2009-11-13
hey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I'm here with the video that should be pretty helpful to a lot of you guys this is going to be how to boot your Windows PC much faster in addition to allowing you to free up RAM free up system resources and in general hopefully make a computer just a little bit speedier and just you know just speed up some anyway let's get this one started okay guys so I'm going to be showing you a very simple trick that should really speed up your computer and really speed up the boot times now this doesn't matter I recommend if you've never done this before do it on any computer it doesn't matter if you bought it today or if you've had it for five years doesn't really matter because this really kind of just keeps your computer from loading all kinds of programs that you really don't want it to be so it's very simple we should be I mean just two minutes you want download anything it's just really simple okay now if you're running XP I need you to open up run okay you know just go into your Start menu and open up run if you're running Vista or Windows 7 all I have to do is just hit the Windows key and then you should already have to start search down here okay so regardless of whether you an XP or Windows Vista slash seven I'm going to need you to type in this M s c-- o-- n f IG okay punch that in and then open up the MS config okay now you will see a little system configuration window now don't worry this is gonna be very simple don't worry about you know messing something up okay so you're gonna need to go over to the fourth tab just startup okay now let's go ahead and just stretch it out so go ahead and stretch out the you see the startup item so you can actually really see what you're looking at okay now what we're going to be doing here is deleting some startup items not to kind of explain what I mean by this why did it does is mini programs when they're installed on your computer whether they came installed on your computer or you download them like iTunes etc will want to run automatically when you start up sometimes this is good so you know you don't have to actually open something up it's already running in the background as soon as you turn on your computer but the problem is that takes up not only your time you know it could take ten seconds to load up a program that you might not necessarily be wanting to open and you might not even know about it and to it also can just gobble up Ram you can you know slow your computer down I mean sometimes there's programs that you really didn't know that you had or you don't really need and the thing is you don't you're not deleting the programs you're just not having them automatically open that what all it is is that if you click let's say like you have iTunes not start then if I choose won't start at the beginning when you boot your computer but if you click iTunes it'll come right up it's just that your instead of you know spending two or three minutes loading all these programs when you first turn on your computer you're loading them after if you need them okay so now at this point you just go ahead and just deselect as many startup items as you can safely now some obviously you're going to need to stay like Windows Defender you know some different things like audio and you know different drivers and that sort of thing like obviously you know you don't want to deselect Windows operating system that might be bad but you just go go down through go through stuff that you know if you don't know what it does if you mean you know some things like you know like this control center which runs the graphics that sort of thing if you're not a hundred percent sure what it is you might just want to leave it alone but you come down here like here I've got this backup thing I don't really ever use this power DVD program I don't need that quick time I don't need that you know steam my web my webcam program none of that stuff I really need when I boot up my computer if I need to I can open and run it up but I don't know I mean I'd much rather you know save 45 seconds by not opening any of these programs and just you know open one or two and you know wait an extra two seconds for them to load so my guys that was just a really simple video on how to speed up your Windows PC booting as well as just general day-to-day use you know it's really simple I know some of you guys might have already done this but it's a really simple way to really not only speed up your computer but just you know quit spending all this time and all this effort loading all these junk programs that you probably don't even need anyway guys thanks for watching
