As always my advice is that if it's not broken don't fix it!

Otherwise uninstall programs you don't use if it's a brand name PC which very often comes with a pile of trials and the likes of Norton for example.

1135840 2010-09-09 20:38:00 Also list your system spec's as win7 on a older comp is not going to run as quick as a newer spec machine Lawrence (2987)

1135842 2010-09-09 20:50:00 Disable windows search, you dont need it. Remove anything in windows features, you dont need /want Speedy Gonzales (78)
1135843 2010-09-09 21:15:00 Agree with the second suggestion "Remove anything in windows features, you dont need /want"

But not always the search, I use it every day, and I know lots of other people that do as well, it works good when used correctly, and to be honest I have not seen any speed difference between it on /off.

1135846 2010-09-10 00:36:00 NOT a good idea turning services off under msconfig. If you want to disable any, disable them under services. This applies to XP, Vista or Win7 Speedy Gonzales (78)
