Yes, you can make the Windows start up quicker. When you turn on your system, Windows loads a number of programs and services that you dont need right after turning on your computer. For example, for those machines who have Adobe Reader (these days I would assume 80% computers have it), it service is started with windows start up, similarly your meesengers such as google talk, msn messenger or yahoo messenger, real player, Microsoft Office Services etc, these type of services are started with windows start up and can make your machine seem very slow. The obvious solution is to stop them from starting at Windows start up because whenever you run an application that needs one of these services, the related services get started automatically.
So the question is,
HOW DO YOU TURN THESE SERVICES OFF??
|Here is the solution|:
1. Go to Start >> Run (alternatively press and hold windows key and press r (i.e. windows key + r)
2. type - msconfig - (without hyphens) and press enter
3. click the startup tab
4. uncheck sevices that you don't want to be turned on the start up
5. click Apply followed by OK
6. does'nt matter you restart your machine right away but a restart is recommended.
- experience the change -
Be carefull when you select the services that you don't want being running at the start up because certain services like your antivirus or anti spyware application should essentially be running right from the start up until your machine is turned on. Do feedback if it works for you.
