As a computer user, you often find that your system takes too much time to Start. Sometimes it makes you unhappy with your system performance. Computer is a systematic combination of various electronic circuits with firmware, chips, operating system and application software. Here I am trying to describe some tips and tricks to increase your system startup speed.

Increase windows startup speed:

• Disk Cleanup is a good way to free some disk spaces. It is a built in Windows XP program and an effective process to boost your startup speed. Therefore, to cleanup your disk go to start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Cleanup. Choose the drive for which you want to perform disk cleanup operation. A window will open and select the files you want to delete and then click ok button.
  
  
  • Uninstall unnecessary program can also increase your system boot speed. So, to do that go to start->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs. Select the program that you don’t need at all and remove it. Uninstall program also free some disk space.
  •  Defragmentation is also an effective way to increase startup speed. It will be better if you defragment your drive once every month. Over a period of time of your install and uninstall programs the position of files goes scattered in drive that’s why when you try to open a file it takes a long time. Windows has a tool that allows you to defragment the file in a specific drive so that they can occupy a particular space and increase access speed. So, to defragment of a drive, go to start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Defragmenter. Click on Defragment to start the process. It will take a long time. Therefore, perform the defragmentation operation when you have no work in computer for long hours.
  •  Delete all unnecessary programs from your startup menu. To do that go to start->Programs and delete the program that you don’t want. Delete any program from startup menu does not mean that you delete the program from your hard drive. It is a good idea to restart your computer after deletion.
  •  System Configuration is the most effective solution to increase windows startup speed. This is where majority problem lies. So to do system configuration, go to start and then click on Run. A small window will open and type ‘msconfig’ on the open field of the window and then click ok button. Again, a new window will open. Go to ‘Startup’ tab and deselect the program that you do not want to start when your windows get start. You need to be very careful while performing this step. When your selection finished click on Apply button.
