Speed up Windows XP




Here’s an easy tweak that if implemented, can speed up your Windows XP system by 10-20%. The beautiful thing about this tweak is that it doesn’t involve any changes to the Windows Registry.

As you might know, Windows operating systems feature a constant trade off between visualization richness and system performance. The “prettier” you system look, the more it consumes its resources and thus the more likely is to start crawling and consequently affects your productivity (and nerves :) ).

Windows XP basic configuration is optimized for best appearance. However if you set Windows to optimize performance, you’ll loose some (insignificant?) visual effects, such as the 3d toolbar, shadowed menus etc’, but you gain a lot in system performance.

How to implement the tweak ?

    Hi Gili,
    Found your post interesting.
    I am a new blogger and am just learning the art and science of blogging. I had also done a post on making XP faster on my blog Webtools. That post included this trick also.
    Will appreciate your comments.
