These are some very common statements uttered by PC owners. If you are having any of these problems here are some basic tips which can help you optimize the performance of your system by optimizing your operating system.
Windows system optimization is the most basic tool which can maintain the performance of your system. You might be spending hours trying to adjust your CMOS settings, RAM frequency and even the registry setting of the windows. Well its time, you used some windows optimization tools for better performance of your system.
Disk Errors
Disk errors are most commonly prevalent in the majority of computer systems. And this is the most overlooked problem, even by computer professionals. You often escape the disk error scanning which pops up after a bad shutdown. Well if you keep on escaping the disk error scanning, chances are that your hard disk will develop bad sectors. These bad sectors will initially hamper the proper functioning of your system and then can lead to a hard disk crash.
You should make sure that you always allow the disk error scanning option to run and correct any of the disk errors on your hard disk. Once a week you should also run the 'thorough scan' disk option which scans the hard disk for errors and corrects them. You should check all the partitions of your hard drive. You can access this option by right clicking on your hard drive (c: in my computer) partitions and select proporties and then select scan disk from the tools options.
Temporary File Cleanup
Cleaning the temp folder in your windows is essential to getting rid of all the unwanted internet files. These files are also the left-overs from the programs which you have uninstalled from the system or other unwanted files. If you do not delete the contents of this temporary folder, the files could gather up to 100+ MB of useless files. Also, you should delete these files because it would help to save the hard disk as well. To delete these files select the Run option and type %temp% and press O.K. After it displays all the files, select all and delete them.
If you browse the internet with the help of explorer, the temporary cache files should be deleted from the temporary internet folder as well.
Defragmentation
Files which are stored randomly on your system tend to slow down its performance. Your system looks for the fragments of randomly distributed files from everywhere and eventually become slow. To bring back all the files of all programs together, use the windows de-fragmentation tool. This tool joins all the loose files and optimizes the performance of your window.
The Paging File
The paging file is widely known as the windows virtual memory file. This file is used by the system when the windows run short of the actual RAM. Windows keeps on increasing and decreasing the size of the page file, which in itself is not very efficient. This affects the accessibility of fragmentation of your files. You should rather define your own paging size. Select the minimum and maximum size of the virtual memory to be the same. A preferable size is about the double the RAM you have.
By following these basic windows optimization methods you can maintain good performance of your system.
