You can speed up your computer’s bootup time, as well as speed up your PC in general, by disabling a variety of programs in your Startup folder.   It’s easy.  Here’s how:

Run a program called “msconfig” by clicking on your Start button, then clicking on Run, then typing msconfig into the window and then clicking the OK button.   Now click on the Startup tab in the window that pops up.  For the vast majority of all users, you can safely uncheck the following options:

* Anything related to Adobe Acrobat (like Speed Launch Assistant).  These programs will not be deleted and will still run.  They just won’t be loaded for instant start when you boot your computer.

*  “QTtask” — which is for Apple QuickTime.  Again, the program will not be deleted.  You’re just removing its instant start.

* “msmsgs” — which is Microsoft Messenger.  Unless you regularly use it, you can disable it from loading at computer startup.

NOTE: After you make a change and reboot your computer, a dialogue box will pop up.  It is essentially asking you if your computer is running ok.  If you’re satisfied, click on the check box to disable the dialog box. If you’re not satisfied, run msconfig again and reactivate the program(s) you disabled.

HINT: You may want to disable programs one at a time.  That way, you can see how your computer will work after each change.   After you disable a program, reboot your computer and see how your PC runs.  If you’re satisfied with the change, disable warning box

Enjoy your newfound PC speed and performance!
