Improving Windows Performance – Making Your PC Run Like New Again

We all remember when we first got our computers, how fast everything loaded and it didn’t take twenty minutes to start up! What I want to show you is how to return your computer back to this state, without having to delete everything and start again! Best of all this can be done with 100{1c36cc3864f5d30c3b98cf4341240a101309c4af757573c8c693520fc9029b5c} free tools, and will enable you to keep your computer running like new without the need for calling in a professional!

There is one program that every windows user should have on their computer, and that is CCleaner. This is a free program used to clean up temporary and all other unnecessary files from your computer, which if not removed will rapidly build up and slow down your computers performance! Even better it comes with a built in registry cleaner, which can be used to remove unused registry keys and make your computer run faster, as your computer will not have to search through useless information to find what it is looking for!

While one single action will not completely fix all your problems, a combination of methods, which will all result in a small improvement to your computers performance, will build up and leave it running like new.

Another thing that everyone should have installed on their computer is a good piece of anti-virus software, there are hundreds of them out them, ranging from free to hundreds of dollars per license for commercial products. It is remarkable how many computers I get into my shop every day that have either no anti-virus, or expired anti-virus products on them! Almost always these computers run significantly faster simply by installing a free virus scanner, and removing all the viruses running in the background, sucking memory away from your system.

The most important thing for all windows users to be aware of is the “MSCONFIG” built in control panel for windows. Using this control panel you can control what programs are allowed to start when you first turn on your computer, as well as what services. This can make a remarkable difference to your boot time, taking it from 5 minutes or longer, down to under a minute, just like it was when your PC was new!
