Speedup Your Computer

whenever you start your computer, you are faced with dew moments of thumb twiddling while windows xp boots and prompts you  to log on into your account.
Although you should expect to wait for few moments, sometimes windows XP seems to boot rather slowly. In fact, you may notice that over a period of time the PC that used to roar to life seems a bit sluggish instead. Fortunately, you can perform several techniques that help windows get the bootup speed you want.

How to put these techniques to work.....??


1.
Stopping unneeded startup services
          Along with the core operating system and programs that windows runs when it starts, there is also a     host of services involved. Many of these services are necessarry for windows to operate correctly. However, many of them are the feature in Windows that you may not use at all.You can peruse the services and disable any services that you do not want to run.
To reduce the number of services that start on bootup, you can access two different areas of windows.
1.1. Systerm Configuration utility:
             select start/ run , type msconfig


       and click ok
  next step is to click on "startup"
now when you click on starup it shows all the startup services that windows runs when it starts.
you can stop a services from starting by simply clearing the check box.
ex.
after that click on apply /ok 
now Restart the system.


1.2 services console
               open contol pannel/administrative tools services or else select Start/Run
               type services .msc and click  ok. 
(i prefer to use the services console insted of system configuration utility beacuse ot describes what the services does.)

1. Automatic updates
