Make your Windows start up quicker..!!!

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.

MS Windows Vista elevated mode..a pain..!!!

Since I installed Vista on my computer, less than in a week time, I had to go back to ever loved and ever worked XP. Reason being..guess..... yes.. you guessed right..! every time you try to perform some action on YOUR pc even being administrator it tells you to login in a previlleged and elevated mode, and I had to spend the whole week searching for the solution to this problem, but I guess my searching was not good enough and I end up going back to Windows Xp. Well, to all the people facing the same trouble here is the solution that will make your life a lot easier if you're a Vista victim.
Follow these simple steps:

1. go to Start >> All Programs >> Accessories
2. Right-click command prompt and click Run As Administrator
3. on the black console that appear in the result of step 2, type the following:
net user administrator /active: yes
4. "This command executed successfully" should appear as the response
5. log off and log on as the administrator

it worked like a charm to me and a bunch of people, you try..if it doesn't work you are such a dump that you can not even execute these simple steps, there are no errors in this command. Good luck.
