10 Steps to speed up your PC

Run any program after your PC Boots up completely.
Always Refresh the desktop after closing any application. This will remove all unused files in the RAM.
Do not use a very large file sized images as your wallpaper. If your PC is has low RAM (128 MB) Do not keep any wallpaper.
Do not have lot of shortcuts in your Desktop. Each shortcut in your desktop uses 500 bytes of RAM
Empty the recycle bin regularly, so that the deleted documents are removed from the hard disk completely.
Always delete the temporary internet files.
Do disk Defragmenter for your hard drive once every two months. This frees up lots of space in your hard disk and it rearranges the files so that applications run faster.
Keep the C Drive as empty as possible. Always select 2 partitions in your hard disk during installation of windows for your computer. Install all large Software in the second Drive. Windows will use all the available free space in your C drive as virtual memory when your RAM is fully used.
While installing new Software always disable the option of having a tray icon. This tray icons use RAM spaces, and slows down the booting speed of your PC.
Always keep your PC away from dust. Dust jams the CPU’s cooling fan and slow down the fan, thereby it gradually heats up your CPU and affects the processing speed. Never use vacuum cleaner to clean the dust, instead use compressed air to blow out dust from your CPU.
