Things You’ll Need:

Microsoft Windows PC
Keyboard and Mouse

Step 1:
Turn on your computer. Click 'Start' and select 'Run' from the menu.

Step 2:
Type in: msconfig then click OK.

Step 3:
From the new window that appears, select the 'Startup' tab located along the top.

Step 4:
This list shows everything that loads when you turn on your computer. This usually includes programs that don't need to be open right away, such as 'Limewire' and CD burning software which starts automatically slowing down your systems performance. Scan the list and uncheck all the programs that you don't constantly use. Stay away from filenames you don't recognise as these may be essential to the smooth running of your system. There is no harm in clicking the 'Disable All' then turning things back on after.

Step 5:
Finally, apply your changes and click 'OK'. Then restart your computer when prompt. Look how fast it loads!
