General Technical Help

[NiX]

Okay here's a great tip for everybody. It's what I do to speed up startup and computing in general:

(for Win XP)
1. Open the start menu
2. Click "run"
3. type "msconfig" and press enter
4. A window called "System Configuration Utility" will pop up.
5. On the "General" tab, select "Selective startup"
6. On the "Services" and "Startup" tabs, uncheck the boxes for everything that isn't necessary for normal windows operation.
7. To find out if it's safe to disable a particular process, check here: <a href='http://www.processlibrary.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.processlibrary.com/</a>
8. Restart your PC.
9. A window should pop up. Just check the box that says that you don't want it to pop up again.

Works for vista too except for some variations. Enjoy.
