How to Make my Windows Fast As Never Before

Hello everyone,this is the best tip i have ever found to  Make your  Windows Fast as never before.By doing these tips you can boost your computer speed. Disable CD Autorun ( WinXP PRO Only) 1) Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC 2) Go to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System. 3) Locate the entry for Turn autoplay off and modify it as you desire. Speed Up Browsing When you connect to a web site your computer sends information back and forth. Some of this information deals with resolving the site name to  an IP address, the stuff that TCP/IP really deals with, not words. This is  DNS information and is used so that you will not need to ask for the site  location each and every time you visit the site. Although Windows XP and  Windows XP have a pretty efficient DNS cache, you can increase its  overall performance by increasing its size. You can do this with the registry entries below: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ Dnscache\Parameters] "CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001 "CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180 "MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000fa00 "MaxSOACacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000012d Make a new text file and rename it to dnscache.reg. Then copy and  paste the above into it and save it. Merge it into the registry. DISABLE INDEXING SERVICES Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts  of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are  on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for  something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the  index lists. If you don't search your computer often, or even if you  do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To  disable do the following:  1. Go to Start 2. Click Settings 3. Click Control Panel 4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs 5. Click the Add/Remove Window Components 6. Uncheck the Indexing services 7. Click Next OPTIMIZE DISPLAY SETTINGS Windows XP can look sexy but displaying all the visual items can  waste system resources. To optimize: 1.Go to Start 2. Click Settings 3. Click Control Panel 4. Click System 5. Click Advanced tab 6. In the Performance tab click Settings 7. Leave only the following ticked: - Show shadows under menus - Show shadows under mouse pointer - Show translucent selection rectangle - Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop - Use visual styles on windows and buttons                                                         SPEED UP FOLDER BROWSING  You may have noticed that everytime you open my computer to  browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows  XP automatically searches for network files and printers everytime  you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing   significantly:  1. Open My Computer 2. Click on Tools menu 3. Click on Folder Options 4. Click on the View tab. 5. Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and  printers check box 6. Click Apply 7. Click Ok 8. Reboot your computer                                                       REMOVE THE DESKTOP PICTURE  Your desktop background consumes a fair amount of memory and  can slow the loading time of your system. Removing it will improve  performance. 1. Right click on Desktop and select Properties 2. Select the Desktop tab 3. In the Background window select None 4. Click Ok DISABLE UNNECESSARY SERVICES Because Windows XP has to be all things to all people it has many  services running that take up system resources that you will never  need. Below is a list of services that can be disabled on most machines:  Alerter  Clipbook  Computer Browser  Distributed Link Tracking Client  Fast User Switching  Help and Support - (If you use Windows Help and Support leave this enabled)  Human Interface Access Devices  Indexing Service  IPSEC Services  Messenger  Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (disabled for extra security)  Portable Media Serial Number  Remote Desktop Help Session Manager (disabled for extra security)  Remote Procedure Call Locator  Remote Registry (disabled for extra security)  Remote Registry Service  Secondary Logon  Routing & Remote Access (disabled for extra security)  Server  SSDP Discovery Service - (Unplug n' Pray will disable this)  Telnet TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper  Upload Manager  Universal Plug and Play Device Host  Windows Time  Wireless Zero Configuration (Do not disable if you use a wireless network)  Workstation To disable these services:  Go to Start and then Run and type "services.msc"  Doubleclick on the service you want to change  Change the startup type to 'Disable" REMOVE ANNOYING DELETE  CONFIRMATION MESSAGES  Although not strictly a performance tweak I love this fix as it  makes my machine 'feel' faster. I hate the annoying 'are you sure?'  messages that XP displays, especially if I have to use a laptop  touchpad to close them. To remove these messages:  1. Right-click on the 'Recycle Bin' on the desktop and then click 'Properties'  2. Clear the 'Display Delete Confirmation Dialog' check box and click 'Ok'  If you do accidently delete a file don't worry as all is not lost. Just go  to your Recycle Bin and 'Restore' the file.
