If like me, you’d rather use an old computer than buying a new one. A good way of keeping it running at a usable speed is by limiting the processes that load at start up. When Windows (of all versions I have used) starts. It loads many programs that remain redundant in use after the operating system has fully loaded in to memory. This slows the whole operating system down.
Using a program like Startup Inspector allows a user to prevent these processes from loading and keeps an otherwise slow computer running smoothly. It takes a bit of experimentation to get working. However, following these two principles seems to work well enough for me.
1. Do not prevent processes linked to the Windows System folder from loading.
2. The more memory a process shows up as using the slower the computer will be with it running.
It’s possible to link to the program at download.com .
If like me. You use an Apple some of the time. This feature is easily accessible through the system properties folder.
