   Chris Pirillo is the most irritating person on the planet, and that includes the ads featuring the cave men. Stop him, please, I beg you!

   Speeding up the windows computer, is very simple. Defrag and clean windows, then get rid of temp files, cookies, and cache files. Doing this is as close to restoring the computer without doing so. Also turn off programs that is not being used that is running in the background. Do search and type in "temp" and open folders then delete the files and do the same with cache and cookies. But only delete content of those folders not anything that is not in a folder. Now turning off programs that runs in the background. click on run, then type msconfig, then startup and clear the checklist…I suggest to not uncheck your virus program and spyware program, but everything else go for it. You'll have a much faster running computer and experiment with different browsers other then internet explorer.

   …tried Google Chrome; it is as Chris says, fast! I have it as my default browser replacing IE8.

   As for the rest of the tweaks, I'd already done most of them.

   Has anyone mentioned increasing the paging file to 4095 MB? Make sure your hard drive isn't close to being full before doing this.

    check out tweakxp.com its a list of hints and tips that you can do if they apply to your system. There's also tweakvista.com. I used some of the tips on the xp one and it made a huge difference. It's basically a collection of all the tips the people above have suggested. I couldn't believe the difference prefetching made for example. Opened programs in a blink. Check it out.

    P.s. this Chris guy isn't so bad. If you didn't need his help you wouldn't be at sites like this.

    I'm surprised he didn't mention running some sort of registry cleaner. I tend to switch between Ccleaner or Eusing Registry Cleaner, and have been pretty satisfied with the results.

    Both programs are, to my knowledge, still freeware.

    Firewings13 – you are right on the money.

    Thought I'd give Google Chrome a go, but decided to read some reviews first. Didn't like that it always tells Google all about my pc. So instead I downloaded the SRWare Iron browser. apparently a clone of chrome, but without reporting back all the time. So far so good. Works ok and quite fast. I've done all the scans since I've used it and not found any hinky stuff.

    PS also check out easy cleaner from Toni Arts. No trouble in years of using it. It has a reg cleaner, useless file cleaner, program uninstaller, and everything goes to the recycle bin (if you say so) and can be stored if necessary. So far I've never had to restore anything and I've used it hundreds of times. Of course other reg cleaners will always find entries easy cleaner missed, but then it also finds some that they missed.

    Hey, glad to see a bunch of old friends – names I recognize from the end of the 80's.first of the 90's!!! I've used a number of AntiVirus and cleanup programs for the other parts. I've never found zombie ware, little 'seedlings' left by other bad visitors. I guess FireFox and Yahoo! are doing their jobs! But I am all for increasing speed. I'm paying Verizon Fios big money for great PC performance and I'm getting almost as slow as dialup! $40 v, $10. Any suggestions gladdly accepted Nancy
