It is undoubted that computer is quite useful in this modern society, even most work can not be finished well without computer. So, high computer performance is so important for all the users. Well, in this article, I will tell you some methods to improve computer performance usefully.

You should not neglect the influence of using character on computer speed.
Although Microsoft claims that Windows operating systems can install over one thousand of characters, in fact, more than five hundred can bring about problems to your computer. For example, the character disappears from listing of applications and Windows startup speed falls obviously. Therefore, you can delete those characters that you do not use usually. Meanwhile, you are supposed to backup them in case any accidents happen in the future.

You can simplify Windows system.
Compared to DOS system, Windows is too bulky and becoming larger and larger as the daily operations such as installing new software, loading runtime library, adding new games and so on. What is worse, the registry and runtime library along with the directory become larger without question. Even though you have deleted certain program, its DLL files still exist there. As time goes by, DLL dynamic link library is increasing day by day when starting or exiting Windows. That is why system is running slower and slower. At this moment you need to get rid of those DLL programs completely. It is suggested that you can reinstall your system at proper time.

You should clear up file fragments in the hard disk regularly.
Hard disk is one of the computer assemblies that are used frequently. If you perform too many operations to hard disks, it can make files restore discontinuously and takes longer and longer to read files. At this time, you need to use disk defragmenting program provided by Windows systems. Such program is able to rearrange the files and available space in the hard disks in order to speed up file reading and program running. And at the same time, it can monitor software’s loading frequency and put frequently-used application into read fastest disk position so as to reduce the time to search for tracks as much as possible. By doing this, it can accelerate reading speed. You can start this program in “Start”—“All Programs”—“Accessories”—“System Tools”—“Disk Defragmenter”. Disk defragmentation can optimize computer performance for sure, it is worthwhile having a try. Or, you can use other specific defragmenting programs to help you if you dislike the slow speed of Windows program.

Besides, you can delete starting random programs.
What is starting random program? It is the program loaded when booting system. They can not only slow down booting speed but also expend computer resource and memory faster. You can type “Msconfig” in the “Run” to open system configuration to stop those disturbing programs.

By reading this article, I am sure you can learn some ways to optimize computer performance. But it is far from enough to improve computer speed, you ought to get more knowledge in this regard.
