Does your PC run slower than it should be? You may try these steps to make your computer run faster.

Just follow the steps :

1. Click on Start Menu and click on 'Run'.

2. Type 'MSCONFIG'

3. Click on 'Startup' Tab in the upper right corner as shown in the image-

4. Uncheck programs you don't use. Or click on 'Disable All' to uncheck all programs. Click 'OK' and restart your computer.

Next time your windows starts, it will run faster and load faster.

I can see what is important to me but, How can we find if there's something important for the OS (windows) if there are such of course. Else, I don't want anything to start when booting.

Thank you for this tutorial Ahsan! Now I don't have to worry about shutting everything down when I start windows up...

@xtraze, check where the files are located and do not close down any that are located in the 'SYSTEM32' or 'WINDOWS' folders.

I have seen Viruses copy them selves to those Folders you mention. If I ever got infected by a smart Virus, I better be careful when trying to close it down by this.

Don't worry even if you remove everything, the basic things for the Os to work properly will be loaded :)

But theres is one thing you should be careful of guys. Thats your Antivirus software. Try not to un-check it and get infected.
