Instant speed boost step 3:

Click on Start, then ‘Run’ and in the run line type in: msconfig

and click on OK.

Now click the startup tab. Scroll through the programs. Any there that you don’t think need to be booted at startup?

If so, uncheck the box and then click ‘apply’

Warning! Don’t uncheck any program you don’t know. Google the name of it first to see if it is or isn’t part of the system.

There are some oddly named ones in there that need to stay activated, like SkyTel.exe, or ‘bonjour’ if you have itunes installed.

Other more obvious ones, like Open Office can safely be unchecked. It only means that it will take a little longer to load the program when you want it, instead of Windows loading it automatically in startup (making the computer start up really slow).

But hey, you’re in charge right? You load programs when you want them loaded…
