How to make your pc work faster
Here you can find useful tips you can do to make your pc work faster
in a few minutes , just follow these tips and you will definitely have a
much faster and more reliable PC!
Quote:
1. Wallpapers: They slow your whole system down, so if you’re willing to compromise, have a basic plain one instead!
2. Minimizing: If you want to use several programs at the same time
then minimize those you are not using. This helps reduce the overload on
RAM.
3. Boot Faster: The ‘starting Windows 9x , xp’ message on startup can
delay your booting for a couple of seconds. To get rid of this message
go to c:\ and find the file
Msdos.sys.
Remove the Read-Only option. Next, open it in Notepad or any other text
editor. Finally, go to the text ‘Options’ within the file and make the
following changes: Add BootDelay=0. To make your booting even faster,
set add Logo=0 to remove the Windows logo at startup.
4. Restart only Windows: When restarting your PC, hold down Shift to
only restart Windows rather than the whole system which will only take a
fraction of the time.
5. Turn Off Animations: Go to Display Settings from the Control Panel
and switch to the Effects Tab. Now turn off Show Windows Content While
Dragging and Smooth Edges on Screen Fonts. This tip is also helpful with
Windows XP because of the various fade/scroll effects.
6. Resolutions: If you are willing to do anything for faster
performance from your PC, then try lowering your display resolution. The
lower it is, the faster your PC
7. Start Up Programs: Windows can be slowed down when programs run on
start up. To eliminate this, check your Start up folder. You can access
it from the start menu: Start, Programs, Start Up. Another way to
eliminate programs from loading even before Windows actually starts is
by doing the following: Click on Start, then Run. Type msconfig. It will
take quite a long time for this program to load, but when you finally
see it on your screen, explore the different tabs. They all have to do
with how quickly your PC boots, so select what you want, and uncheck
what you don’t want!
8. Fonts: When Windows starts, it loads every single font in the
Fonts folder. Therefore, the more fonts you have, the slower the booting
process. To get rid of unwanted fonts, simply go to the Fonts folder
under c:\windows and remove whatever you don’t want. Fonts that have a
red letter ‘A’ as their icon are system fonts, so don’t delete them.

BLOCK WEBSITES WITHOUT ANY SOFTWARE:
Steps1] Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc2] Find the file named “HOSTS”
3] Open it in notepad
4] Under “127.0.0.1 localhost” Add 127.0.0.2
www.orkut.com , and that site will no longer be accessable.
example :
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2
http://www.orkut.com-
www.orkut.com is now unaccessable
For every site after that you want to add, just add “1” to the last
number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) and then the addy like before.
ie:
127.0.0.3
www.yahoo.com
127.0.0.4
www.msn.com
127.0.0.5
www.google.com
This also works with banner sites, just find the host name of the server with the banners and do the same
.

Just follow the following steps:
1.Select any file or folder.
2.Right click on it,press rename or simply press F2.
3.Press and hold the alt
key.While holding the Alt key,type numbers 0160 from the numpad.

spaces.Just follow these steps below:
1.Select file,press F2.
2.Hold alt key and type 0160 from the numpad.

key.Now without doing anything else,again hold alt key and press 0160.

Increase your ram speed at no cost
Here I will give you a cool tip to increase your system RAM while working for no cost.
1)Start any application, say window window media
player.Start playing any song.
2)Now start the Task Manager Processor tab and sort the list in descending order on Memory Usage.
You will notice that
Wmp.exe will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.
3)Now go back to media player and simply minimize it.
4)Now go back to the Task Manager and see where
Wmp.exe
is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will
typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word.
Now check out the amount of RAM it is
using.The memory utilization has reduced by a huge amount.
So,simple-minimize each application that u are currently not working
on by clicking on the Minimize button and you can increase the amount of
available RAM by a great margin.
Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together, the
difference can be as much as 50 percent of extra RAM and all this is
free of cost. In any multitasking system, minimizing an application
means that it won’t be utilized by the user right now.
