use MSCONFIG to boost speed for XP Vista Windows 7


"MSCONFIG." was designed to help you troubleshoot problems with your computer, it enables you to turn off some of these hidden programs meaning you can significantly increase your computer's performance and reliability

warning
make sure you follow the steps below, doing anything else as it could break your OS.. I repeat do not change any of the other tabs in MSCONFIG unless you know what you are doing.

Doing the following is safe.

  1. Click on start
  2. Type MSCONFIG in the search box
  3. now Microsoft's System Configuration Utility will load,
  4. Click on the Startup tab
  5. This will now take you to a page startup items.  Startup items are items which load when you start you computer, for example MSN is a startup item which will load in to memory as soon as your pc starts (however if you do not use it then you can unselect it, this is the same with many of the startup items such as google and Quicktime player there not needed)
  6. deselect your startup items you dont want running and click apply
  7. you can click ok and the restart your computer
  8. if you want to turn the startup items back on just follow these steps again.


    As soon as your computer loads you should notice that MSN or Skype assuming that you unselected them for example no longer load, this means you are saving your computers ram and cpu time.

    last note
    for example if you do use msn and you remove it from the start up list then you can still manually start it by going to the start menu and clicking on MSN the old fasioned way.
