Remove Unnecessary Startup Programs

2010-03-01T04:34:00.000-08:00

Some applications are automatically configured to load each time you boot into Windows. These programs are usually represented by icons that are loaded in your system tray (the panel located at the bottom right corner of your screen). Most of which are unnecessary and tend to take up unnecessary system resources which often slow down your computer. Microsoft provides a tool called the System Configuration Utility that enables you to configure the programs to be loaded during startup.

To use this utility, follow these steps:

Click Start, point to Run
Type in: msconfig
Click on the Startup tab

A list of options indicate the programs that start up each time you load Windows.
Tick only those that are necessary and click OK
You'll be prompted to restart your computer. Click Restart

If you're a Windows 2000 and Windows NT users, you can still use the same program msconfig.exe. Since Microsoft did not include the utility in these two versions of Windows. Once you have downloaded the file into your computer, follow these steps:

Unzip the file
Copy the msconfig.exe file into the C:\winnt\system32 folder
To access the utility, click Start, select Run and type in: msconfig

Ignore the error messages about not being able to find the following files:

config.sys

autoexec.bat

win.ini

system.ini

this process can help u a lot :
Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.

This opens the group policy editor.
Then go to:Local Computer Policy then Computer Configurationthen
Administrative Templates
then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler
and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth.
It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e."By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.
"So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.
