How to make Vista load FASTER !

This is too cool - I discovered this by accident and it made a world of a difference !

Ok - now to contain myself.  Lets start at the begining - One of the most frequent complaints I often hear  is about the fact that it takes Vista so long to load up.

I have now discovered a method (not a solution) that helps speed up Vistas boot time.

1 - Click on Vista Icon (where start used to be)

vista1

2 - type: msconfig and hit enter

vista2

3 -click on the Tab that says Startup

vista3

4 - un-tick  all applications that you don’t need to have started automatically (if you are not sure what the app does, Google it and make a decision)

5 - Click on OK

Next time you start up Vista you should notice an improvement  - Easy, quick and effective !

To make vista faster and work BETTER, uninstall.
*wink*
Same way to improve XP though, whenever i get asked to help someone with their pc, first thing i do is look for stuff to remove from auto start, always does wonders!!

Yep, also good for removing rookie spyware/adware from a bogged down PC.

(when you are having trouble deleteing the spyware files, doing this will prevent it from starting allowing you to delete the files without the “Currently in use” message.

This should be SUPER helpful for our new computer. Thanks!

Thanks!
