This is an important step to speed up computer startup. Some programs help to clean up the computer in a positive way but not as effective as we do manually. Go to the Windows directory of the operating system and delete the Drive Cache, LastGoodKnown folder, and delete the files in the Downloaded Installations, Prefetch, RegisteredPackeges, and Repair folders, in C: / Windows / System32 with the Reinstall Backup, Dll Cache. Remember that as many of the fonts in your operating system start to slow down, leave the necessary fonts and delete the fonts that you rarely use or have never touched.
Step 6: Shut down services when the computer boots
The services help a lot in the necessary situations, in addition it is completely useless and time consuming to boot your computer. If your computer does not have an Internet connection, right-click it My Computer choose Manager , select the item Services and Applications & gt; Services and select Disable The following items are available: Alert, Automatic Update, Computer Browser, DHCP Client, Help and Support, Human Interface Device Access, Messenger, Print Spooler, Routing and Remote Access, Server, Telephony, and Telnet. Client, Messenger, Telephony, Telnet.

Step 8 After performing the above steps, your hard drive will be extremely cluttered, use a program to defragment the hard drive to rearrange them to a corner.
