PC Speedup By Software Removal

Talk about one of life's most annoying experiences,well
almost.A computer with the "Blahs" makes anyone's
computing frustrating to say the least.

You'll certainly want to learn and do all you can to both
rid your computer of all that's causing it to perform less
than it should.

Removing certain software applications that start at
bootup and continue to run during operation increases
your system performance.

Before you perform software removal on your system,
its always best to backup your hard drive or at least all
files you consider critical.

To quickly relieve your computer of a very slow bootup
process is to remove all those programs that run
during startup that you most likely never use in the
first place.

One way to slim down the programs that run during
startup is by using such third party utilities such as
Winpatrol at http://www.winpatrol.com. This utilty will
show which program is running in Windows amd in
Enternet Explorer.

Another way tois to go online and visit PC PitStop
which have some awesome scan,registry,and other
utilties.Some of these utilities are trial versions of
third party software

great help when it comes to improving performance.

and select Manage.When the management console
opens,in the left pane double click Services And
Applications.You can also click the plus sign next to
it.This will expand the item and show the services.

The services listed as started are the ones that runs
at startup.Automatic means that the services runs each
time the system boots up.Manual means that the service
may be started should Windows need that service.

the services running on your system.Disabling a service
that windows need could cause problems however.

playing games should boot the system's speed.

You can use download batch files that will turn these
services off and on all at once.Such services as Windows

off and on when desired.

off while Startservices will turn them back on again.Its
that simple for you to give it a try to see if your computer's
performance is noticable.

You can download Stop and Startservices.cmd at the
PC World site at www.pcworld.com and give each file
a try.Note that rebooting your computer will also return
the services back to their normal state.

You can customize each file by right-clicking the file and
selecing the Edit menu command. To run the files, move
them into your C:\Windows\System32 folder, then click
Start, Run, and type either stopservices or startservices,
depending on what you want to do.
