1.      Remove the program or software that you never use

Computer or laptop is often already equipped with a variety of programs that can not be used, such programs are limited trial version or the version that accidentally installed into the computer for you to try and if you like, you can buy it. If you do not like it, just delete this kind of software. Because the software will take your resources, both on disk and memory.

Note also the applications that you never wear. We may be used to allow some programs we've ever installed in the past, but probably never use it again. Search this kind of application and uninstall it.

Also check your antivirus application, backup, CD reader, and others. Such applications are usually called at startup, stay in memory and make your computer seem slow. If you do not need it should be deleted.

Go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, uninstall programs you do not wear.

2.      Limit the program to be called during boot / startup

Some developers make their programs are called at startup, so we remember to use it. But often the program - the program may not be useful for you. See the icon at the bottom right next to the clock, whatever the application program is there? Do you need it? If not, find the setting so that the program was not called at startup.

Courses are generally called at startup, among others :

• Messenger ( YM, MSN, Skype )
• Antivirus
• Application of the touchpad ( for laptops / notebooks )
• Application of scheduled automatic ( update, backup, defrag, etc. )

Consequently when we call a certain file or program, working extra hard drive to find files or programs are needed. This is called the 'fragmented' or fragmentation. Fragmentation on the disk makes the computer work harder, because the hard drive looking for data / files / programs in widely scattered locations. The solution, do defragm periodically so hard you work more efficiently. Press Start -> type in 'Disk Defragmenter' in the search.
