How to Speed Up your Computer in 5 Easy Way?

March 12, 2012

Slow processing speed of personal computer irritates a lot. Really, it seems to give a tight punch on the CPU, monitor but unfortunately we can’t do so. Many times you must have faces this situation or might be still facing. But as I don’t like to work on slow processing system I rendered a solution, which I found quite useful and would like to share with you.

To speed up your personal computer you need to do some small task, which is explained below:

1. Clean Temporary Files

• This is one of the window inbuilt application, which is used to store ‘Temporary files in respective folders’.
• Using this application you can see all the temporary files and folder which you need to delete time by time.
• You can check this application by typing ‘%temp%’ in the Run window. As soon as temporary folder appears just delete all the files and folders.
• But sometime it is not possible to delete some of the files because it may be open currently. So don’t worry if it doesn’t get deleted.

2. Disable Indexing
• One of windows properties is indexing files and folder, which help us to search the files and folders faster.
• But since window uses CPU and memory for indexing it takes lots of memory space and hence you system get slow.
• So, you can disable this properties which will just slow down searching speed which is not required in personal computer since one knows about his/her data location.
• To disable this property just right click on the respective drive (any drive) and got to properties, where you need to uncheck the option i.e. ‘Allow files on this drive to have content indexed in addition to file operation‘.

3. Disk Cleanup
• As you all have experience about shortage of memory in your MICRO SD Card, which slow down the mobile function performance.
• Same thing happen with computer’s primary and secondary memory. So, you must clean your disk to remove unwanted files and folders.
• Window system provides an utility called ‘Disk Clean UP’, which helps us to remove any error reports, temporary internet files etc.
• You can find this utility from Start >> All Program >> Accessories >> System tool>> Disk CleanUp or you can follow procedure from step two where you can directly click on ‘Disk CleanUp’ button.

4. Defragmentation of Hard disk
• Fragmentation is a process which makes hard disk to perform some Extra work, which slow down the system performance.
• Opposite to it is Defragmentation which arranges all data on hard disk partition in such way that it can be fetched speedy. So data reading will be faster.
• You can find this utility from Start >> All Program >> Accessories >> System tool>> Disk Defragmenter or you can follow procedure from step two where you can get ‘Disk Defragmenter’ under ‘Tool’ Tab.

5. Disable Unnecessary StartUp items
• When we start our system, systems starts many processes which we don’t require at starting our system and this also slow down our system performance at startup as well as while they are running in background.
• So, we must stop this unnecessary process that slow down our system performance, which will boost your system speed with almost 20%.
• You can disable this process from Start >> Run >> (type) ‘msconfig’ follow by enter. Now switch to ‘Start up’ tab and uncheck the unwanted process and then hit OK.
