Slow Start Up There can be a variety of reasons
to Windows loading slow during start up. Go to Run, type msconfig and
hit enter. Under the 'Start Up' tab, uncheck the unwanted programs and
press OK. Things should be a bit fine the next time Windows boots.
Another program worth mentioning here is
StartUp Delayer
which will help in setting after how much time programs should be
loaded after Windows boots. For instance, you could set your instant
messenger program to load 50 seconds after Windows starts up.
Slow Loading Start Menu
If the Start Menu items are loading slowly, you can open the Registry
Editor by typing in the Run menu 'regedit.exe' and pressing Enter. Go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop. Look for MenuShowDelay, and
double click to edit the value. The lower the number specified, the
faster the Start Menu will load.
Slow Right Click Context Menu
Probably the Windows Right Click menu on your computer is loading slow
because too many programs added unwanted entries there. Just
download this program called Mmm, install it and then modify your context menu to remove unwanted items to speed it up.
Slow Send To Menu
If the Send To menu loads slowly, you can type 'sendto' in the Run
Dialog, and remove unwanted items in the Explorer Window that appears.
This should add some speed to it.
Slow Defragmentation The Windows Defragmenter can't get any slower. You need to have an alternative to the Windows Defragmenter, and
Defraggler
is just one of the best ones available in the market. It's free, and
works like a charm and can speed up defragmentation manifold. For some
alternatives, see
Five Free Programs to Defragment your PC.
