How to configure your PC to boot Faster.


After some time your PC may take more time to start due to useless startup applications and improper configurations.
Solution:

ü  Remove useless/unneeded startup programs. You have potentially dozens of programs running in the background that you don’t know about. These do nothing but suck up valuable RAM. In order to get rid of these you must use the MsConfig utility (Start -> Run-> Msconfig) and uncheck all the startup applications.

ü  Run a disk defragmenter. Defragging your system will streamline the way computer accesses information. It will tie up loose ends and condense the data on your computer so it runs more efficiently. It is recommended to defrag your PC once a month.

ü  Adjust Startup delay time to speed up the Boot time


Step 1: Go to Start-> Run and type Regedit and press enter. This will open Registery Editor  
Step 2: Go to following Key
        HKEY_LOACAL_MECHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\ContentIndex

Step 3: Find the “Startup Delay” Key and Double Click on it.  
Step 4: Choose Base and click Decimal
 
Step 5: Change the Default Value  from 4800000 (75300:hexadecimal) to  40000  
Step 6: Close the Registry editor and Reboot your PC.
