Shutting+of+programs+to+increase+spead

__** Turning off programs that my reduce speed is essential when trying to speed up your computer. **__

 1. Begin by pressing the Start menu and scrolling down to //start search// or to run in XP.

 2.Type in the word "msconfig" into the search bar.

3. Windows will then ask for permission to continue. Select Yes. 4. The System Configuration Menu will then pop up. 5. Click on the the tab labeled "Startup" at the top of the menu box.

6. After selecting "Startup" there will be a list of Startup items. The boxes checked indicate that the program is running and is set to run when the computer is turned on.

 7. Uncheck any of the boxes that you may not need. (DO NOT uncheck boxes if you do not know what program it is you are deselecting. 8. If certain music programs such as Ares, LimeWire, or Itunes are selected, that means these programs are running and/or they are set to start running as soon as the computer is turned on. These items tend to slow down computers and computer turn on/off time. Deselect them if you do not wish to have them begin running as soon as you turn your computer on. (Deselecting these items does not mean you are deleting them, you can open them back up whenever you want) 9. This is very helpful for people who do not want to these items to start up right away and only want to have them on when they are being used. 10. After selecting/deselecting select click apply then OK. 11. You will then be prompt to restart your computer to accept changes immediately or exit without restarting.



12. Your computer will then restart with the new changes and will hopefully be a little faster than it was previous.

HOPE THIS HELPED!!!!!!!!!!!
