Speeding Up Windows 7: Everything You Need to Know


No matter which version of Windows you use, you will find your PC slowing down after a few months of regular use. This holds true for the latest incarnation as well ““ Windows 7. There are several third-party utilities that optimize Windows, but it is not safe to run system programs from unknown developers
.
In this guide, we will cover speeding up windows 7 and how to optimize your Windows 7 PC or Laptop in a safe manner. These steps do not involve any “hacks”, so you can safely use them without harming your system in any way.

#1: Remove Unused Programs & Windows Features

When you buy a PC or laptop, it usually comes pre-installed with a lot of demo-ware, trial-ware, try-before-you-buy kind of software. If you like to play with new applications all the time, you might have yourself installed software downloaded from the Internet. Each program installed on your computer uses system resources that you are wasting if you don’t really need the software. Remove and uninstall all software that you no longer need from Control Panel ““> Programs ““> Uninstall a program. Also see How to Uninstall Applications Efficiently and Remove Obsolete Files.
Also, from Control Panel > Programs ““> Turn Windows features on or off, uncheck any Windows features you don’t need.

#2: Review Startup Programs

The most common cause of slowdown are programs that automatically run when Windows starts and keep running in the background consuming precious system memory.
The simplest way to detect which programs are running when you start Windows is to check the notification area on the taskbar. Click the up arrow to show hidden icons. Uninstall any programs you don’t need, or disable the option within that program to start it automatically.
msconfig
A better way to review startup programs is to use the System Configuration utility. From the

Customize Your Windows 7 System IN FIVE WAYS


We all long to be recognized as individuals. Consequently, we find ever more ways to express our uniqueness. As a result, fashion and design have extended their reach into all corners of our lives, making everyday items not only nice to look at, but also easier to use.

Windows 7 provides plenty of internal options to change the look and feel of your computer. It’s easy to give the operating system a unique style and at the same time enhance your experience as a user. For most of the coolest ways to customize Windows 7, you don’t even have to mess with hacks or additional software.
Let me show you how you can dress up your installation of Windows 7 and make using your computer a visual and functional joy.

1. Change The Welcome Screen

There are two basic things you can change that will affect the welcome screen. First of all, you can change your profile picture. Secondly, you can apply a hack or software to change the background image.
To change your profile picture, go to > Start and type > User Accounts into the bar that says > Search programs and files, then open the respective entry under > Control Panel. Next, select > Change your picture. You can now choose a default image or click > Browse for more pictures… at the bottom of the list to access your own files.

Once you have selected an image click the > Change Picture button and you’re done.

Speed Up The Windows 7 Shutdown Process IN Three Ways


One of the key improvements of Windows 7 is its lightning fast start-up. Aaron Dietrich of the Windows Client Performance team received a lot of praise for this achievement. However, what the developers apparently failed to optimize and speed up was the shutdown process.

Ever since I switched to Windows 7 on my laptop, which had previously shut down within seconds while running on Windows XP, the slow shutdown has been nagging me. If you also happen to be looking for ways to kick-start a Windows 7 slow shutdown, look no further! Here I will introduce you to 3 ways to optimize or speed up the logoff process, so that you can leave the office or get into bed faster.

Prologue

I tested these tips one after the other on my Windows 7 netbook (which shut down significantly faster after upgrading to 2GB RAM). I booted into Windows, started some standard programs, including Skype and Chrome with several different tabs open, waited until they had fully loaded, and then shut down the computer. In its native state, the shutdown took 32 seconds from clicking the ‘Shutdown’ button until the laptop had fully shut down.
Initial shutdown time on test machine: 32 seconds

1. Reduce Timeout To Kill Service Or App

Before Windows shuts down, it attempts to properly close all running processes. If a service doesn’t close immediately, Windows waits for a few seconds, until it prompts the user that the service is not responding to the shutdown request. The amount of this waiting time is defined by registry keys and you can reduce it.

These are two fairly harmless registry hacks. If you follow the steps outlined in this article, it should in no way harm your system. Nevertheless, I have to issue a warning:
Editing the registry can damage your operating system! I or MakeUseOf take no responsibility whatsoever!  Make a backup of your registry before continuing.
For the first hack, click the key combination > [WINDOWS] + [R], type > regedit into the text field, and click > OK to launch the registry editor.
In the registry editor, navigate to this folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
Within that folder (on the right) find and double-click the string > WaitToKillServiceTimeout.
In the > Edit String window, change the > Value data from the default of 12000 (12 seconds) to 2000 (2 seconds). Click > OK to save the change.

For the second hack, navigate to the followin

LEARN 10 Command Prompt Tricks and Hacks . Don't Miss It's Useful


The Windows Command Prompt tool, and many of its commands, might seem boring or even relatively useless at first glance, but as anyone who has ever used the Command Prompt very often can tell you, there's much to love!

Below are several Command Prompt tricks and other Command Prompt hacks that I guarantee will get you excited about many of the mundane sounding Command Prompt commands like telnet, tree, or robocopy... okay, robocopy sounds pretty cool.
Some of these Command Prompt tricks and hacks are special features or uses of the Command Prompt itself, while others are just neat or relatively unknown things you can do with certain commands. Enjoy!

Ctrl-C - Command Prompt Tricks
Just about any command can be stopped in its tracks with the abort command: Ctrl-C.
If you haven't actually executed a command, you can just backspace and erase what you've typed, but if you've already executed it then you can do a Ctrl-C to stop it.

Basic Tone & Colour Correction


Tone and colour correction within Photoshop can leave many new/novice users confused, not least because of the vast array of tools but also the less than intuitive way in which some operate. This tutorial explains the basic tools and should also clear up some other mysteries along the way. 
This version of the Basic Tone and Colour Correction
 tutorial has been revised to reflect the changes introduced with Photoshop 7. It has also been expanded to include comprehensive discussions on the following Adjustment tools.
  1. Brightness/Contrast
  2. Colour Balance
  3. Levels
  4. Curves
  5. Eyedroppers
Before starting any serious work in Photoshop it important that we have the monitor calibrated and have Photoshop correctly configured, see the Photoshop CS & Colour Management essay. It's also quite helpful to have the desktop arranged in a way that allows both the "Channels", "Layers" and "Histogram" palettes to be viewed at the same time. Actually customising the desktop to ensure your ideal workflow has never been easier.

How To Completely Restore Your Windows Computer To Factory Settings


Most computers from PC vendors come with certain pre-configured factory settings which are important to the computer’s operation. This is particularly true of laptops, which usually have special function buttons, and touch screen computers, which require special drivers in order to function. Of course, a computer from a factory also has default Windows settings and does not feature any of your own customizations
.
There may come a time in your computer ownership that you decide to basically hit the reset button.

This may be because your computer was struck by a virus, or it may be because you are selling your computer and you want to make sure your personal information can’t be retrieved by the person you are selling to.
Whatever your situation, this guide will help you completely restore your computer to absolutely pristine factory settings.

Step 1: Save Files & Folders

Depending on your version of Windows and the recovery system your computer’s vendor uses, some of your settings and files may be saved when you restore your computer to factory settings. However, it is best not to rely on this.
how do i completely restore my computer
Treat your restoration to factory settings the same as you would a complete re-format of your hard drive. Assume all data will be lost and back up all crucial information to an external har
