Want to improve your Windows 7 start up? Well, Windows 7 Support has got a few tips for you.
Disable unnecessary startup programs
Disabling your Startup programs will stop programs from launching when you start your OS. Most users have a huge list of programs set to start automatically without their knowledge. The trick is to carefully check the options when you install new programs and disable the options where the application starts when Windows does. My recommendation is to disable everything, except your antivirus program. You can do this by following these steps provided by Windows 7 Support.
- Click on ‘Start’, type in ‘msconfig’ and press Enter.
- Now, the utility windows will launch. Under the ‘startup’ tab, you’ll see a list of programs that have been set to start up with Windows too.
- Uncheck all the unnecessary programs in that list and click Ok.
- When prompted, restart your system and you should feel an improvement in your system’s startup and performance.
That’s just one Windows 7 Support tip. Let’s check out what else Windows 7 Support has to offer.

The Bottom Line
12/3/08 – Intel’s Core i7-920 brings with it some major improvements over the previous Core 2 quad processor lineup. The new integrated memory controller provides it with a near double memory speed with PC3-8500 DDR3 memory over older PC2-6400 DDR2 processors. While the memory performance is a major increase, the overall performance of the Core i7-920 is probably on the order of about 10% faster in general. It’s a good first step for performance but Intel is set to improve it much more with upcoming revisions.
