Designs, develops, manages and supports more than just your IT

Often times they run in the background virtually undetectable. Obviously if your machine has to start 10-15 huge files at the same time, problems will arise.

So how can you determine which programs automatically startup?

It's simple--all you do is go to "start"... "run"... and then type in "msconfig". This will show you which ones are set to start up automatically.

These are the PROBLEM files

I'm willing to bet a lot of money these are the ones making your computer boot slow. Just getting rid of any and every file you aren't using is highly effective for improving computer speed.

#2) Fix the Registry

If the 1st solution doesn't work, the registry is the next likely culprit. Chances are, you've probably heard about the Registry... but have no idea what it is.

It's basically what gives your operating system instructions on what to do with each file in the system. Without this your operating system will not work.

When you add and delete a lot of files over the course of time, the Registry can have so much information to sort through that it will take forever to find the one you want. Even starting up can become a monumental task.

Before buying anything, I'd strongly recommend doing a FREE scan with a respected registry cleaner and seeing if this could potentially be the problem. Only then should you invest in a "cleaner".

The keyword is RESPECTED

Often times the lesser-known sites will actually hide Spyware in the Registry software, which will just further add to your problems.

Remember...

If you find yourself often complaining that "my computer boots slow", following these steps for improving computer speed and you should see a big improvement.
