The word Tweaking simply means to fine tune.You want to fine tune your computer so that it will boot up faster.Tweaking your computer so that it will run at peek performance will cause you to enjoy your computer like you never imaged.

There are procedures you can perform that will speed up the operating system boot-up.When tweaking your startup process,take care not to allow your computer to boot up too fast.Too fast booting will cause your PC to miss valuable data and not check all peripherals it needs
to allow the computer to run at its best.

Speeding up your booting process will both reduce the waiting time you can use the computer.Here are some procedures you can perform that will help speed up your PC startup.

Be sure to backup your hard drive in case you should make an error.Take your time and perform these tasks at your own risk.Take notes of everything you do.Backup your BIOS with such utilities
as Cmos14.zip.This file is just 5,569kbs zipped and You can download a copy Right Here.

 

 

FIRST....Scandisk and Defragment your hard drive if you are not performing these two maintenance steps regularly.Over time,your files become scattered all over your hard drive.This causes the computer to
hunt for every piece of file fragments throughout the
drive.

SECOND.....Clean Up Your Registry.The installing and uninstalling of applications cause your registry to have many files it does not use.Your system slows down at startup because these files are loaded into memory every time the PC is started.Registry Healer which is
a trial ultility will scan your registry for problems.


And Registry Tuner allow you to view and remove unwanted
software in your registry.Windows Reg Edit is a small ultility within Windows that will perform the same function. You may want to give Registry First Aid a try as well.


THIRD.......Edit Your SysEdit Configuration.Click on Start,Run,and then type "sysedit" in the open block. You will be presented with your system files.Check then and remove any files you know are not needed.You can type "REM" at the start of a line to disable it to see
if your computer has need for it.

Take notes of any changes you make so that you can undo what you did should any problems arise.The ultility Bootvis is a good Windows XP ultilty that helps your boot process,We used it on our Windows Home XP computer and we noticed a difference.Click Here to learn more about it and download your copy.

FOURTH....Remove unwanted programs that may be starting up in your Startup Folder.This folder as well as your Sysedit file may have programs slowing the PC down.Click on Start,Settings,Taskbar and Start Menu Tab,Start Menu Programs,Remove,and go down to the
Startup Folder.There you can expand and remove any unwanted programs.

 



FIFTH.....Go to Start,Run,type "msconfig" in the open box and press enter.Click on Startup and here you can remove programs here as well.The thing to remember is to take notes of any program you remove just in case you find that program useful after all.Be sure to take the time and backup your system files so that you can
restore these files should something go wrong.Take notes of files you remove from Sysedit or msconfig.

SIXTH....Enable your Quick Boot option in your BIOS.Access your Bios and locate this feature that bypasses some of the checks your computer makes at POST.The downside to enabling this feature is that it increases the chances of a hardware failure going
undetected.You may want to use this feature from time to time and
see if the difference in bootup speed is worth it.

We hate it when our computer creep alone when we turn on the power button,when we play our favorite Hi-Resolution star wars game,or when we decided to go on the internet,that is,if it doesn't take a couple
minutes to logon.Upgrading and tweaking your PC to run faster can be performed quick and easy,if we put to use the neat utilities Windows as well as many third party software has to offer.
