In some Windows tips, you need to have a specialist software (like - a registry cleaner) to complete the process. While others can easily be done with the help of tools provided by Windows.
Before doing anything, it is important for you to ascertain that you reach the same place from where you have started the process (initial point). This is crucial to deal with the situation if anything goes wrong. For this, it is very essential to set a System Restore Point.
Its the time we should start with some easy tips
If you do not require all the fonts installed by various programs used by you, then better get rid of the useless ones.
A free font manager can assist you in performing this task.
Several programs start up with a computer system when it starts.
Some of these programs fall into the category that includes welcoming your antivirus software, firewall, etc.
The remaining programs come under the category of: our software developer assumes you may always require the programs present without starting them on your own.
Applications like iTunes, Skype, an instant messenger service, webcam software and Adobe Acrobat reader update service as well as a keylogger installed by you to check the naughty activities of your kids.
You may prefer that these applications will always remain available for use.
Some of the applications could be seen at the bottom of the screen near the clock. Other programs wil hide away and show only upon checking the Task Manager.
Msconfig program that comes with Windows can be used to check them and dump them. You will get to see the list of autoloading applications through Startup tab. In fact, the autoloading applications become active every time the computer boots up.
However, there is a big trouble with msconfig. It doesnt provide much detailed information. So, a great deal of research is required to know if the programs listed by it are the one really needed by your PC or are merely “nice to have” programs.
Next, there is the Windows Registry.
Applications use the Windows Registry as a dumping ground or storage area.
Everything seems to be stored inside the Windows Registry.
It is the place where the last opened files are stored. It saves your favorite programs startup position and size. As several fonts slow down the loading process of your computer, Windows Registry with so much of stuff (once useful but not now) also fulfills the same purpose keeping you from having a fast Windows 7.
Even though it is feasible to clean up Windows registry through built-in Regedit program (similar steps are to be followed as in case of Msconfig), you need great tolerance level. In case anything goes wrong, Windows working may get disrupted or it may even stop to work. Thus, it is far better to get this task done by software.
