Step1

Taking out the Trash

Technical knowledge is not required at the outset. Rubbish gets into your computer as you surf the internet and through common usage. Remove junks to the trash. It is as easy as that.

Follow these easy steps to perform Disk Clean up.

Open My Computer

RIGHT CLICK on your C DRIVE ICON

SELECT PROPERTIES

Press the DISK CLEAN UP button

What is Disk Clean up?

Disk Clean up eradicates temp files, downloaded program files as well as optional components you are not using, and even empties your recycle bin. When it is finished you don't need to restart.

Now how simple was that?

Few things in life are as advertised and believe or it or not you have taken a huge step in repairing your computer.


Step 2
Removing pointless Programs

The frequent changes on the computer is a factor that affects the system to become slow. Uninstalling programs can undo these updating and free up system resources in the process which should give you a nice performance boost.

Follow these steps to remove unnecessary programs.

Click your Start button and find your Control Panel

It is essential to understand and apply the perfect operating system of your computer.



Step 3

Eliminate Start up Items

Programs working in the background takes up memory and steals system resources. This is by far the most common reason systems progressively slow down. When you fix an application for the first time in most cases they will set themselves to load at start up. There are 2 places you can look for these applications. The first place is your start up folder and the second place we will cover in Step 5.

Follow these steps to empty of your start up folder.

Appropriate operation has to be undertaken as per the guidelines.

Step 4

Defragmenting you hard drive the right way

Every time for install a program, create or delete a file data gets scattered on your hard drive. Windows needs continuous blocks of hard drive space to instigate as cache. Cache in Windows is called virtual memory. This is used while all your physical memory has been utilized. Every so often data needs to be consolidated so that Windows has enough continuous space to use as virtual memory. Before we run Disk Defrag follow the step under and run scan disk.

The scan corrects the systematic defect on your computer. It is essential to correct data errors before you run disk defrag. Make run all programs are close before you start.
Right click on your C drive icon in My Computer and select Tools.Click the Check Now button.

Disk Defrag is in the same window as Scan Disk. Again make sure to close all programs before starting.

Scan Disk and Disk Defrag should be run at least 5 or 6 times a year depending on usage.

Step 5

Eliminating Start up programs in your Windows Registry

What is the Windows Registry?

The program installed each time helps in running the installation. Unfortunately programs also employ the Registry to load at start up. The knowledge of start up folder are essential. The following shows you how.

Run Regedit

Click start and in the start search box Type Regedit

Open Hkey_Local_Machine

Look for the Software folder and open it

Next open the Microsoft folder and open the Windows folder

Inside the Windows Folder find and open Current version

Now just highlight the Run folder

Delete all extra start up items by right clicking on each icon and selecting Delete

You can look at the data column and see what program the setting belongs to.

Removing Start up Items from Hkey_Current_User

Set your path to : Hkey_Current_User\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Current Version\\Run

Remove any start up programs you feel are unnecessary

Reducing the Size of your Registry

The registry is a dumping ground for application settings.Uninstalling the program doesn't always overturn the changes it made to your registry. This causes your registry to escalate overtime. Every time your computer boots it needs to load your registry so the bigger your registry the slower your computer runs. This is precisely why computers progressively slow down. Re-installing Windows is the best way to solve this issue. Unfortunately this is way to time consuming and takes a little bit of know how to accomplish. There is an alternative way to reduce the size of your registry and keep it reduced. Spend a few bucks and download a registry cleaner. The operation helps you in keeping the windows operation safe. I use RegCure professionally and I strongly recommend it to anyone who owns a computer.
