Make Windows XP Run Faster:

In WindowsXP, as in other versions of Windows, you can make Windows run faster using the MSConfig Utility. This utility can be used to stop programs from starting when Windows boots. You can stop spyware, adware, and unwanted programs by doing the following:

To access this utility Click Start(Fig.1)>Run>type "msconfig"(Fig.2)

Then click the tab that says Startup. unselect all the checked boxes.(Fig.3) I suggest not unselecting things such as Norton Antivirus or Mcafee Antivirus.

If you get an error such as this,







then you need Administrator privileges to access the MSConfig Utility. Talk to your System Administrator about that.
