I am unaware of your perspective, but I surely enjoy spending the initial ten minutes of each workday gazing Windows start up.
But if you wish to overcome this hassle, the tips given below will help you to start Windows much faster and quickly.
Reduce the load from your slow Windows 7.
Generally, a PC loads several programs at the time of start.
Icons in the system tray of your PC represent an auto-start application.
And there are several other programs that auto-start every time your machine starts but hide their presence.
It is noteworthy that an autoloading program slows your PCs boot time, with the only difference that some affect it a little while others affect it heavily. And since majority of them continue running in background, they reduce the systems performance.
However, ensure that you can always revert your changes before stepping into the process of eliminating autoloaders. After creating the restore point, Click Close.
If you have MS Vista, then click on Start, Control Panel and System. Click System Protection on the right hand side of the window, under Tasks. Then you will see the System Properties dialog box on your screen, from which you have to select Create at the bottom of the window.
For XP users, the process involves selecting Start, Run, typing msconfig, and pressing Enter. Vista users should select Start, write msconfig in the Search box and then press [Enter].
Then click the Startup tab, which will list all autoloading applications on your system, having a check box each. Uncheck an item. After doing so, that particular item will no longer load at setup.
Pick your Autoloading Apps. Select the applications you need to leave checked so that they continue to autoload.
First and the most important thing is that you would never want your PC to run without the protetion of firewall, antivirus and other security programs.
Its true that these applications slow the boot-up and shutdown times of your PC and can even lead to conflicts, but to stop them from running could result in even more dire consequences.
Similarly, for other applications, your own judgment will be crucial. The question is not regarding a program being good or bad, its about if it is required to be on all time.
Click OK and reboot after you are over with the decision to ‘Uncheck’ the programs you dont require to autoload. In case of Windows, the loading will be done with a wordy message which appear like an error message.
You have to simply check Dont show this message or start the System Configuration Utility at the time Windows starts (in Vista you will find a little bit difference in wording) at the bottom of dialog box and then click OK.
