V. Right-click on My Computer icon on Desktop and select Manage (You can also open it by typing services.msc in RUN and press Enter). Now goto Services & Applications -> Services. Here you can set a few unnecessary services to Manual, which will not start with windows and will decrease the boot time and will increase system performance. Please follow the following tutorial to know about which services can be safely set to MANUAL:

When we install Windows XP, there are many services running in background. Among them many services are useless and can be set manual to make our windows faster.

In this tutorial I’ll tell you about the services which can be safely set to MANUAL.

1. Right-click on My Computer icon on desktop and select Manage, it’ll open a window, and then go to: Services & Application -> Services. To disable or Set a service to MANUAL, double-click on the service and select the desired option in Startup list box.

2. You can also open the same by going to Administrative Tools and open Computer Management.

NOTE: Always set the service to MANUAL, never disable it!! So that whenever windows needs to start a service it can easily start and use it. If you set any service to DISABLED, then windows will not be able to start it and it’ll make your Windows XP System ERROR…

Here is the list of sevices that can be safely set to MANUAL ( Many of them may be disabled automatically on some system) :

• Alerter
• Computer Browser
• Distributed Link Tracking Client (If you have NTFS partition, then don’t disable it)
• Fast User Switching Capability (removes Switch Users option)
• Indexing service
• Internet Connection Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing
• Messenger
  
• Remote Registry (Always disable it for Security purposes)
• Secondary Logon
• Server
• System Restore (If you don’t use System Restore)
• TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service
• Uninterruptible Power Supply
• Upload Manager
• Wireless Zero Configuration

ATTENTION!! : You can see the details of each service so that you can determine whether it should be disabled or not.

VI. Type msconfig in RUN and press Enter. Now goto Startup tab and deselect the unnecessary entries, which you don’t want to start automatically with Windows, e.g. you can disable VGA driver utility, Sound Card utility, etc to speed up the startup time and to increase system performance.

VII. Open Sound & Audio Devices in Control Panel (or type mmsys.cpl in RUN), goto Sounds tab and select No Sounds in Sound Scheme section. Or you can remain some of your favorite sounds but set Exit Windows, Start Windows, Windows Logoff, Windows Logon to (None).

VIII. For more options/tips-n-tricks, you can use TweakUI, Tuneup Utilities 2006 and gpedit.msc (Windows XP Professional built-in tool).
