>>Beginners Guide In Speeding Up The Pc,Internet and Other stuff<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>By Heaven_master_ash<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

I spent months trying various but simple MANUAL ways to speed up the pc,IE and various other stuff and writing them down,i now pass them to you,any comments or questions please look me up at heaven_master_ash@yahoo.com and mail it to me.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

1-First the Easy ways:

i- click on the desktop>>>Properties>>>Desktop>>>Customize Desktop>>>Uncheck RUN DESKTOP CLEANUP>>Ok

ii-Desktop>>>Properties>>>Power>>>Turn off monitor>>>NEVER(not recommended if you spend like 12 hours on the pc or more)

iii-Desktop>>>properties>>>Appearance>>>Effects>>>Uncheck USE THE FOLLOWING TRANSITIONS and SHOW SHADIWS UNDER MENUS>>>ok

iiii-Desktop>>>properties>>>Settings>>>Advanced>>>change the srr(screen refresh rate) to 75Hz if found>apply

iv-Go to internet explorer>>> Properties>>>Content>>>Auto complete>>>Uncheck all but FORMS>>>Apply

v-Internet Explorer>>>Properties>>>Connections>>>LAN Settings>>>Automatically detect settings>>ok

vi-Click Start>>>Control Panel>>>Printers and other hardwares>>>Mouse>>>Pointer>>>change SCHEME to 3D WHITE SYSTEM SCHEME, and uncheck the ENABLE POINTER SHADOW>>>Ok

vii-Control Panel>>>Sounds and audio devices>>>place volume icon in taskbar , then back to Performance and Maintenance>>>system>>>Advanced>>>settings(under Performance)>>>Adjust for best Perforance>>then check : SHOW WINDO CONTENTS WHILE DRAGGING and SMOOTH EDGESON SCREEN FONTS and USE COMMON TASKS IN FOLDER and USE DROP SHADOWS FOR ICON LABELS and USE VIRTUAL STYLES ON WINDOWS AND BUTTONS>>>APPLY>>>Ok.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

2-Now to the more complex but effective ways:

viii-My computer>>>right click on C hd (the hd you have ure OS on)>>>properties>>>uncheck ALLOW INDEXING SERVICE TO INDEX THIS DISK FOR FAST SEARCHING>>>ignore and ok all msgs.
(THIS IS A VERY EFFECTIVE WAY TO SPEED UP THE HD)
Now back to Control panel>>>add/remove programs>>Add/remove windowscomponents>>>uncheck(if checked) INDEXING SERVICES>>>Next

ix-IMPORTANT: Now There are many unimportant services that the user does not need tp run the system.These services operate everytime you Boot and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE have an exploit that can viruses get in threw and leads to a slow Os etc...etc...so it is a good idea to close these holes(exploits) and stop these useless services to both increase security and speed.

Let's start doing that :
Start>>>Run>>>services.msc>>>ok
The Services window will open so now we close the dangerous holes and useless services:
The first service:ALERTER
right click then Properties>>>a window will appear>> next to STARTUP press the arrow and change the status to DISABLE.
DO THE SAME THING FOR THE FOLLOWING SERVICES:

AUTOMATC UPDATE
CLIPBOOK
COMPUTER BROWSER
Disributed Link Tracking Client
Error reporting service
Fast User Switching
Fax
Human Interface Access Devices
Indexing Service
IPSEC Services
Messenger
Net Logon
Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing
Network DDE
Network DDE DSDM
Portable Media Serial Number Service
Remote Desktop Help Session Manager
Remote Procedure Call Locator
Remote Registry
Routing & Remote Access
Server
SSDP Discovery Service
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Telnet
Terminal Services
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
Upload Manager
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Windows Time
Wireless Zero ConfiguratioN
Workstation
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><


3-Now WAYS TO INCREASE SEURITY AND SPEED UP THE INTERNET CONNECTION(kinda):

x-Double click on the time on the taskbar>>>Internet Time>>>Uncheck AUTOMATICALLY SYNCHRONIZE WITH AN INTERNET TIME SERVER.

xi-Right click Mycomputer>>>Properties>>>remote>>Uncheck ALLOW REMOTE ASSISTANCE INVITATION TO BE SENT FROM THIS COMPUTER.

xii-Now We speed up the internet more and more but from the REGISTERY:
start>>>run>>>regedit>>>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>>>Software>>>Microsoft/Windows>>>Current Version>>>Explorer>>>RemoteComputer>>>NameSpace
Look up for the key under the NAme space and Delete it:
D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF

xii-There are files that slow down the Pc very very much and they aren't important and the OS deletes them anyways every month or week or so.These files can be found in:
start>>>Run>>>Prefetch
Wipe all the files in it.
There is a way actually that prevents the existence of these files FROM THE FIRST PLACE but i DON't Reccomend this:
start>>>Run>>>regedit>>>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\MemoryManagement\PrefetchParameters
Now change the PARAMETER value to:
0- to totally deny these files
1-to allow program files only
2-to allow Operatinf Files only
3-allow All files (best recommended and you can delete the files manually eachtime u remember!Smile

<><><><><><><><><>><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

xiii-WAY TO SPPED UP WINDOWS SHUTDOWN:
start>>>run>>>regedit>>>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control >>>click control>>>Waittokillservicetimeout>>>right click waittokillservicetimeout>>>modify>>>choose value less than 2000(i put 0).

also go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop and do the same thing to WAITTOKILLAPPTIMEOUT

xiv-DeLeTe ALL TEMP FILES COZ THEY ARE MAJOR SLOWDOWNERS!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

xv-STOPPING PROGRAMS THAT OPEN WHEN THE OS BOOTS:
start>>>Run>>>msconfig>>>startup>>>uncheck all the programs u dont want them to boot with ure system.

xvi-IMPORTANT!!!(u'll thank me for this):
How to STOP the error Messages that show without reason at startup:

again start>>>run>>>regedit>>>HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows>>right click on the right and choose newdword ,name it NoPopupsOnBoot and give it a value of 1
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

xvii-WAY TO SPEED UP THE START MENU:
start>>>menu>>>regedit>>>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop>>>look for MENUSHOWDELAY and change its value from 400 to 0,reboot and u'll see the difference.

I have only one question.. you put thousands of ">>, --,xx" to get more credits?

Nice post, it can help people who wanna learn how to mess up the registry nah it really can help to learn to manage the registry, its very needed.
I actually for boost my Internet conecction or for improve my PC performance I use some kind of programs, i dont wanna need to reinstall Windows messing up my registry lol
Ill give ya all some links

http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
There you can find the popular ''TCP optimizer'' which boost up your net speed. Also there you can find the registry patches (scroll down) and the only thing to do with those is download 'em and click them

http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utiliti...Smoker_Pro.html
Thats an award winning program that will improve your PC performance. It has lost of features that improve each section of your PC i use it and its one of my favorites

http://www.softlookup.com/display.asp?id=84801
Another PC booster program, its very known.

Well I Dont Put >> --- XX For Credits I Put This For Quality Of Post Which Very Neccessary Bcause They Can Unterstand Only If The Quality of Post Is Good

to me, the post is crapy, no offense but the excessibve <><><><<< just dont fly.... like buffalohelp said, study the BBcode's, you cna use center, left, right alignment, there is a tab....

Although you did get some ideas through in your post, you missed some pretty big ones. Also, some of those you mentioned wouldn't even help that much, if at all.
One of the most common but effective ways to speed up your computer is by defragmenting your harddrive, as you didn't mention. This will move all your files, including the ones that are out of place, into a small portion of your harddrive so it doesn't have to scan thousands of files on your harddrive in different places but instead, can scan in one place where they all are and can create less loading times on your computer. To do a Disk Defragment, go to Start-Programs (or All Programs)-Accessories-System Tools-Disk Defragment. Defragment your C: Drive (your main computer drive) or any other harddrive you need to such as external harddrives or even large flash drives.
You can also eliminate computer start-up times by stopping all your programs from opening all at once when you log in to Windows. You can do this by going to Start-Run-msconfig. Then select the Startup tab at the top and if you see any programs you don't need starting up when your computer is booted, unselect them. Note that some programs don't match the label given. For instance I think Quicktime is labeled as qttask. Also remember that you MUST NOT unselect everything, as you are playing around with your startup files. Not only do programs start but some important Windows files do also. So 9 times out of 10 if you don't recognize the name of the label given, you shouldn't touch. Yet one way to tell is to look at the location where the files is at. Like how I said that qttask is Quicktime? You should note that the location is in your Quicktime folder so you know that it's Quicktime.
One last thing you could do is running a program that checks your registries for errors, that way it can fix them and your computer and its programs will run faster than before. I ran a program like that on a computer once (not mine) and it found 185 errors and fixed them all, which boosted the speed of the computer greatly.

hey i did it and it was a great help. but the only thing i real need is to make it faster when i have more programs running. my computer seems to slow down when i have some big programs running (more than 1)

is there a way to fix that?

This post was meant to help? Could have fooled me..... Your options to have it run faster don't do a thing for my computer and the most basic ones along with some more advance and yet simple ones were still not listed. I'm not the world's best computer tech but I sure know how to make a better helping post about such a simple topic than the one above. Not to offend anyone or anything as I am not like that....
