How to: Speed up your computer's boot time

noreply@blogger.com (AB) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:33:00 +0000

One of the questions I am often asked is how to speed up the boot time(time Windows takes to load or boot).

There are a variety of factors (both hardware and software) involved in lowering the amount of time it takes for Windows to load.

Here are some tweaks that will make your computer boot a little faster:

1) Instead of Hard Disk for Operating System, Use Solid State Drive (SSD)

What is SSD ?

2) Add or upgrade RAM. RAM is pretty cheap these days, so if you're running low, there's no reason not to stock up and make your computer run a little smoother.

What is RAM ?

3) Keep antivirus up to date. This is more of a preventative measure than an actual boot-speeding tip, but if you ever do get malware, it's sure to slow your computer's boot time.

You already know, what antivirus is :)

4) Remove unnecessary fonts.Windows has loaded fonts at startup and slowed down the boot time. This is less of a problem than it used to be, but it can still slow you down a bit. Windows 7 loads over 200 fonts at startup; even more if you've installed Microsoft Office.

5) Disable Unused Hardware.Your computer loads a lot of drivers when it first starts up, some of which you might not even use. Head into the Device Manager from the Start Menu's search box, and look for anything you aren't using

Get Windows 7-like Superbar on XP / Vista

noreply@blogger.com (AB) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:19:00 +0000

If you don't want to install Windows 7 but want to have superbar, then here we have solution for you. Just look at this application and have what you wanted to have on your windows. The Application we are talking about converts your taskbar into Windows 7 taskbar.
Let's see how it functions:

Once installed and running, your taskbar instantly changes form, grouping windows into single, 48x48 icon sections. Hovering over each icon shows a popup telling you the name of each window or the names of the windows in that group. Each group popup is dynamically resized via "glide" animation—based somewhat on the Aero Peek feature in Windows 7—to fit to the size of the text to be shown, making movement across the task bar seamless. And while it doesn't boast every feature of the superbar, it is a nice tweak if you'd like to bring similar taskbar functionality to your pre-7 Windows installations. ViGlance is freeware utility.

Chance to Win a Free Copy of Windows 7 Ultimate

noreply@blogger.com (AB) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 05:21:00 +0000

Microsoft is offering users a chance to win a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate as well as a Windows 7 T-shirt. Stephen L Rose, Sr community manager, Windows IT Pro Client, revealed that all that users needed to do was to fill out a short survey. The Redmond company has already put up the IT Pro Internet Habits – IT Pro Internet Browsing Survey, which can be accessed through this link. As the label of the survey indicates, the software giant aims to receive feedback on the browsing habits of respondents.

After answering the seven simple questions, users will be granted a chance to win a free Ultimate SKU of Windows 7 and a T-shirt to go along with it. Microsoft has not indicated any sort of participation limitations at this point in time. Moreover, users who want to take the survey will need to fill in their email address and their country of residence, suggesting that the initiative is valid worldwide.

Essentially the survey is designed to provide Microsoft with an insight on the number of computers participants use, their preferred browser, as well on how they manage anonymous Internet browsing, and the deletion of cache and history data.

Microsoft is gearing up to make Windows 7 available to the public on October 22, 2009. The Redmond company confirmed the general availability deadline officially, and indicated that Windows 7, just as Windows Vista, would be launched globally. Ahead of GA, the software giant is preparing to wrap up the next iteration of the Windows client come next month. Windows 7 will be released to manufacturing in the second half of July 2009. However, Microsoft has already started planning details of the Windows 7 launch with its partners, both from the retail and the OEM channels.
