    How To Speed Up A Slow Computer

    first off in the bottom right hand corner of your computer if you see alot of icons start up there when you first start your computer then this is for you if you dont know already how to get rid of em.

     

    Press your Start Button (bottom left) and go to “run”

    now type in: msconfig

    now you will get a box that pops up and will tell you bunch of stuff dont mess with anything else other than what I tell you otherwise you could do something really bad (possible) go to your “startup” tab on the top right of the screen where it usually is and click it.

     

    Now you will have a closed in box with bunch of filenames n addresses and more boxes with checks in them. Now if your like me you dont want anything startin up when you start you computer up or while your even doing anything cause it slows you down. Now unless your like me right now 1 have 1 thing starting up when my computer starts up and thats my settin for my overclocked vid card. But other than that uncheck every box and then hit apply and ok. Then window you were jus in will now close and ask you if you want to restart or wait till later to restart.

     

    Either way when you shut it off and then turn it back on the settins will kick in

    Getting used to using your keyboard exclusively and leaving your mouse behind will make you much more efficient at performing any task on any Windows system. I use the following keyboard shortcuts every day:

     

    Windows key + R = Run menu

     

    This is usually followed by:

    cmd = Command Prompt

    iexplore + "web address" = Internet Explorer

    compmgmt.msc = Computer Management

    dhcpmgmt.msc = DHCP Management

    dnsmgmt.msc = DNS Management

    services.msc = Services

    eventvwr = Event Viewer

    dsa.msc = Active Directory Users and Computers

    dssite.msc = Active Directory Sites and Services

    Windows key + E = Explorer

     

    ALT + Tab = Switch between windows

     

    ALT, Space, X = Maximize window

     

    CTRL + Shift + Esc = Task Manager

     

    Windows key + Break = System properties

     

    Windows key + F = Search

     

    Windows key + D = Hide/Display all windows

     

    CTRL + C = copy

     

    CTRL + X = cut

     

    CTRL + V = paste

     

    Also don't forget about the "Right-click" key next to the right Windows key on your keyboard. Using the arrows and that key can get just about anything done once you've opened up any program.
