computer starts loading slower than that was loading at the first boot time?

Because all applications you install after the successful installation of Windows operating system register themselves to load with the Windows load resulting in increased boot time. They are programmed to load with the Windows to enhance the user experience. For example an adobe reader agent get loaded in background to help you open any PDF files faster, but what when you are not going to open the PDF file for a day or week? Would you like that the background process keep consuming resources of your computer? Here is the solution.

Once you have installed all the applications after installation of Windows XP, Vista Or Windows 7, you can disable unwanted application from loading at boot time from the "System Configuration Utility".

How to open "System Configuration Utility"?

Go to start -> run -> and type "msconfig", -> enter (Click ok). -> select 'start up' tab and uncheck the applications that you do not want to load at the boot time.

You can also disable background services like 'print spooler' if not using printer with your PC. To disable service you can go to services control panel by typing 'services.msc' at start -> run.

If you have already done above settings and still you are facing slow boot speed issues, the doubt goes to the virus and spy ware infection in your computer. You must clean your PC using following ways for fastest boot time and fastest performance.

• Clean registry using any free registry cleaner tool.

• Clean Windows temp files and recycle bin.
