Don’t you hate it when you turn on the computer and you must wait a couple minutes before use? What make cause this slow down is due to the fact that many programs are starting up as you turn on a computer. Often when you install new programs onto a computer they add a registry edit where they start upon startup. These programs do not need to be started as you turn on the computer because they don’t affect how they function.
To remove these programs at start up go to Start->Run-> Type msconfig then press enter. Go to the start up tab and a list of programs should be there. For example, I removed the AIM entry also you may be willing to remove MSN messenger or any other unneeded programs.
This tip will shave off maybe minutes, depending on how many programs start at start up, so try it out and see if there is a difference.
