How to make Windows 'Startup' Faster


When your pc starts it loads up programs with it, which makes it a bit slower. So to speed up, you can remove the programs which are not required from the start up list. You can choose the programs you want to run at startup just by following these instructions:
1. Go to start menu, Click Run.
2. Type 'msconfig' in the Run dialog box. And press Enter.
3. System Configuration window shows up.
There you click start up tab (tabs are located on top).
4. You can disable the unnecessary programs or click disable all. (I recommend you keep your antivirus checked in the start up list).
5. Apply and restart.


Also if you want to remove unchecked programs from the list present in start up tab. Follow this:
1. Go the start menu, Click Run.
2. Type 'regedit'. Press Enter.
3. Registry Editor shows up. Press CTRL+F on keyboard.
4. Uncheck values and data, Check keys.
5. In find what, type 'msconfig'. And click find next.
6. Browse to startupreg in left pane, and under startupreg you will find programs which you have unchecked in startup list.
7. You can click any of those which you want to delete. And press delete on keyboard to delete the key.

I would also recommend CCleaner. It is much simple and convenient to use. :)
