Many people know that after installing and activating Windows Vista, the system does not work as quickly as we would like. This problem occurs due to the fact that many unnecessary applications and services are launched. To optimize the performance of Windows Vista, you need to disable unnecessary programs and services, optimize the registry, and free up virtual memory.
Instructions
Step 1
So, to remove unnecessary components in the OS, go to the Control Panel and find the "Programs and Features" tab. From this menu, select Turn features on or off in Windows. Next, mark the services that you definitely don't use in your day-to-day work. For example, Telnet Server, TFTP Client, Tablet PC Components, Internet Information Services (IIS) and NFS, DFS Replication Service, RIP Listener, Unix Applications, SNMP Component. Also disable the print service if you are not using a printer, and the fax and scan service if you do not have a scanner or fax connected to your PC.
Step 2
After all unnecessary services are marked, click "OK" and after the system removes these services, restart your computer.
Step 3
Next, optimize the interface. To do this, right-click on "Computer" and select "Advanced options" in the "System" window. Next, go to the performance settings and in the "Visual effects" tab select the "Provide best performance" item.
Step 4
Click the "OK" button and restart your computer if necessary. This option is great when your computer has a small amount of RAM, or you just don't like an overly complex interface. Also in the properties of the "Start" menu, select the radio button "Classic Start Menu". Or customize the menu manually if you don't really like the classic type.
Step 5
Next, optimize the registry. Basically, this speeds up the system by 40-50%, but here you need to be extremely careful. Enter the Registry Editor by pressing the Windows Key + R key combination. In the window that appears, enter the regedit command. Then find the FileSystem subkey under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch. Double-click the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation parameter and enter one in the Value line. Then open the NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate parameter and set the value again to 1. These actions will speed up the hard disk.
Step 6
This completes the optimization of the registry and the system as a whole. Also, do not install unnecessary drivers for Windows Vista, so as not to load the operating system.
