Speed Up PC by Customizing Windows Services

You can speed up your PC by disabling redundant windows services.
There are different services running in the background of Windows XP. Many of them are handy for a user in one environment and completely irrelevant for users using XP in another environment. While these services are running in the background of Windows XP, RAM resources are being consumed by each of them whether they are coming into your use or not.

For example, there is a windows service called "Print Spooler" whose job is to queue up the printing tasks that are pending. For a user who has a printer, it is an indispensable windows service. But on the other hand there are users who never need to use a printer with their PC. In their case this windows service is just a useless consumption of RAM. These windows services are set by default so that a standard windows installation never lacks services necessary for the diverse needs of different users who use windows in different environments.

Many windows services are really not useful for majority of common computer users. You can disable many of them very safely to speed up PC.

A Windows XP Edition with Optimum Performance

Speed up your PC with "Windows XP Performance Edition", which makes your computer speed optimum. It comes with all the needless windows services and features already removed from it and that's why it's the Windows XP with optimum performance. It's the same "Windows XP Professional" that is released by Microsoft but some smart person has tweaked it for the most common user environments.

As I will explain in detail in following post that there are redundant services running in the background of Windows XP which needlessly consume computer resources and make computer slow. Besides that some very unwanted things like media files, Windows Movie Maker, NetMeeting, Windows games etc. are also saved on hard disk which don't come in to use by majority of users.

By removing the redundant windows services and files of the original windows install we get a great solution for overcoming the lack of system resources (for those old PCs) and limited hard disk space.
