Tip of the Day #3: Quick PC Startup

I know that I get really tired of a slow computer and if it is slow, I want to take it and throw it out of the nearest window. I expect my computers to be fast and at my disposal. It just becomes a need and a demand at times. Like when you want to get on the Internet really fast because your in a hurry but can't, then you wish it was faster.

Well, this is a quick and easy tip for a quick bootup and faster running PC. Are you tired of your computer taking so long to startup? Everyone wants to have a PC that starts up faster and runs better. This quick tip will help you get that done. In the taskbar in the right corner of your screen shows the process that start up when you load your computer. A lot of people have many things running so this slows down your computer. To help with this do the following:

  1. Click “Start”
  2. Click “Run”
  3. Type in “msconfig”
  4. Click the “Startup” tab
  5. Deselect all the programs that you don’t want to automatically start up when you turn on you computer.
  6. Click “Apply”
  7. Click “Ok”
  8. A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to “Restart” or “Exit without Restart”.
  9. Click “Restart”
  10. When you reboot your computer a dialog box (System Configuration Utility) will appear. Click the checkbox (the checkbox says that the dialog box will not appear upon restart anymore).
  11. Click “Ok”

Now your computer should be faster now that you have stopped some of the programs from automatically starting up when you start your computer.
