The Windows operating system is the most used operating system in personal computing. It has many advantages over other operating systems such as its ease of use, but it also has one disadvantage, and that is sometimes it can be slow to boot up. It doesn't make any difference what version of Windows you have on your PC, if you use even just a couple of the following tips, you will make Windows boot faster.
One program to native to the Windows OS which will be turned on from the factory is called Windows Automatic Indexing. This program keeps track of what types of files you have on your computer and where they are located. It is designed to help you find files much quicker than just browsing through your folders. The downside is that it can seriously slow down your computer when you go to boot it up. Try turning Automatic Indexing off to get a needed boost in starting up your machine.
Another resource hog on to start up is your Fonts folder. Each font you have sitting in this folder must be loaded when your computer starts. If you have a bunch of fonts in your computer, it will naturally be slower. You really do not need to many fonts unless you happen to be a designer. Try to decide which fonts you can live without and get rid of them.
Over time when you use your computer, you will be installing and uninstalling programs, sometimes on a frequent basis. Each time you add a program to your hard drive then uninstall later, you will be mixing the data on your drive. To combat this problem, defragging your hard drive is a must. This will bring all related data together so your computer runs faster, even upon booting.
Whether you know it or not, your computer has a lot of junk files which take up space. Not only in the data section of your hard drive, but also in the boot sector. Once you uninstall a program there may be remnants of files left in the registry. These files will be loaded, even though they are not really being used. Therefore it is important to run the Disk Cleanup program found in System Tools. It will help remove unwanted files in the registry and in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
Finally, if you want your computer to run faster in every way, you should install more RAM. You will get more bang for your buck in the way of performance by taking this one simple step. You can make Windows boot faster by using these tips and tweaks.
