Hi friends !
These are a few handy tips that will make your pc faster ! 1) Disable all the programs that u don't need after the start up !
these programs slow down your pc !
Steps : Start > Run > msconfig > Start UP/Services > Disable which u don't need at the start up ! like yahoo or msn messenger or and other automatic software which slows down your PC start up !
You can also disable windows error reporting services if you get them an error on the start up .... like send error report or not !
NOTE : DO NOT DISABLE IMPORTANT SERVICES.
2)Disk Cleaner, Disk Defragmenter (both built in XP) at least
once a month helps keep system clean and error free.
3) Proper use of Antivirus (avoid with too many useless
services) and Anti-Spyware helps big time

4) Disable prefetch:

5) Remove prefetch:
Go to âC:\WINDOWS\Prefetchâ and remove all the prefetch objects from the folder, Only remove the prefetch for the program you donât use or donât have them any more.

Devices like Modem (if using broadband), extra network adapters, Multimedia (like game port or my MIDI device), PCMIA etc can easily and safely be disable from Device Manager depending on the need.
