Is your laptop taking a long time to start, run programs and load pages on the internet? If so, then you may have some tidying up to do on your machine. There are a couple of easy ways to speed up your notebook or laptop and ensure that it keeps running in tip top condition.



When you start your laptop up, it may be installing and reinstalling a lot of programs. This will all add up and eventually everything will slow down. You can configure your start up in the run tab of the Start menu. You will type in msconfig and click ok. A window will open up and you click on the startup tab. Here you will be shown everything that starts when you switch on your laptop or notebook. Just be sure of what these programs do before you delete them, in case they are important.

One of the more obvious parts of speeding up your laptop is to empty the recycle bin. The memory of a notebook or laptop is not very big and if you are clogging it up with deleted files and items you don't need then you will have a slow system, so don't forget to delete the items that are in your recycle bin. You can also help to speed things up by finding any unused programs and delete them. Part of the scheduling of your machine will be to erase some temporary files that you don't need. This will also help to boost the speed and improve the functioning of your laptop. Many temp files that you get from downloading files from the internet or saving and opening emails will be stored forever. A special program will go through them all and get rid of the unimportant ones.

If you are constantly online, then you will also need to have a great spyware and adware remover in place, because these cookies and spyware programs that get downloaded will slow your notebook down dramatically. This is also something that is simple to do and should be automatically scheduled for a certain time of day. You should perform a defrag of the system files to improve performance of your notebook or laptop. This means that you will be mending the holes that have formed in your files and drives where you have deleted items and copy pasted other items and moved things around. Everything you do on your notebook or laptop will be remembered and holes will be left which slow things down. A defrag will fix everything and boost speed of notebook or laptop.

Boost speed of notebook or laptop can also be achieved by looking at the hard disk drive space on the machine. If you have removed unnecessary programs and items like pictures and music files, performed a defrag and configured your start up then you might need to get a bigger hard drive. This could be the reason that your notebook or laptop is so slow. Once you have gone through this list, you machine should be working perfectly and cause you no more irritation.
