This is something people don't do usually but its damn effective,
after installing i-tunes and other shitty programs we can see that our computer will be running like an old granny walking till death... This is quite a pain cos it can continue to becoming what is known as blue screen of death - BSOD. You can easily avoid this with some simple steps.
1. Selective start-ups :
This is one way of controlling the programs that run in windows during start up. This improves start up speed considerably. Just follow these simple pictures and you can easily raise the bar off of your computer's performance. [much lesser RAM and cache usage...speedy comp ]
step 1.
Goto run -> type "msconfig"
step 2:
Go to selective start up. The name implies... you can select the programs you start.
step 3:
Go to the services tab. In case you have iTunes or something and u do not wish to use them you can turn off services like bonjour services and apple mobile services which eat ram off ur computer....when u need them just reselect them back and restart...
step 4:
Startup programs:
This is where u can actually select which program starts with your computer. This includes audio driver, video driver, updater etc. u can identify programs that are useless like Hamachi in this picture that waste your ram space and in turn increases start-up time.
step 5:
Just apply these configuration and click ok... You will be prompted to restart. This time it should load much faster. [ Note: This works noticeably good when there are too many junk start ups and services. However viruses may affect certain startups which cannot be stopped this way ]
2. Registry cleaning:
There are softwares such as CCleaner and Glary utilities that clear disk spaces, defragment, Fix registry issues, erases tracks[ in case u visited some 'dirty site' ] and wipes of spywares. These are very useful tools in keeping your computer running. And the best part.... they are free.
i personally recommend Glary Utilities as they are the most user friendly and there is not much difference with full version and free version. It does everything mentioned above and take very less ram or processor cache memory.
3. Regularly check if there are junk softwares that you rarely use and remove them. Saves a lot of space and RAM usage.
4. Stick to simpler windows background [ for windows 7..unless you gt system like mine XD]. Again saves a lot of RAM.
These are some tips that can get your computer through any rainy day....
