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 the recycle 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 Software's (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 Software's 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 gradually heating your CPU and
affecting the processing speed. Use compressed
air to blow out any dust from the CPU.
Never use vacuum.
