In this article, I hope to compile a complete list of all the different methods and tricks that I've used to get the last bit of juice out of a slow PC.
Whether you are using an old PC or the latest and greatest in hardware, you can still use some of these to make your PC run faster.
ENJOY!!!!!!!1. Defragment your computer hard disk using free tools like
SmartDefrag.
2. You should also
defragment your Windows pagefile and registry.
3.
Clean up hard drive disk space being taken up by temporary files, the recycle bin, hibernation and more. You can also use a tool like

4. Load up Windows faster by using
Startup Delayer, a free program that will speed up the boot time of Windows by delaying the startup of programs.
5. Speaking of startup programs, many of them are useless and can be turned off. Use the
MSCONFIG utility to disable startup programs.
6. By default, the size of the paging file is controlled by Windows, which can cause defragmentation. Also, the paging file should be on a different hard drive or partition than the boot partition. Read here on the rules for
best paging file performance.
7. In Windows XP and Vista, the Windows Search indexing service is turned on for all local hard drives.
Turning off indexing is a simple way to increase performance.

11. One of the main reasons why PC's are slow is because of spyware. There are many programs to remove spyware including
Ad-Aware,
Giant Antispyware,
SUPERAntiSpyware, and more.

no bad sectors or other errors on your hard drive by using the ScanDisk orchkdsk utility.
72. If you are not using some of the hardware on your computer, i.e. floppy drive, CD-ROM drive, USB ports, IR ports, Firewire, etc, then go into your BIOS and disable them so that they do not use any power and do not have to be loaded during boot up.
73. If you have never used the
Recent Documents feature in Windows, then disable it completely as a long list can affect PC performance.
74. One basic tweak that can help in performance is to

Windows Classic theme under Display Properties.
76. Disable short filenames if you are using NTFS by running the following command:
fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 1. It will speed up the file creation process.

increasing the cluster size on NTFS to 16K or even 32K instead of 4K. This will help speed up opening of files.
79. If you have more than one disk in your PC, you can increase performance by moving your paging file to the second drive and formatting the volume using FAT32 instead of NTFS.
80. Turn off unnecessary features in Vista by going to

85. Remove the drivers for all
old devices that may be hidden in Device Manager that you no longer use.
86. A more extreme option is to choose a faster operating system. If you find Vista to be slow, go with Windows XP. Switching to Mac or Linux is also an option.
87. One of the easiest ways to
speed up your PC is to simply reformat it. Of course, you want to backup your data, but it is the best way to get your computer back to peak performance.
88. Speed up Internet browsing in IE by
increasing the number of max connections per server in the registry.
89. If you use uTorrent to download torrents, you can

92. If you search on Google a lot or Wikipedia, you can do it much faster on Vista by adding them to the
Vista Start Menu Instant Search box.
93. If you have a custom built computer or a PC that was previously used, make sure to check the BIOS for optimal settings such as enabled CPU caches, correctly set IDE/SATA data transfer modes, memory timings, etc. You can also enable Fast/Quick boot if you have that option.
