Top Ten Tips To Improve System Speed

1. Let your PC boot up completely before opening any applications.

2. Refresh the desktop after closing any application. This will remove
any unused files from the RAM.

3. Do not set very large file size images as your wallpaper. Do not
keep a wallpaper at all if your PC is low on RAM (less than 64 MB).

4. Do not clutter your Desktop with a lot of shortcuts. Each shortcut
on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM.

5. Empty the recycle bin regularly. The files are not really deleted
from your hard drive until you empty therecycle bin.

6. Delete the temporary internet files regularly.

7. Defragment your hard drive once every two months. This will free up
a lot of space on your hard drive and rearrange the files so that your
applications run faster.

8. Always make two partitions in your hard drive. Install all large
Softwares (like PSP, Photoshop, 3DS Max etc) in the second partition.
Windows uses all the available empty space in C drive as virtual
memory when your Computer RAM is full. Keep the C Drive as empty as
possible.

9. When installing new Softwares disable the option of having a tray
icon. The tray icons use up available RAM, and also slow down the
booting of your PC. Also disable the option of starting the
application automatically when the PC boots. You can disable these
options later on also from the Tools or preferences menu in your
application.

10. Protect your PC from dust. Dust causes the CPU cooling fan to jam
and slow down thereby graduallyheating your CPU and affecting the
processing speed. Use compressed air to blow out any dust from the
CPU. Never use vacuum.
RAM IS THE WORKING AREA (DESKTOP) OF THE CPU, KEEP IT AS EMPTY AND
UNCLUTTERED AS POSSIBLE!

Top 10 Tips To Speed Up Windows 7

Top 10 Tips To Speed Up Windows 7

The Microsoft Windows 7 operating system has been designed for delivering better speeds than its predecessors. However, as time passes by, the laptop/PC might tend to get slower. This is not exactly the fault of the OS. As the matter of fact, it is a common problem faced by many operating systems.

desktop

The major reasons for this are accumulation of junk in the system or a highly stuffed hard drive or running of too many unnecessary services and programs. Here we shared a few essential tips that can help speed upWindows 7 performance on laptops or computers. Hope it helps!

Visual and Sound Related

1. Using minimal Visual Effects

Disabling certain (or all) visual effects can definitely enhance performance. To disable visual effects, do the following:

Press Windows key and while holding it down, press Pause/Break key.
In the window that appears, click on Advanced system settings in the left side pane.
In the Advanced tab, under Performance Section, click on Settings
In the Performance Options window (refer figure) that appears, under Visual Effects tab, disable the options that you do not need. Or simply selecting 'Adjust for best performance' will disable all options.
After disabling the option, click Apply and then OK.
Doing the above might make the screen less attractive. But, the performance will surely get a boost.

2. Using minimal Sound Effects

For disabling sound effects, do the following:

Click Start. In the search box type mmsys.cpl and press Enter
In the Sound window (refer figure) that appears click on Sounds tab
Set the Sounds scheme to 'No Sounds'
You could set only the essential sounds if needed in the Program Events, by selecting the specific event and then choosing the sound from the Sounds drop-down menu below.
You can as well disable the "Play Windows Startup sound" option.
After the settings are done, click Apply and OK.

Software & Services related


1. Run a trusted Anti-Virus program

Ensure that you have a good anti-virus software loaded on your laptop/computer. This will ensure that no malware or spyware gets planted in your system. Without such protection software, there are chances of third party malware and virus being installed or stored on your system, causing harmful effects and also eating up precious space.

2. Install only essential software

Ensure that you install only that software which you need. If you install any trial software and find out that you don't really need it, uninstall and delete it immediately. Else, they might hog precious disk space, RAM and processor cycles. If you've installed a software, which you are unable to get rid of, and which is hampering the normal functioning of your laptop, then you might have to format your hard drive. Be aware that formatting your hard drive might wipe out all your data. Therefore it is best you take a back-up before going ahead with formatting.

3. Disable or make unneeded services Manual

Some processes and services, which might not really be necessary, are by default made to start automatically once the system starts up. They will consume RAM as well as the processor's attention, slowing down other important tasks. It is best to disable them. For this, do the following:

Click Start. In the search box type services.msc and press Enter
Go to Services & Applications > Services. You'll see the Services window (refer figure).
Right-click on a service that you wish to set to manual or disable. If the service is already started, Stop it first.
Once the service is stopped, again right-click on it and select Properties.
In the Startup type, you can either set the service to Manual, if you would be using it later, or Disable it, if not needed.
Once done, you can close the window.

services


4. Disabling Unwanted Start-up programs to speed up System Start-up

Some programs are set to start during system start-up. These might slow down the start-up process. Programs that are not really needed during start-up can be disabled. For this, do the following:

Click Start. In the search box type msconfig and press Enter.
In the System Configuration window (refer figure), go to Startup.
Uncheck the box next to those processes that are not important for start-up. This will disable them.
Once you've disabled the processes, click Apply and OK.

Hard Drive related

1. Clean up the hard drive

Remove unwanted files, like temp files, downloaded program files, recycle bin, etc. You could use Disk Cleanup option to do this, as follows:

1.Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
2.The system will first calculate how much space can be freed up this way. In the Disk Cleanup window (refer figure) that appears, select the files in that need to be deleted under the Files to delete list.
3.For deleting 'System Restore' and 'Shadow copy' files, click "Clean up system files" and then on "More Options" tab
4.Finally click OK. You'll be prompted again before the deletion. Click Yes.

2. Enable Write caching on device

This is an option which allows the OS to flush changed data to the hard disk when the system is idle, so that performance is not affected when in use. For enabling this, do the following:

1.Press Windows key and while holding it down, press Pause/Break key.
2.In the window that appears, click on Device Manager in the left hand pane.
3.In the next window that appears, expand Disk drives.
4.The drop-down list will show the hard drive. Right-click on it and select Properties.
5.Click the Policies tab in the Device Properties window (refer figure).
6.Check the box next to "Enable write caching on the device"
7.You can as well check the box next to "Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device" and then click OK.

Note: However, there is one disadvantage in enabling these options – if there is a power outage or a system crash, data might be lost or corrupted. If you have a secondary power supply, like a UPS, you could go ahead with checking these options.

3. Perform Disk Defragmentation

When there is no sufficient space to store in a hard drive, the OS splits the file into parts and stores it in different areas on the hard drive. Defragmenting allows all these parts to be stored in contiguous memory locations. For defragmenting disk do the following:

1.Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter
2.In the window (refer figure) that appears, click on the drive that you want to defragment and then click Analyze disk.
3.This will estimate the time required for the process. When done click on Defragment disk.
4.Once done you can either View Report or click Close.

These pretty much sum up the small things that you can do, to make a big difference to your Windows 7′s performance. If you have some personal tips you've done yourself to improve the performances, we'd like to hear from you.

How to enable RUN

How to enable RUN ? if any viruses diabled your RUN, here's the method
to enable/disable RUN?

If you are a computer user,then you might habe also heard about
virus!there are few virus which do havoc on prey computer and changes
its behaviour drastically!I also use computer and had got some strange
response from computer

for example when tried to hit "win+R" it shown a message stating that
"Run has been disabled by administrator". So i made a simple trick to
solve this Problem.

Most of the viruses are now disabling the RUN command in Windows

This is achieving through the registry open the regedit.exe in your
WINDOWS folder, then navigate to the following,

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

\Explorer]

"NoRun"=dword:1

Then change the DWORD value as 0 to enable , 1 to disable.

You can also do it through REG file( ie , file with extension .reg )
its code will be as like below.

Copy the below registry script and save it as a .reg file ( eg : dxm.reg )

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

\Explorer]

"NoRun"=dword:0

; 0 to enable

If you have any problem with the above methods the follow the below it
will definitely work.

Save the below script as a bat file (eg: dxm.bat) and execute it ……Enjoy !!!!!!

ECHO REGEDIT4 > Enable-Run.REG

echo. >> Enable-Run.reg

echo [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

\Explorer] >> Enable-Run.reg

echo "NoRun"=dword:0 >> Enable-Run.reg

start /w regedit /s Enable-Run.reg

After running this file , a registry file is created with name "

Enable-Run

", now just run this file and restart your computer , Now ur problem
is solved!!!
