Decide When you Want Things to Start upDo you feel as if you had time to learn a language while waiting for your PC to start up?If you have many programs loading at the same time every time you run Windows, the loading of your operating system will be dramatically delayed. Two solutions are available for this problem: either erasing the programs from the starting up menu of your OS or using Startup Delayer.Many people have (many times) suggested me going to Run, typing msconfig and go to the Start Up tab. If this is not checked from time to time, you will find out that the list is "all of the sudden" filled up with unwanted programs that load when turning on your PC, thus importantly slowing down the booting. Once you uncheck the unneeded programs, and re-boot your system, things will work out a little better.However, sometimes this does not make a huge difference and you may like to use a software that help you identify a temporal delay in the starting up of some programs, so as to avoid the collapse Windows suffers when trying to run all the programs at the same time: with Startup Delayer you can, for instance, setup your mail program to start up ten seconds after Windows has loaded, and your dictionaries twenty seconds after that…and so on. I truly consider this a very creative and ordered way to ease up the starting up and loading of the OS.
How Does your Right Click Function Work? Mmm…Does your context-menu usually appear to be crowded with items from the programs you have installed? It is no news that this kind of extra items are usually used as a way to advertise the product or company name and they are amazingly difficult to get rid off.These extra items, most of the times functions you never use, usually slow down the Windows Right Click menu on your computer. To revert this, Mmm lets you get rid of the items you never use and gives you the possibility of moving those items you rarely use out on a submenu. At the same time, it keeps only the functions you often use in a tidy and small base menu. Just run it and…voilá!
When Defragmentation is not Only a Long WordEager to improve performance in your PC, you happily run the Windows Defragmenter in the hope that everything will recover its usual speed and you will be able to work faster… and it turns to be that the defragmenter takes much, much, much more than expected to do its thing!!Instead of losing your cool, you can choose among a number of alternatives to Windows Defragmenter. One of them is Defraggler, which has the desirable feature of being free and really works in speeding up defragmentation. Other defragmenters you can download for free are: Auslogics, Wincontig and PageDefrag. It's just a matter of choice!
When Adding or Removing Programs Take Toooo LongOne of the applets in Windows that usually takes ages to be run, specially when you have an important number of programs installed on your computer (my hand is up!), is the Add or Remove Programs function.A very useful program I found to save a lot of time in doing this kind of things is CCleaner, which allows you cleaning your registry while making a back-up of it and solving many problems all throughout the process. I suggest running this periodically so as to get rid of junk and unnecessary registry entries.Another option, or rather a complementary one, is MyUninstaller. This practical software plays the list of all installed application, and allows you to uninstall an application, by simply running the uninstall module provided by the software that you want to uninstall. You can also delete an uninstall entry, and save the list of all installed applications into a text file or HTML file.
In sum …One of the best ways to avoid losing your nerves and to keep your Windows PC running at a good speed is trying to keep it tidy and clean, by making systematic cleanses of the registry and of unnecessary programs.
