Tip 2
Disable System Restore
System restore will take up resources such as memory and hard-disk IO. Personally I have been using windows xp ever since it came out and I have never used system restore. If you are going to disable the system restore make sure you backup important files to anther disk such as USB stick / CD-ROM / Tape drive and so on. To disable system restore in windows xp do the following
1. Right-click 'my computer' and click properties.
2. Click the "System Restore" tab at the top.
3. Check the box "Turn off system restore on all drives"
Tip 3
Delete Temp Files
Most programs you use will leave *.tmp / *.temp files on your computer, Over time these files will pile up and can consume alot of disk space. To clear these files down click start > run and type in CMD then press enter, A black window will pop up. In this window type Del /a /f /q /s file : ///C:/*.tmp"C:*.tmp and Del /a /f /q /s C:*.tempThen press the enter key. If you have 2 partitions repeat this process for the other partitions, Replace C: with the letter of your other drive, for example Del /a /f /q /s file: ///D:/*.tmp"D:*.tmp if you have a D: drive. Be careful when doing this, if you enter the wrong command it could delete some system files and cause windows xp not to boot.
Tip 4
Remove Unnecessary Software
You may have a bunch of software packages on your hard drive that are no longer needed, or they were gratuitously installed when you downloaded some other package. Toolbars, file-sharing programs, free email enhancers, online shopping "companions" and download managers are notorious for this practice. These uninvited guests can put a big drag on your startup time, cause web pages to load slowly, and generally bog down your computer. Go to Control Panel, then Add/Remove Software to see what packages are installed. Remove the ones you know you don't need, and do a web search to learn about the ones you're not sure about.Empty The Recycle Bin
Tip 5
Run A Defrag
A defrag will re-arrange where the files are located on your system, it will move the files to make sure you get the best performance when access files. For example it will move all the system files to one part of the disk, so when the system needs to access system files they are all in the same location and the hard-drive does not need to jump around the disk as much to access what it needs.To run defrag double click on the my computer icon on your desktop, right click on the disk that says C: and then select properties. Click tools tab > Degragment now. Then select each partition you have in turn and click the defragement button. You will get a report of what has been done when it has finished.
Hopefully the above tips will help in speeding up your PC. make Windows XP run faster
