\nOne of the biggest nuisances is windows startup time. When you install some new programs, they themselves change the registry and when windows load after you switch it on, they too get loaded. You can notice that when you switch on your windows after every re-start. These programs are unnecessary to be loaded at start-up. And they increase the start-up time of windows. Click the Start button, go to Run, Type msconfig, go to startup and disable all the unnecessary programs. Restart and you would notice a marked rise in the windows startup time. <\/p>\n
\nWindows take a lot of time when you use the resource hungry XP menu, Right click the start button and go to properties. In properties, go to start menu and switch to the classic menu. You can see a faster response time. <\/p>\n
\nWhen you want to remove any unwanted programs, you would click the Add\/Remove icon in the control panel. You need to wait for a lengthy period of time as it is the most annoying feature of XP. Get a tool like cleaner, it is free and you can easily remove the unwanted programs. <\/p>\n
\nWhen you uninstall a program, not every file associated with it gets uninstalled. One of the best known culprits is the registry entry. Your registry gets bloated in course of time. A trim registry would give you a healthy XP. Try Uniblue registry cleaner, it is worth buying as it creases the reliability of your PC. <\/p>\n
\nSometimes, you would want to terminate a program and you would have pressed the Ctrl-Alt-Del buttons simultaneously. You would click Task Manager and in it, you will click processes and end the unwanted program. But the response time would be slow. A registry tweak is vital. Go to Run, type Regedit.exe and go to this location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\ and change this time to kill value to 1000. <\/p>\n
\nGo to control panel, click system icon and go to the advanced option. In performance option, change the visual effects to best performance. You will notice a marked level in the performance of the system. <\/p>\n
\nWindows XP by default searches for network folders and printers when you click My Computer. No wonder it loads slowly. Go to Tools, click Folder Options and in view uncheck \u2018Automatically search for network folders and printers\u201d <\/p>\n
\nGo to Run. Type prefetch, a window would open. Select everything in the window and delete it. Windows has this nasty habit of saving all the programs opened and it uses the prefetch option to load it again faster. But it slows down the system. Use it frequently to improve your system performance. <\/p>\n
\nDefragment your system at regular intervals. Use IObit smart defragmenter, it is a freeware and improves your system performance. <\/p>\n
\nGet a better browser like Firefox or Opera. As the fate of a browser and operating system are coupled. A weak browser like IE would definitely hurt your XP. Moreover, more hackers target IE. Be on the safer side, by opting for a browser other than IE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
