Make your computer run faster for better performance. Must see this.....

How to make your Windows XP faster. A short tutorial to be implemented for fastest performance.

Type these commands in Start => Run and press ok. Do this one by one and in the order as given. Do not do anything else then specified. The user himself will be responsible for anything else he tries. If you have problems in anything that is explained, do not execute them. Ask me, I will help you.

1. prefetch
You will see a list of items. Select them all (ctrl+A) and delete them permanently(shift+delete). I promise it wont do any harm.

2. %temp%
It contains all the temporary files. Select them all and delete them permanently.

3. regedit
Go to Hkey_current_user => Control Panel => Desktop
On clicking on desktop a lot of icons would appear on Right pane window. Change the values of these list items to as given below. Do not further lower it further as it might cause instability.
HungAppTimeout 700
MenuShowDelay 10
WaitToKillAppTimeout 3000

4. msconfig
Click on Startup and a window will open. Click on Disable All. Click on Apply and close. Restart on being prompted. This is to make your computer boot faster. On restarting it will open a Startup utility configuration dialog. Click on Do not show again and press OK.

5. gpedit.msc
Click on User configuration => Administrative templates => Desktop => Browser Settings.
From here select the list item for internet buffer and disable 20% buffer reserved for internet. As this option is currently not available in my pc so i recommend that on reaching browser settings you should ask me first via comments how to proceed. Quote the options you are getting and i will guide you. On being prompted for restart, click no.

6. gpupdate
Just run this command and your GP settings will be updated. Now click Start => turn off =>Restart.

7. disk defragment
Go to Start => Program files => Accessories => System Tools => Disk Defragmenter.
Analyse your drives one by one and if it requires defragmentation, do it. This feature takes a lot of time so be patient.

After this Your computer will be synchronised for the fastest performance you can get. To continue getting this performance, perform 1,2 and 7 commands once in a month positively. Rest of the commands are permanent and they exist until you format your computer so they are one time format commands.
