Loading...It is extremely easy to speed up your computer by tweaking only a handful of default system setting in Windows 7 OS. To make windows more appealing to our eyes, by default a number of unnecessary settings are pre-programmed in Windows 7 which can be tweaked or disabled only in a few mouse clicks in regedit.
Firstly to open the regedit(registry editor) in Windows 7, go to start and type “regedit” to open the application.(I personally recommend to firstly backup the whole registry before performing any hacks.)
Contents
Open the Registry Editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Control Panel > Desktop. Find MenuShowDelay and open it. There you will see a default value of 400 milliseconds, change it to 100.
step 2: Disable Notification Balloons
Notification balloons are a bit attractive but at the same time they eat up a lot of windows memory resources which eventually slows your computer To disable these notifications, open regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Explorer>Advanced.
Right-click there, open the “New” sub-menu and click on “DWORD.” Type “EnableBalloonTips” into the box and press enter. Double-click “EnableBalloonTips,” type 0 into the box and click “OK” and save.
step 3: Disable Paging
Your operating system would run faster if they were loaded into memory. This can be performed by disabling paging executive. Open regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Control>Session Manager and Memory Management.Double-click “DisablePaging Executive” from the right pane, adjust its value to 1 and click “OK” and save.
step 4: Tweak Windows 7 speed
Does your OS boot too slowly? Here’s how to tweak your system registries to speed up your Boot time .
Run regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > ContentIndex.
In the right menu locate the value called “StartupDelay.” Next double-click and open StartupDelay. Change the “Base” from Hexadecimal to Decimal, and enter 40,000 instead of the default setting which is 480,000. Now restart your computer to experience the difference.
After you have performed all the above mentioned Windows 7 tweaks, your Windows experience will surpass even what your expected before reading this.
