I don't know about you, but my children (and wife) are always moaning about the speed (or lack of) when it comes to our home PC's performance. You get a new PC with a fancy new operating system and you are be-dazzled by its responsiveness and futuristic user interface. Novel little tools make life so much easier and you feel liberated that you don’t have to switch on the damned hardware and then go off and make a cup of coffee before it loads up all of your start-up programs. Then slowly but surely it starts to grind, grate, itch at your impatient soul. It happens to all of us, to the novice user who dabbles with applications they know little about or have little use for. It happens to the more advanced user who likes to tweak with utilities, processing power and partitions.
When the inevitable happens, it’s great to have a bunch of tools or registry edits that you can fall back on to clean up this fine mess. In the article Windows Registry - How to Improve the performance of your PC I discuss some of my favorite registry edits and system utilities that counter the slowing effect of PC 'tinkering'. So with these frustrations brewing I'd love to know what others think about the registry editor and most of all what tweaks are used by other end users to create a PC environment that delivers optimum performance.
