I’ve been wondering how I can speed up my computer for a while. This will help me lots.

Thanks

Save the new as anything you like but it has to be a ‘.bat’ file e.g. fastboot.bat or deltemp.bat
Click ‘Start’ then ‘Run’
Type in ‘gpedit.msc’ and hit ‘ok’
Click on ‘Computer Configuration’ then ‘Windows Settings’
Double-click on ‘Scripts’ and then on ‘Shutdown’
Click ‘Add’ and find the batch file that you created and then press ‘Ok’

Example:

Go to Start and then Run and type “regedit”
Click through the file system until you get to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem”
Right-click in a blank area of the window on the right and select ‘DWORD Value’
Create a new DWORD Value called ‘NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate’
Then Right click on the new value and select ‘Modify’
Change the Value Data to ‘1′
Click ‘OK’

Now contains 26 speed tweaks, each labelled with low, medium and high risk. Very useful for me so I don’t mess anything up. A slow pc is better than a broke pc.

Peace

My personal advice would be :
1) NEVER DONWLOAD anything that is meant to speed up your pc. These things just do not work, or tamper around with your setting to the extent that they make your system unstable. And its strange logic that running another program can speed up your pc.

2)Dont disable system restore! No No No! If anything ever goes wrong with your pc, system restore should be your first port of call. If its disabled, you’ve really narrowed down your options.

3) If you’re unsure about changing something, or just generally not confident about it, then dont do it. If you’re not confident about it, it probably means you dont understand it, in which case you cant reverse it if anything goes wrong.

Your and ignorant dick head. People in other parts of the world outside the USA spell optimise with an S.

I am always amazed how people show their ignorance when commenting in a
negative way.”

People in most parts of the world would write that opening sentence using “you’re” and “an” as the first two words. But only because we can spell correctly.

Apart from that, some really good stuff to get Windows XP running faster. I have a home PC based on an old P4 processor and an office PC based on a dual-core beast. My tweaked home PC feels and runs quicker.

Somebody wake Andrew, here’s another opinion that may have some validity:

“Nov-30-06 11:06AM

‘Ize’ is, believe it or not, an influence FROM the Middle English types,
and bestowed on the Americans!
The Oxford English Dictionary has adopted ‘ize’ as a standard suffix
for pretty much all of the words mentioned so far; realize, visualize, organize, optimize.
Nope, folks, the ‘ize’ ending was introduced along with the French loan words of the 13/14/15th centuries – you can thank your good pal .
The use of ‘ise’ has always been a recessive form of the word in the UK and elsewhere, whereas ‘ize’ is the dominant form globally, and is not American in origin after all.”

By the way,
These tips are good for those who realise they make a difference to their computing.(notice the ‘ise’,,, I’m Canadian)
I’m amazed how an individual can even think that his computing environment may resemble everyone else’s.
Also, Andrew don’t bother to respond to my comments. I’m not interested in yours.

Shutting down and starting up goes- wham! Faster than a speeding MS update!

Here is the Microsoft Knowledgebase article to prove it:

If the author thinks the system.ini does anything but provide for legacy compatibility with 16-bit apps then I suggest the author go read up on Windows XP 101.

# Improve Swapfile Performance

If you have more than 256MB of RAM this tweak will considerably improve your performance. It basically makes sure that your PC uses every last drop of memory (faster than swap file) before it starts using the swap file.

if you burn data to dvds while doing other tasks and have less than 512 of ram this will definitely slow you down

Thanks for your tips

Andrew – if you’re wondering why all your comments are being deleted, it’s because I’ve had enough of you, and I’m sure my readers have had enough as well. I also don’t have the energy or desire to get drawn into an argument with you, which again I’m sure my readers have no interest in.

I had thought that with his site I had found the true no BS source. Now I see that being right and promoting self are the priorities.

Kudos to Everton for being mature AND helpful. My trust goes to those who take an honest shot at being helpful and admit they are wrong over one who is repeatedly and exaggeratedly negative and tries to hijack traffic from other. Boo!
