Start->run->msconfig and 'disable all' in Startup tab

 

Right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Performance > Adjust for best Performance.

 

Windowskey+pause > Advanced Tab > Performance "Settings" > Advanced Tab > Virtual Memory > Allocate depending on system

 

alter the registry to speed up boot and shut down times

then go into the bios and crank up the FSB, multiplier and HT

grim

 

get more RAM and adjust page file settings, and right click my computer > Advanced > properties >adjust performance

 

Already said that myself =]

and buying more ram doesn't really count as optimizing and customizing, it's upgrading

 

We must think alike

As for RAM bit mine has flashing lights so its sort of customizing

 

o_O sounds funky!

 

Not sure what the LEDs are supposed to represent but maybe it will say if there is an instruction sheet when the RAM arrives on Saturday.

 

this is a little tools but really great
http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
its help to configure startup
and C4sper is you disable all the entries you will disable the anti virus for example and thats not a good think ..

I'm sorry, I just can't resist.

Start > shut down

Debian: expert <enter>

Applications > Debian > Shells > Gnome Terminal

That's how I optimized my PC....

 

okay for me i reinstall my computer every 15-20days 1mouth max coz things star to accumulate especially my desktop (the poor hard drive ) after the installation i make some changes on my computer:
*in the hard disk system properties disable the indexation for speed search (sorry i translate from frensh) then ok,i my documents music videos are all in the other hard drive.
disable error report configuration panel>system>advanced>error reporting>disable but report when its critical .
i customize the task bar disable grouping of similar bouton i hate that and of course view the quick launch icon's.
install the anti virus now im using avast home edition (any advice for the antivirus)
install drivers and system updates and then defragmenting
finally we get to the essentials for me the 2 best software i ever seen are WINRAR and IRFANVIEW

tweak ui
ccleaner
orbit downloader
isobuster (for my scratched cd's)

 

Defragment HD and Pagefile

 

add nitrous oxide, red bull and then chuck it out the window

 

Jeeez. Every month??? The seems a tad excessive. But if you are insistent on doing that, and your data is on an external drive, perhaps you should buy Acronis True Image. That way, you can rebuild your machine, install your apps and any updates. Then take an image of that machine. When you want to go back, you just restore the image. It would save you a hell of a lot of time in the long run.

In order to keep things to a minimum, you could restore to image, install any updates since the last image, then reimage the machine ready for the next restore.

 

I reinstall every 18-24 months or so... but more importantly, I keep stuff off my PC that I don't need. Adding applications one after another (each of which want a place in your startup tray) is the quickest way to bogging down a computer. Keep it clean, and your computer will run quickly... remove things you don't use... and consider carefully before installing something in the first place.

 

thats a good idea Fergal1982 i have tried nlite too .
but i think the problem is not just my pc its also me
i don't feel good just if ive installed something before something else
like installing softwares before net framework stuff like that i feel that my computer is not built on strong bases
also if i installed a software and i found after that that i don't need it even if i uninstall it and remove all registry key relate to it im not comfortable !!!
even that i don't let my father play with the free cell until i finish all this things

i need a shrink!!!!!

 

Yeah, seems like it!

A PC isnt a delicate thing really. The innards are, but the software is a fair bit more stable than you seem to think it is. Order of installation of software is irrelevant, unless there are dependencies in the software. Its not like its built like a pyramid, with every installation stacking on top of the installations before it. Stop worrying about something like that, its pointless, and you are better spent using the energy you are wasting on such things on more worthwhile pursuits (for instance, the 2-4 hours you spend reinstalling your system every 25 days could be spent studying towards your A+). The one benefit, I suppose, is that you have experience installing Windows on machines.

If you want to get into IT, I would suggest getting over a hang-up like that, the machines you work on are hardly going to be like that. Hell, some pc's go years without being reformatted, and in many cases, the users are unlikely to let you do it. If you dont, you are likely to drive yourself crazy.

Uninstalling software is always going to be a pain. For some reason companies seem to find it impossible to remove all traces of their software from the registry, etc. Not entirely sure why, but there it is.
