Are you wondering why your Windows PC starts up slower as it gets older? Over time, you may have downloaded numerous applications that attempt to load themselves when your PC starts up. It’s perfectly acceptable to have a lot of programs, and some (like Anti-Virus or Firewall programs) are indeed justified, but often when you download freeware or install a trial version, other programs will be bundled into this software.When these known and unknown programs try to fill the memory at the same time, the problem occurs.
So here we will deal with how to remove unnecessary programs from your computer registry to free space in your harddrive and improve computer start-up performance.Slow start ups can occur from the very first day if the computer is bought from Staples, Best Buy, Circuit City, Office Depot or any such computer store.Stores normally include in the hardware sales software you may not need or want, that includes those for photo-editing, management tools, CD-writing, games and others you may not even understand.
Visiting the control Panel is the fastest method of trimming your start-up program.Locate the Control Panel by placing the pointer and clicking on the Start menu at the lower leftmost corner of the screen.When the Control Panel opens, you can then click on the Add/Remove Programs sub-menu.The length of the list of programs may be amazingly long. There may even be programs here that you don’t recognize.List down those programs you need or may want to use later, then review the rest for probable deletion.
Removing items from your Startup folder is generally safe, but deleting items individually from your Registry should only be done as a last resort, as this can be a little more dangerous.You can clean up your Registry fast and easy by using a program called Registry Easy. This program can be used with all versions of Windows, including Vista.What REgistry Easy does is scan your computer and eliminate missing or invalid entries causing freeze-ups, slowed start up performance and such actions. The program’s features and their beneficial use to you may be explored in this Registry Easy review.
Registry Easy can be set to scan either automatically or manually, so you can have total control of the process.The program can also revert Internet Explorer to its original default status, removing the additional toolbars and additionals you might have included over time. Registry Easy also has a back-up and recovery feature that restores the programs which might have been removed untintentionally, or even if you simply changed your mind.
