Document 09. Starting Windows in "light" mode
The most efficient way of optimizing Windows is to start it up without all those little programs that automatically start when Windows starts up, as these little applications can cause performance or compatibility problems. This is not dangerous for your system, nor is it final; you can go back on what you have done at any time.


1 - Go to the Start menu click on Run and type in MSCONFIG then click on Ok :

 


2 - In the MSCONFIG menu go to the startup section and remove the ticks from each of the boxes down the left hand side:



3 - Click on OK Then in the pop-up asking you to restart your PC, click Restart, (saving anything else you were working on beforehand):

Do NOT use the Safe mode setup to browse the internet or check your e-mail without re-activating your antivirus, firewall etc. Re-activating these programs is

can activate or de-activate those that cause the largest system slow-down or those that are un-needed (like automatic media player updaters etc.).
