How to Optimize Windows 7 Desktop

Here's my personal tips and tweaks to get the best performance of your Windows 7 desktop.

1) Editing the performance options

- Right Click on My Computer then choose Properties.
- Click on Advanced system settings.
- In the Advanced tab under Performance, Click on Settings and choose the "Adjust for best performance".
- Click Apply and hit OK.

2) Tweaking the boot configuration and the system services and startup via msconfig

- Open the RUN command, and type in msconfig
- Click on the Boot tab, edit the Timeout seconds to 3 and click on Advanced options.
- Put the max processor available in the Number of processors options and alot full memory in the Maximum memory option and hit OK.
- Click on the Services tab and check the Hide all Microsoft services.
- You can uncheck everything or just choose the application services you need and click on Apply.
- Click on the Startup tab and click on Disable all. Click on Apply and hit OK.
- Reboot!

After reboot, You will notice that your system is a lot faster than it was before or even small difference but result is actually different. :)

  1. Most people would suggest this or this as they are the best know on the market. They find and fix most of errors in the system than any other. I run them every time when my computer starts crashing or working slow.`
